Training with Dorian Yates

On October 22, 2003, I had the opportunity to train with one of my bodybuilding idols, six-time Mr. Olympia and true bodybuilding icon, Mr. Dorian Yates.

I've read about a lot of bodybuilders, seen their videos and studied the way they train, but none has effected me more than Dorian Yates. Although I didn't immediately adopt his training style, I have always thought it made the most sense.

We met in the afternoon at a Gold's Gym in Las Vegas, NV for a chest and bicep training session I will never forget. I can honestly say that it was one of the greatest training sessions I've ever been through.
Dorian is an excellent coach and taught me a lot about intensity and "feeling" muscle contraction. As I mentioned, I've seen his video and read his books, but nothing can compare to one-on-one personal training. I am very eager to implement the strategies I've learned into both my own training and into my work with my clients.

Thank you, Dorian, for a great experience!
