Raw Bodybuilding, Health & Life Advice From a 6x Mr. Olympia | Dorian Yates (E050)

[@steve4633]

I love Dorian Yates. He's totally right about mobile phones. It's a massive phone addiction. I agree with him on everything

[@jarlwhiterun7478]

We will look back at mobile phones one day with the same perspective as cigarettes and things that damage mental health too

[@BRUTUSz]

80-90% are glued to their phones. Same in EU. Talk about crowd control. A device to control everyone. If you speak about it, you get called an idiot. I never look at the phone in the gym. Cant remember last time i even looked. If someone cant go 1 hour without the phone, then you need serious help with addiction.

Dorian Yates is amazing as be's done it at the top of the sport for 6 years then done a successful business in DY nutrition, also is happy, reads, learns, he's found the happy medium in life, tried this and that. Wealth of experience and knowledge. What an amazing guy.

Great show, lads! I just found out listening to this that you have an office in Bucharest where I live. I was wondering why I was starting to see a lot of the Dorian Yates products in the stores I visit. Great to finally have access to your products in nearby shops. Keep doing amazing stuff! Greetings from Bucharest, RO!

[@Marbella-Dave]

Words of wisdom. great interview gentlemen

[@AtroposzMr]

Very good and interesting interview. DY is my idol, you can learn a lot from him. Another positive thing that Mike let him speak and did not interrupt him often unnecessarily which is a very annoying habit at other podcasts.

[@markholden9147]

Dorian Yates is one of the most intriguing and fasinating guys you can get on these pod casts its always a pleasure is listen to this philosophy and what model are those nikes your wearing mike thanks I like them

[@LDacic]

For me, THC is not recreational, it's therapeutic. A few times a year (often only once), I'll get very high, by myself at home, and let my brain take me to a very dark place. It's always terrifying because it magnifies every minor insecurity I have and makes me face a blown-up version of all the life problems at that particular time. The good part is that every time I come up with an answer for each and every one of those insecurities and life problems (e.g. yes, that may be true but here's what I'm doing to get out of this particular situation and why it's expected to work). Tomorrow morning, I write down a detailed plan on how to tackle every one of these topics and I get a boost of motivation to go get it. CBD, on the other hand, is very good for inflammation and daily use, simply to mellow you out in situations where you need extra patience (with family members, loved ones, friends, pets, etc.) All that said, however, I cannot agree with the "no downsides" position that Dorian, and many others, take. I started smoking recreationally when I was circa 13 years old, and so did most of the gang I hung out with. It's undeniable that it fucked with my memory. I have massive holes from that part of my life all the way until mid 20s when I cleaned up my act. Yes, there were other substances involved, but I know many people who are proper potheads and they all, without exception, show massive memory problems. Also, there are numerous life situations where assertiveness is very much needed and recreational pot will take this edge away from you, often when you need it the most. Well, pardon the essay, but someone might find it interesting. Cheers all!

Best British bodybuilder. He never had any education and bodybuilding was his only way out. Got him a networth over $20 million

[@Joe-xo3xy]

@FirstThingsTHRST here is a testimonial for you and Dorian; About 15mnths ago, being a hobbyist bodybuilder or professional, we always have a burn out point where we leave training and try to figure out what went wrong. I really wanted to come back better and said let me try something new, I know the former Mr. olympia did this exclusive training protocol; I started watching his videos but could not understand what he was doing until I noticed it was 1 set, 1 exercise for each part i.e Upper chest 1 set, lower pec 1 set, mid back 1 set, upper back 1 set and so on and I was freaking excited. I tried it out, got great results and then, my nervous system started going crazy, like a martial artist, the reps started getting more powerful and the density started kicking in and now at 42, way below TRT most guys use, in combination with my old prep diet, I am bigger, denser, leaner than when I was on full blown cycles in my mid 20's. Dorian won't believe my split, I learnt a lot from him, no biceps on back day and no triceps on chest day, it is reversed to avoid over lapping parts going into over training. I do a big cheat meal at the start of my training week, use that energy to train chest and back, not more than 4 or 5 exercises and working sets on back and not more than 3 working sets and exercises on chest, then over the week, I go into the gym and train the smaller parts like tris, bis, abs, traps, calves and the next big workout is quads and hams at the end of the week, I said, if traditionally we train 1 part per week, I will do 1 part every 10 days and it has worked wonders for me. After training for a whole year to failure, my nervous system has gotten so strong that it is beggining to get fatigued! I do 1 week HIT and the other week is straight away to deload, same exercise as HIT week but 3 sets for every exercise at 70% roughly with very little rest so between sets so I can still do light damage to the muscle, 3 sets at 70% is hard because I am still getting too close to failure, not going to failure is the hardest thing ever when you are used to going balls to the wall. Tell Dorian that HIT works so well because for example, each back exercise feeds off the other, they are all synergistic, mid lat row or Dumbell row will work very well with upper back, so it is more like 2 working sets rather than 1. Thanks to Dorian and Mentzer, I think very hard about volume and frequency and even exercise selection and pairing

Agree with Dorian about phones. I remember being on a first date during the early days of phones and texting. I didn't understand why everytime her phone buzzed with messages, she had to reply instantly! It was then I walked. Little did I know how the phone would then run people's social lives. If I'm in social company, or any sporting activity, the phone stays away.

[@BRUTUSz]

I in my 30``s and feeling this society is going backwards. I have a rule. When in the gym and outside, no phone use at all. I call it digital break. Even going to a place near the ocean to sit and relax, almost everyone are glued to their phones. Feel the air, hear the waves, observe the nature. Best to stop here, have a nice day : )

[@MD77135]

Good podcast for sure. Dorian Yates is eloquent and I personally like to listen him. He has some good takes on life and working out. I do not agree though on his views on psychedelics and weed. As there might be benefits for your health by smoking weed it might also have a negative impact on your psyche. Having a beer might get someone drunk who is not used to drinking, but smoking a joint could have a bad impact on your psyche that you can´t recover off as quick as you´d recover from a little buzz caused from having a beer. As for psychedelics: Why would you try to explore something that you don´t know anyways? Is it gonna change your life for the better? Of course you´d have to try it if you would really want to find out, which I would not recommend. I personally think that the risk of a negative impact on your soul if something goes wrong is greater than the benefits you will experience. Sure enough people are curious and some try to do forbidden, dangerous or risky things. This is a part of human nature. Nevertheless I believe you have to be really strong mentally to deal with such things.
