  2. I live my life like Dorian Yates not for vainglorious reasons but for my own sanity and peace.

    I only have one egg. All I can do is put it in one basket.

    Discipline = freedom

  3. He is the opposite of a monk. He is about self indulgence. Worried about his self physical gain every second. Whereas a monk is about putting himself to the side to allow God to grow and lead. Dorian had to go inwards and follow, "me, myself and I," to accomplish his goal of most muscular man in the world. A monk goes outside of himself and follows Father, Son and Holy Spirit to serve all the other people in the world. I've had a passion for bodybuilding since a young kid, but I would never compare it to being a monk.

  4. As a mgtow monk mentality following person last one year, I had tell one thing for men women is distraction and suffering is a choice GET A MONK MENTALITY BROTHERS MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!

  5. yoooo the most real question i can ever ask, that first workout Mr. Yates is doing in the start, is there ANY workouts you can do that emulate that? there isnt any machines like that around and i know that has to destroy your Lats more then anything

  6. Dorian had a big affect on the bodybuilding community in the 90’s! When Bob Paris came out of the closet in 1989 it had a negative view on Bodybuilders as all or most being gay! The Weiders and Joe Gold needed to salvage and resurrect the sport quickly! Gone was the aesthetic pretty boy bodybuilder of the 80’s, now they needed to “blow peoples minds!

By 1993 gone was the pretty boy Bodybuilders of the 80’s and In were the mass monsters! The sport needed the teenagers of blue collar families to prosper! Every muscle magazine had pics of enormously huge Bodybuilders dressed in a”hard core look”! They were dressed in jeans and t shirts and work boots to attract a blue collar group of young men who would purchase just about anything the magazine could offer them to obtain their goals of becoming a world class bodybuilder. My neighbors son was 13 in 1993, he begged his dad to take him to a bodybuilding contest in Orlando Florida where Mike Francois was guest posing, his father was not very pleased that his only son was intrigued by becoming a bodybuilder. A year later he took him to see Dorian at a contest where he was guest posing and his so told him I want to look like that someday! He would train for years until he graduated high school and went into the Marines for four years and then stayed in California for a year after and trained with some of the big mass monsters of the 2000’s! He moved back to Florida in 2004 and would Compete on and off in local and state BB contests to

  7. Today's gyms are shameful. I feel I train with a bunch of cyber digital depressed zombies, chained neck to toes to their little phones!

    The look at me generation.

  8. I have seen NFL guys and they look so much bigger than bodybuilders. They literally are next kevel athletes that are 300 or more pounds but athletic
