Shoulders & Triceps With Dorian Yates

Ephesians 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

[@Bahamut998]

Sorry to tell you Zanar, but it’s not because some dude has been lifting for years that he’s beyond reproach. Especially since these greats have been pumping themselves full of roids for years, often doing absurd training that would result in injuries for most naturals. I know Yates is some kind of god to you British, but that clouds your judgment. Same with Arnold, I pretty much watched all his training videos and read his massive bodybuilding book, lots of the advice is basically wrong if scrutinised today, but Arnold got away with it by pumping full of roids and avoiding injury that way.

[@yqafree]

@Nickboy395 I'm not discounting what you're saying in ways. But I think I would defend what I think he intended to mean by his comment, if my exegesis is correct. It seems that Zanar has criticized the kind of people that so often criticize others who have achieved greatness, regardless of roids or no roids, to talk about all kinds of distracting fitness philosophies or they make these "scientific" pontifications that take time away from productive training and the impressive results that a human can achieve. For examples to what I think we're critical of Peter Katcherian (might have spelled his last name incorrectly) often speaks to this and Geoffrey Verity Schofield also did in a video called "Typical Hardgainer Bullsh*t" And if you think about what was said in this video and those I referred you to, I think you can respect the dialectic that we're persuaded of, even as imperfect as it is. - Your Quality [fitness] Apologist

I'm 55 now and looking back on my body building career I totally overtrained in my 20s . I make better gains now by doing less and apply Dorian's principles. I was at the Olympia to witness Lee Haney ( The Goat) break Arnold's record. I passed Dorian after but didn't dare say a word to him cuz he was so dejected and pissed off I thought he would rip my head off. Haha. Your looking good! Keep up the great videos!

Ive always found myself going heavy on side laterals (and shoulders in general) has been the key to big delts. Most people ive known who advocate for slow controlled movement or higher reps on delts had smaller shoulders than me and whenever I worked lighter/slower my delts soon started lagging

[@deansawyer3575]

Brilliant session. Dorian is right, always do the full motion, that's what skeletal muscle is designed to do. I'm a few years older than Dorian and have always trained that way for over 46 years and have been injury free, and am still as strong as I was 30 years ago. Like Dorian says it's not complicated, progressive overload is all it takes, but consistency and self discipline is what takes real effort.

Dorian is probably the best training coach. I learn stuff from watching tbese vids with him.

[@julianr8086]

I think there's one reason why people criticize Dorian's method. It's because they never really train past failure each and every workout. Instead, they do high-volume workouts to fatigue the muscle but not really creating that muscle hypertrophy.

[@julianr8086]

@@oldskoolbodybuildingroutin7178 I was saying why he is being criticised. As long as you train smart and leave everything in the gym, following with a proper diet and recovery regiment you should in theory grow regardless of HIT or high volume (probably a combination of the two would yield the best results). Muscle building is an awful lot more than just workouts method , starting from genetics, lifestyle, supplements, anabolics etc… To assume that most of the hit people are small and volume people are big, is a poor comment nonetheless.
