Dorian trained 3.5 hrs a week at his peak

[kentpaul]

the operative word being 'trained efficiently'!

[xpin2winx2]

dorian has to have one of the sickest side triceps ever.

[kentpaul]

i grew up in birmingham and saw him once after he retired. he was freakish even then.

Nice video man!

One random thing I noticed.. go from 4:20. Flex Wheeler is listed as 5'9, Dorian 5'11. They look the same height there.. WHAT IS THIS????

his injuries have nothing to do with his style of training.

wut^ lol

and you dont have to be in the gym 10 hours a day to grow or even lose weight.
people seem to misunderstand the fact that when you're in the gym you're tearing muscles and you grow outside of the gym.
so 3.5 hours is 210 minutes
210 divided by 5 = 40 something minutes a session which is plenty .

excatly! Plus when I went to one of his seminars he talked about how he tried 5 day splits but in the end he really always ended up doing 4 days of lifting a week as he just got to burnt out on 5. That being said that means each session was like 50-55 which as you say is more than plenty of time!

5 star thread but no reps lol

Tore bicep doing 'Yates" rows?

[Zeneth]

Yeah, I think it was to do with his diet.

[Loctus]

Does he even lift?

[HollywoodJohn]

Some guys just seem more prone to injury... It's hard to explain, off course the fact that he went balls to the wall while on reduced calories state had some influence but injuries can happen to anyone, really.
Evan Centopani for example is deadlifting 6 plates, arguably could do even more at 5% bodyfat and very low-carbs, just one day after high rep deadlifting and he never had an injury...
Some guys spend their entire careers without any major injury, guys like Branch have teared almost every single muscle by 34 (granted he trains like a retard).. Sh*t happens!

[wala]

3.5 hours is enough, don't know why anybody would be surprised at that figure?

[DanielEver]

Yeah, I think it was to do with his diet.

not exactly. he did get injured because he couldn't hold the intensity and worked to the max every time, specially while diteting to the show, while he had to cool down a little.

[jiveinhere]

Yeah, I think it was to do with his diet.

rofl

I heard it was cause of his haircut?

[artDDP]

My God, those chest striations...and those quads!

[palumboism]

he also tore a bunch of muscles ... efficient.

Yeah lol, he averaged an injury every 100hrs or so during his training career.

[go2failure]

His back at 1:57 is insane!!! absolutely ridonkulous

[Terminator84]

HIT sucks
