Mr. Olympia Workouts: Dorian Yates
 
The 6 time Mr. Olympia winner (1992-1997) owes much of his success to the HIIT training method, originated with Mike Mentzer, which maintains maximum muscle stimulation through high intensity training rather than long duration workouts. He believes in lifting intelligently – using your time efficiently with negative movement as the most important part of the rep.

I have always respected Dorian for his focus and consistency as a competitor. Here is some insight into Dorian’s training routine.

Dorian’s Secret: Be flexible with REST. Take an extra day off if you need it.

It seems like he only does the warm-up set then one working set? Is that accurate or am I misreading something.

No you're not misreading it, that's how he trained
One set all out
His warm up sets where also heavy, he didn't warm up with with small weights like most do.

i have done blood and guts and liked it
but really need something different in you to go how dorian does on that working set its brutal but when do it myself never felt like done it justice
a training partner would help get you to push more as need to go beyond failure and more

paige 12-15-2014 02:03 PM

Yeah, I don't have a training partner so I can do a true all out set without being stuck under some weight!

I completely agree with andy. Whenever I've tried to train this way I just can't push the all out set enough to feel I've done it justice. Whether its a mental thing or not it just doesn't work for me.

I don't even think that having a partner would help. No Sandow for me I'm afraid. Not in this lifetime anyway. Thank God I love working out though!

you need a strong spotter, you have to do negatives and negative failure
