How good were Dorian Yates Genetics?

[SSAlexSS]

Dorian Yates multiple Mr. Olympia winner trained like a monster, was he a monster?
Flex Wheeler is a genetic mutant who gets far without training at even a small fraction of Dorian Intensity, which brings me toi a question:


How good were dorian yates' genetics?

post a pic I really can't remember his build from back then...

 

[ultragainz]

his back was very good

 

[pgerardone]

I think structure wise he sucked. He trained hard, ate right, used a whole lot of drugs which his body reacted unusually well to. There are many pros and amatures with better structures then Dorion.

I agree the guy is huge but I think his Physic suck's shawn Ray looks a 100% better at the same weight class. Dorian has fucked up vascularity the veins in his bis squiggle like a crooked river. It kinda looks like varicose veins rather than good circulation.

Dorian Yates


Dorian has won 5 Mr. Olympia's in a row. He is the biggest of the professional bodybuilders and when beside him makes all other bodybuilders look small. His nickname is the 'Shadow'.

Dorian Andrew Mientjez Yates was born April 19, 1962 in England. Dorian was raised in Hurley, in rural Staffordshire. When he was a teenager, his family moved to Birmingham, Britain's second largest city. During these times, Dorian got himself into trouble, and was sentenced to six months at Whatton Youth Detention Centre. It was here that Dorian earned an instant reputation as the strongest and fittest of Whatton's 300 inmates. This gave him new respect for himself. Whatton was the wake up call for Dorian. If he did not do something, he would end up in and out of prison all of his life. Dorian resolved that he would not be back.

In January 1983, Dorian met his future wife Debbie Chin. Their son Lewis, was born in May 1984. Today, Dorian owns the Temple Gym in England. Currently lives in Walmley, Sutton Coldfield, England. He has two boxer dogs names Conan and Samson.

Dorian is divorced now and partying his ass off.

Joe Weider is a big part of Dorians success. You dont let your companies highest paid spokesman loose, especially if it's your show(the Olympia), Dorian was good but there were a few years that others were better. The Olympia needs to be a show not tied to a individual, Weider has alot to gain or loose by who wins, and it shows. Too many politics. JMO

Very Average...

There is picture of Dorian literally months before he started lifting in a book called "Blood In The Face" and he looks VERY average, almost skinny.

 

[LloydChristmas]

I can't believe that anyone would consider dorian's genetics average or below average! So what if he was skinny before he started training. Genetics don't only involve initial bone structure and muscle mass. They include how ones body adapts to training. There is no way a true hardgainer could get to 280lbs. Everyone responds different to different training regimens also. So what if Flex Wheeler doesn't train at the same intensity as Dorian. Maybe if he did it would do jack for him, and he might even lose weight. I am not saying it takes freak genetics to be a freak, but it definately takes above average genetics. Maybe your perception of average is messed up.
