Tip: You have the WRONG mindset if you simply focus on trying to copy some routine he did instead of understanding WHY he trained like that for his own body at that particular time.
There is LOGIC behind why I am doing shoulders today and not yesterday.

I don’t intend to copy his routines, I’m just trying to educate myself. I don’t blindly follow anything.

"I’m 300lbs, unless you’ve been training for 35 years you couldn’t possibly understand why I posted what I posted.
Why the fuck are you even on this forum if you don’t understand that you can’t understand what an Olympian understands?"[/quote]
Troll-- take it and your multiple accounts elswhere.

Cool. A lot of people here seem to not understand that.

Pause that “best of” video of Dorian at 52/53 seconds… I was shocked the first time I saw that and had to go back and make sure it wasn’t shadows playing a trick on my eye.
I have always considered Dorian the thinking man’s bodybuilder, one of my favorites of all time for sure. [/quote]
SCOTT:
Scott Abel said that Dorian trained the wrong way and that he would’ve progressed and looked better if he trained like an Abel Body. [/quote]
Not sure where you heard that one.
I edited an article from Scott Abel recently where he goes on at length about how much he admired Yates, even going so far as telling his training partner to simply watch Dorian lift and learn from it.
Best of the Best of the Back

Dorian Yates had a big back, but he trained it wrong. You heard me, wrong. At least that’s what Scott Abel says. But you know something? After we read this article, Scott convinced us. We’re now doing it the Abel way.

Ahh, it was in the teaser title. Makes sense now.
It’s your dedicated editors who come up with those lines. So I’m gonna pin that one on Shugart. I can smell his milk-hating ways a mile away.
Scott Abel: "“How do we know that Dorian couldn’t look better and progress better using other training ‘styles’.”
Yeah, he could have looked better - better than what was needed to lose only 1 contest in his whole career, win a shitload of Olympia and Grand Prix contests, and hold his own against Matthew Mendenhall at age 24.
