Imagine him Time Traveling into 2021 Olympia with this Physique.. GAME OVER for everyone. He would make Everyone look 4 weeks out.

That front lat spread is legendary

The other guys doing their regular routines with their typical posing songs, and in walks this granite-hard machine posing to techno, stealing the show. What a game changing performance. I love it!

The most inspiring routine of all time, freaky mass but unlike other bodybuilders he looks scary, masculine and actually strong

For the boys who criticized Dorian about his comments on the new bodybuilders, here is the reason 😌

This guy didnt change. He was just as real back then as he is now.

Another reason Dorian is my favorite is because in one of the most ego driven professions on the planet Dorian never was driven by ego!! I believe that completely!!

Lat and calve development is beyond exemplary even by todays standards.

Flex admitted himself that as soon as he hit next to Dorian in stage he knew everyone was fighting for 2nd place, so that’s enough for me

Perfect music for the moment Dorian Yates showed the world something they've never seen before. Still outstanding today.

Best back ever. Hits last pop even from the front like no one’s business.

I love from the documentary when Chris cormier talked about dorians early career and how he could hear Leroy his training partner in the audience yellin “ EDUCATE THEM DORIAN!, EDUCATE THEM!!!” 😆😆😆😆

It’s insane how hard his muscles are at that volume. Never been duplicated

I'll never forget that I was in the fifth row center it's etched in my memory forever.

Yes, the physique is mind blowing. But give the man credit-that posing routine was equally impressive, artistic and exciting.

Would stilllll win this years..., Olympia!!!

His conditioning is crazy compared to today’s lineups. Loved Flex too

I just saw Olympia 22 results… Dorian can be proud to have achieved such a physic. 30 years after nothing is harder, drier, solid and strong looking!

This physique CHANGED EVERYTHING. History, future... EVERYTHING💪🏼✨🏆 long live The Shadow

The best back ever unbeatable.

Dorian (and everybody else) knew all too well that he was unbeatable that night

Flex viewed this as winning the Olympia. Look how happy he is to come 2nd to Dorian. He knew that Dorian was in a class by himself.

This was Dorian's best look. 1995 He was close to it, but the damage to his left biceps was still visible. It never really recovered its size and shape. He was an expert at hiding it, but none the less, in 1993 he didn't have to hide anything. Every Mr. Olympia's has a controversial win or two, but 1993 Dorian was unquestionable.

No one in history of bodybuilding beats Dorian from 1993.He looked like a walking granite.

Still the GOAT physique 93 Dorian. Will never see anything match it. He was just granite and stone that year

I don’t think anybody has ever achieved a harder look than Dorian Yates at the 93 MrO...the best...

Best version of him for sure. Arms on point. Looks fantastic from between knees and chest, despite a fairly large waist. He did a great job of prioritizing lower quad development and staying trim in the hips.

A real man. Does anything more need to be said?

1993 - the year of the quantum leap in bodybuilding. Never before and never after has one single person changed a sport that much.

He won the show the second he did that first front lat spread.

Only time being a mass monster was aesthetic

The total package. Nothing overpowering anything. And conditioning that is simply unmatched

I would say right there is the best of bodybuilding in human history

Best shape ever. Nobody could beat Yates at this time

The man is a genius, he boiled it all down to what really mattered, he analysed what worked and threw away what didn't, couple that with an iron will and that's the result. Massive, granite structure, and a work ethic I'd be proud to have 10% of. Never fails to inspire me before the gym.

thanks for the cameraman I missed all the important poses

Best calves of all time

Crazy improvements in just one year, man doubled his size, the goat no cap

NOBODY could out work, out train, out discipline more than Dorian. Very intelligent, efficient and his mindset alone created fear in most. As Kevin Levrone said 'it was all over, where did this guy come from!?'..long live The Shadow 🇬🇧💪🏼🏆👏🏼

One of the GOATs!!! He looks like he’s 2 percent body fat! That Conditioning is INSANE!

just imagine this with nowadays HD cameras….

People rightly mention his lats, but his calves are insane

This old video doesn't even begin to do him justice. You see it in person or in todays high pixel video and it would blow your mind.

4:34 Shawn Ray looking very relieved Flex didn't win before he could. Lol

A legendary shape for Dorian Yates. That physique has taken on a mythology of it's own at this point.

🌏 To date, and essentially in 1993, Dorian Yates has quite possibly been the most developed man in all of human history, the closest anyone has come to reaching his full potential in terms of muscular development.

2:24 epic ever. Greatness

First time the word (grainy)was used to describe his vascularity.

Dorian is the greatest bodybuilder ever hands down

Early Dorian had one of the greatest physiques EVER

This dude was an absolute monster. His legs and back are insane.

Top 5 most historical people the UK ever produced in any sport I'd say ! The one man I'd stand in a que to meet. The man's supplements are fantastic aswell really rate them

Bro that jawline , the gigachad here

There might be other bodybuilders who are bigger, maybe with smaller waists, better arms etc but nobody looked so rock hard as Dorian !

I personally think Dorian was one of the best routine posers. It was very thought out, precise and organized with no wasted motion.

I am so proud to be from Birmingham

Peak Dorian. Unbeatable, like Arnold, Lee and Ronnie were in their primes.

Those black and white photos of him in 1993 were scary.

I always assumed that this 93 Olympia was the start of the HGH era

The best back ever. Unbeatable. Greatness

3:40 that lat spread is crazy 💪

From 14- 19 years old- I weight trained 3 hours a day, talked to everyone, and messed around. I still worked out hard but by 20 years old I had to change my routine up and do something different Bc I plateaued. I got out my comfort zone and took on Dorian Yates style training. Going hard, heavy, high intensity, 40 seconds -1 minute rest periods and keeping good form like I always did and cutting down my weight training to 4 days a week. Changing up my diet as well. I was so used and comfortable working out 6-7days a week and staying in the gym for so long that it was def a huge shock to me when I cut my workouts down to 45 mins tops, and taking 40-50 second rest periods as well as going down to 4 days weight training a week instead of everyday. I put on more dense, solid mass than I ever did as well as crazy conditioning. And that’s not counting my cardio conditioning I did on my off/training days. My friends who stayed in the gym all day everyday couldn’t figure out why they weren’t gaining. Not to mention their diet was garbage. This is the reason why his style of training is the absolute best in terms of building serious mass and density. However, and I mean HOWEVER, this style of training was a why I don’t work out anymore. I tore my body down so fast and now i have very bad back problems along with tendinitis everywhere. Weight training was my life since 14 years old but i just couldn’t do it anymore by the time I was about 29, and I’m 34 now. This style of training along with a strict diet will get you the dense, solid mass. But it breaks your joints and tendons down fast. That’s why Dorian was getting so many injuries. I wish I could go back and change a lot of things but there was no doubt from 20-25 years old, I was in the best shape for f my life bc of Dorian and his style of training

Videos in this times is more clear than on 2022

Incredible, hard as a rock.

Who came here coz of Facebook DY training ? :) Always been a fan since 1992 ! The undefeated champ !!

I remember watching this on espn👍

My inspiration always DY

The Man who was the original MASS Monster and who introduced that Granite Hard look 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

1:54 those. triceps.

Dorian's legs are very underrated. Amazing and aesthetic. Don't see legs like that these days.

This is the highest quality version I've found of this ridiculous routine. With the extra definition, you can see he even has cross-striations in his lower traps/upper lats for god's sake

DY… best man.. not only on the stage.

Wish I could develop calves like that. One of the very best physiques we have ever seen.

Dry to the bone condition. Not seen since this level. Ronnie was shredded but not always dry

Holy conditioning. We have never seen anything like this since this man retired.

Dorian Yates once stated that he still was eating around 4,000 calories a day a couple of weeks out of the Olympia, and NEVER ate below 3,000 per day, I believe 3,000 was the minimum. This is why he was so conditioned. He was crisp but full due to having the right nutrients. He was a practical and logical bodybuilder, following science.

The GOAT IMO. Best conditioning ever and the 1st mass monster

The hate and envy for Dorian is real. He deserved all his shows and was the most dominant champion we’ve ever seen. Haney was battling with little midgets, Ronnie Coleman was battling bloated refrigerators. Yates fought the best, and destroyed them even in his off years the judges said he was too far ahead of the competetion. The greatest

There has never, before or since, been a 260lb human that shredded. Simple as that. Massive rib cage. Wide as a house. Ultra lean, ultra dry, ultra hard. Look at his neck, jaw forearms, calves. Muscle everywhere. And if he had stopped dieting two weeks earlier he would still have been the driest guy there but he would have been 270+. No one will ever convince me that anyone, including Ronnie, could have beaten him in 93.

Dorian Yates is arguably the most muscular and best conditioned bodybuilder in history and here he is, in his own words, outlining his limited HIT style of workouts. Anyone still advocating high volume training over HIT simply has a closed mind and refuses to look at the evidence.

When at the end of the 80's I could see in those old magazines four or five photographs of Dorian in national british competition ... ..... I could visualize that that all body granitic hardness could be two more steps in the evolution of the bb. A few years later it was shown that this became reality and history. Thanks for all inspirarion Mr. Dorian Yates. Thanks Champ!!

best fucking back ever!

That was such an awe inspiring routine, so polished and professional. You don’t see that these days…

Total freaky muscular & ripped, head to toe. I named my 2nd son Dorian after seeing him as a kid. Thought it was a cool name

Best body in Bodybuilding History 1993 DY

Imagine if this Dorian time travelled to backstage of 1975 mr.O. Arnold would’ve had a meltdown.

The shadow!!! 💪💪 the legend .! dense as a rock

Front lat spread is mental...

My Favorite Bodybuilder Of All Time Just Untouchable. What I Love About Him Is He’s All Business, Masculine, and he just has an crazy physique with never before seen conditioning Dude looks like a natural bodybuilder while not being natural Just Insane. Mr. Yates You Motivate Me So Much. Maybe One Day I’ll Be On That Stage.

I used to watch this routine so much that I wore out the tape on the video cassette. Dorian Yates, THE SHADOW, the GAME CHANGER! An UNHEARDOFF level of muscle at this time. Dorian was truly gobsmacking!

Back in the day, I thought Flex and Shawn looked like perfection next to other bodybuilders… Except Dorian. Dorian has inferior aesthetics, but the sheer mass, proportions and unprecedented conditioning ushered in a new era of scientific bodybuilding. Probably a dangerous life on the line way to prepare for competition but the judges couldn’t help but notice the impact and stir that his physique created.

This guy is the godfather of time under tension training,

My goat! My favorite physique of all time was prime Dorian!

Solid dude! Pounds of muscle! This is the year I was born also!

All things considered Dorian is the GOAT of bodybuilding!

Dorian was not only a great bodybuilder but also his mental state was very impressive.....his philosophy on life and ataining your goals is awesome.

Look at 2023 mr Olympia and Dorian 20 years earlier is such an abyss . the winnet today wouldn’t even rank in the first 5 places.

Granite. Those calves and lats are otherworldly.

My favorite showing of any bodybuilder ever.

An spectacular class about posing.
