Old school bodybuilder

Dorian Yates is one of the strong, heavy bodybuilder in the field.
He entered the bodybuilding world with heavy, big shape that changed the Olympia competition from big, classic bodybuilding into big, heavy shape bodybuilding that made a threat to Lee Haney.

His training style is totally different from others, very old heavy school training, he always depend on lifting heavy weight & free movements, the result was a great shape that made him Mr.Olympia.

Lets talk about one of his strong points, his Back muscles< his training routine was as follow:


  • Machine pull over 
  • Barbell rows
  • Dead lifts
  • Close grip reverse pull down
  • One hand dumbbell rows.
Of course he was changing the above exercises from time to time to include seated rows, front pull down & chin ups, but the above exercises were the main.

Dorian Yates was & still great bodybuilder.
