Dorian Yates CHEST and BICEPS workout review by Hypertrophy Coach Joe Bennett

[@MarathonBlueprint]

For the MASS!!!

[@Diegodaninjalol]

I always thought he said “to the max” but this makes more sense 😂

[@xavyps8277]

I really like your series. Finally someone understanding, realizing the clues and explaining Dorians training. I‘ve been using exactly these principles for years. As an engineer I really like your “moment arms”. Finally somebody who understands mechanics!

[@robinselkirk]

I had the FLEX magazine Dorian black and white foldout poster in my bedroom growing up! Nearly 30 years ago. Great breakdown looking forward to the next round of blood and guts. I do appreciate it.

[@BarbellsandBBQ]

Great times and I still have that magazine

[@GotFaculty]

Excellent teaching

[@justsomeguywithamustache4420]

21:55 joe there is no spoiler. I watch blood and guts every day for 4.5 years now. I have literally memorised the dvd and Leroy's screaming.

[@hubertcoach]

What do you think about Basement Bodybuilding? I think he has some things in common with your training philosophy and I would like to see you talk and exchange thoughts. For example biomechanics and even programing (ex. push with biceps instead of triceps and pull with triceps).

[@nikola.personaltrainer]

Very nice video. I like these series. Keep up!!!

[@WileyHyena]

Great series of videos analyzing Yates. Superb.

[@barbellalliancetraining]

LET’S SEE IT THEN YATES!!!

[@tshiamophoko3049]

Hey, coach. I'm loving and learning a lot from these workout reviews, thanks. After Dorian, please do Lee Haney's workouts and maybe even diet.

[@chrishamann6321]

Hugely beneficial series to supplement my training. Keep them coming. Thanks.

[@remywarren9827]

Another great educational video. Thanks!

[@dondinero13]

Awesome breakdown Coach. Keep this up. Thank you

[@lusitanus6504]

I subscribed to this channel right from the first video I saw. At this point I can spot quality really fast.

[@HypertrophyCoach]

👊🙏🙏

[@Masters-Muscle]

Blood and Guts is my favorite workout video too. I make all of my competitors watch that video to learn what intensity looked like.

[@rodneyellis3824]

I think this is by far becoming the best channel for realistic Hypertrophy training education without all the fitness industry clickbait nit picking B.S Dont change a thing about how you present your opinions Joe.

[@j-uk2189]

Hypertrophy coach. Have you not got any niggles or suffered injuries in your training career, sir? Great video!! Keep it up! 👍🏼

[@vperkv6554]

Legit, you are my new favorite lifting guru. I did a deep dive on your lat pull downs. And cant get enough. Back day is and always been my favorite. Aside from deadlifts but i can only do deadlifts once a week for recovery so i can still do my back atleast twice a week. ( well, technically, 3 times with deadlifts😂)

[@HypertrophyCoach]

👊👊🙏🙏

[@cygregory3773]

Having read a lot of Dorian's workouts he would say things like "3 movements for chest, 2 for biceps" I wonder if he did more exercises at this stage due to the injuries he was working around, just to get the same level of stimulus.

[@peterdarling1965]

👍💪👍 Great Tutorial! Thank you Joe.

[@Joe-xo3xy]

Hello Joe, regarding redundancy; Some exercises can become redundant, with HIT, as you get advanced and hopefully, stronger in terms of nervous system and muscle recruitment, less can be beneficial; It will save you from injury/over use as well as just general over training and recovery capability. However, it should be noted that certain muscles are over lapping like front delt will basically over lap all day long in a full chest session as well as triceps, hence why Dorian would do biceps with chest and tris with back. Certain parts like chest is not really over lapping, therefore, additional work may be needed to get some signalling of training. May be Dorian needed 1 more exercise to get the feed back he needed, not to say that 1 inlcine set was not enough but may be he did not get that slight soreness, an issue I have faced with chest, especially the upper portion. HIT has rules but slight adjustments may be needed and should be made as you progress.

[@vicnh4994]

I think the filming of blood and guts was after the bicep tear and the left bicep had decreased in size by that time.

[@punkandlifting]

These videos are gold

[@briantompkins2339]

In regards to the tendon/insertion: I believe this video was filmed after Dorian's injury.

[@Dylanmonroy-]

What’s your thought on his routine chest and bis on the same day exc

[@zackcanary7843]

Coach i wanted to ask, can i train my arms 3 times a week, and how much set and programs i should do in those tree?

[@KAXBodybuilding-ct6wj]

Thanks !

[@1922johnboy]

Absolutely wonderful ❤😮😊

[@coachamitkatoch4445]

Well done coach 💪💪👍👍

[@James18102]

What are your thoughts about his training split overall? And how he changed it from the torso limbs over time?

[@dozermendoza]

My favorite split: Chest/Biceps Legs OFF ABS CALVES STRETCH Back/Rear Delts Shoulders/Triceps OFF ABS CALVES STRETCH REPEAT

[@leonidasbasatis4443]

Every time i see or read about chest training i conclude that for pressing the dumbells or converging machines are the best solution. Icant see the reason to use the bar for pressing

[@curtislumsden1405]

I know Dorian plugged the Decline as numero uno for Chest development - he said the humerus path in the decline most reflected the function of the pec if I'm not mistaken....is it just the angle of the video you're showing or does this high of an incline seem to line up really well with the angle of his sternum? If I try to imagine him on a decline I feel like it would bias less of his chest (i.e. does this high incline in fact bias more chest fibers in someone with his structure vs someone with a "flatter" sternum?)

[@samguzman989]

Hello Joe I love your videos but will be great that you can do something for glutes 🙌🏻

[@JRRichards123]

Hey coach, I’m 53 been lifting regularly for 4 years. I’ve gotten stronger and look generally good (like I work out), but no true gains. Been stuck around 25% bf. I’m thinking I need to drop to about 12% and then do a controlled bulk. Suggestions? Glad to pay for advice.

[@adammiller9179]

Yes, cut. Slow and controlled with breaks every couple months. 25% bf is a bit high. You'll look "bigger" with much less bf. When you are ready to bulk, start with 'lower' volume and low caloric surplus. You can always increase if you need to. Beyond that, you would need to talk to a coach and provide more details (current training, diet, lab work [T levels?], etc.).

[@shane_rm1025]

Agree with what the other guy said. In addition to looks your insulin resistance at a higher body fat can limit your gains.

[@JRRichards123]

@@shane_rm1025 Fascinating thanks. I'm on a cut.

[@JRRichards123]

@@adammiller9179 Thanks. That sounds right.

[@rahulkumarojha4738]

Great joe

[@DCJayhawk57]

Wasn't Dorian's left bicep already previously torn by this point?

[@shawnpatten6515]

Great video. Thanks for posting.

[@Baloshz]

cant wait to bring you Joe to the real Moulin Rouge in Paris. You ll got all the night to study women anatomy 😉 Great hommage to the big Dorian, Ive got very long forearms, and short torso, for me the wide grip guillotine bp on Smith machine is a killer for my chest

[@PrimeMatt]

With the Flyes, if I do them 'text book' I only feel the front delt stretch. To feel the pec it looks different to most people's. I'm guessing this was likely the case for Dorian, he would have used the path he felt the most.

he got them cbum arms

[@HypertrophyCoach]

Yup

[@Liamgane2]

Leroy davis was his training parter always hyped him up screaming lol .

[@Joe-xo3xy]

@Hypertrophy Coach- I thought to add something very important-this is diminishing returns on additional sets-lets say you are a HIT trainer or even volume like Jay Cutler, I respect his take on it in terms of his approach to each exercise, not overall volume.So, I complete my first exercise for upper back, I then do a second exercise, You will find that if maximum or close to max. intensity was applied in the previous, the target area (biased target area) will not even function on full range (in most cases). An athlete will then try additional reps or sets and it just gets worse each time. The result is poor diversification of energy,meaning other exercises or sets will suffer greatly, you will most likely over train, loss of mood which if we dig deeper, mood elevation is connected to sex hormone production as I have heard from Huberman. I think this is an issue that the HIT principle fixes or tries to fix. In fact, HIT hints that there is no such thing as isolation, each exercise compliments the next

[@IAMJhonnyBravo]

IDGAF Dorian set the standard in bodybuilding after his transformation in '93 & '94. Nobody ever had the same death face...dryness...denseness...grainieness...etc... Yates should be the ambassador for Mr. Olympia!

[@jeelani5530]

❤for🇮🇳 the coach😊💪

[@zolni3rz]

Question about the cable flys moment arm. Why is it overloading the shortening position? Considering the cable/line of force is farther away from the shoulder when his upper arm is parallel to the floor, and that the cable is essentially running through his lower arm in the contraction, would this not make it easier in the shortened range? Loving the videos lately, thanks.

[@98danielray]

you have to check the distance between the line orthogonal to the hinge (in this case the joint) and the line of force. The line of force is not "further away", because if you extend it, you'll notice it goes towards your body (imagine that the cable is pulling outwards), so it pulls away instead of rotating your shoulder.

[@98danielray]

to be more explicit, trace a line that passes through your hand and has the direction of the cable pulling. if you draw its perpendicular distance to your shoulder (the length of the segment that goes out from your shoulder and towards the line in a right angle), you can realize it is smaller than when your arms are closed.

[@TheBeav30]

That left bicep was already tore that’s why it looked like he has a long tendon

[@PrimeMatt]

I too shame the younger generation who have not watched Blood and Guts at least 100 times 👌🏼

[@jayb2467]

That bicep you drew on was his torn bicep. But no he didn’t have great bicep genetics

[@krystofodehnal9448]

Lol. Dorian's tendon on his left arm is long because he tore his bicep.

[@HypertrophyCoach]

That would actually make it shorter. You can looks at pics pre-tear anyway. He’s always had “bad” genetics for biceps.

[@krystofodehnal9448]

@@HypertrophyCoach Yeah I mean the space between bicep and elbow is bigger because it is tore on the left arm. Not that the tendon is long, I said it wrong. It was actually a tear in the muscle, not a tendon tear, unlike his tricep. But you are right, his biceps are probably his weakest bodypart as he said himself.

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

[@magendranasogan1264]

[@kennyt3]

I would argue and say chest and bicep are dorian's weakest body parts

[@98danielray]

I dont think his chest was particularly weak, but biceps were

[@HypertrophyCoach]

Biceps for sure.

[@DavidKArrrrgh]

Dorians biceps? Skip that one

[@krystofodehnal9448]

Still bigger than your thighs and back combined
