Dorian Yates

Dorian Yates is a man synonymous with bodybuilding, and one that has shown that being smart goes hand in hand with the sport.

Admitting himself as a troublemaker raised in Birmingham, England, Dorian Yates did not start bodybuilding until age 20. "When I started bodybuilding, I realized this was for me," said Yates. "I read what I could about training, nutrition, and anything else that would help me succeed as a bodybuilder. Once I found the things that interested me, I'd give them a try in the gym."

Even early in his career, he has paid very close attention to which routine has worked best for him, not only what the others told him he had to do. "Through a lot of trial and error, I found the system of training and diet that worked for me," said Yates.

Yates has a lot of advice for young, novice bodybuilder, well, something that has made many come to admire the man even more. "Training is not only heavy weights. E 'in the form of a real clean, full involvement of mind, and taking your muscles to the point of failure."

There are certainly a lot of people who are into bodybuilding so they can look good on the beach and appeal more to the opposite sex. I admit, this is one reason - probably the main reason - I started lifting weights myself!

But not Dorian. "I never turned in a vest and has never wanted people to notice me and love me never built my body for that reason. I did it for me."

Bodybuilding is really a sport! ......
