Dorian Yates - A Warrior's Story

[whiskeyjackie]

Just received a copy of A Warrior's Story. I searched for this book for a long time and finally here it is.



Dorian Yates is one of my idols. I've always liked his no bullchit approach, and the simple ways of training he preaches.

This book is an old school jewel. 148 pages of great and rare pics, philosophy and training tips. The first section, written by Peter McCough, covers the most important moments of Dorian's life, from his humble beginnings to his Olympia conquers.



Section two, by Dorian himself, is an exhaustive compilation of training splits, diet advice, diet examples, exercises, muscle areas, motivation, etc









I'm gonna read it and I know I will enjoy it. Even if only for the pics and the stories, I know this is a great purchase.

Granted quantities aren't specified in that typical diet plan, but still...Not that much food in a day for a guy that size.

I had a guy at my gym who would carry that book with him while he worked out. Strange fella.

Thanks for sharing, REPPED, Yates won in an era when Physique was the key factor, he stayed out of the public eye and along with Coleman has the most genuine wins not influenced by politics. In todays politically charged bodybuilding climate he would be lucky to make the top 3 despite still having the goods to win a current Olympia title.

Do you have a Shawn Ray book collection, have some respect for Yates, he was in every definition a true bodybuilder.

[BartPimpson]

Wow Dorian Yates followed IIFYM so hard guys.

[NaturalLoco]

Haha i actually didnt give a ****. Mum saw it in pieces in my drawer and did it for me, which is understandable because she paid for the f*cker.

i owned the book and loved it but like above, it falls apart very easy.

Was going to say the same thing, seems very low. Nothing is really calorie dense either.

Sure, man. Not at home atm but will post it tomorrow.

[Scaglietti]

I could listen to him and BPak talk training 24/7 .. incidentally I think DY is BPak's mentor. Basically everything Dorian has to say about lifting is so logical, things like how "American incline benches are too high of an angle" and hold and slow negatives on back movements... everyone could learn a lot, except for maybe Branch/JJ et al.

and what contest did they compete in together again? yeeeeeah no...

Nice, OP. I remember when I first became a fan of Dorian how much I wanted that book. I finally got a full copy of Blood and Guts five years ago; guess I need to seek out the book as well.
