Dorian Yates HIT Training: dorianyates-hit.com

The best thing that I learned out of necessity because of injuries and decades of heavy lifting...was that I didn't have to lift those extremely heavy weights to keep my muscle size. As long as I worked the muscle to failure or near failure, I got the same results. With even half the weight and very high repititions.

Nothing better than too see dorian talking

My favourite bodybuilder of all time.. I completely admire him and his personality..much respect..

The King has spoken!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯

Thanks for this sound advice, appreciated.

this is so true and this type of training is so underrated and nowadays you can say unheard of very uncommon but its so effective

Love these videos! I’m following Dorian’s first two years program outlined in his old book “A Warriors Story”. That book was hard to find but awesome! I’d really like to hear him describe a scaled back workout. This is the first time I’ve heard him say this, and it explains why I haven’t been making progress

we seem to overcomplicate things where its not neccessary - keeping it simple is very beneficial

DY been dropping gems. Thanks🙏

more videos please your the only one i trust for advice

The main key of training is the active recovery part that most ppl never learn. When ur body peaks out about 6 weeks like DY points out ppl do not back off u can not do stones to the wall 365 days a year it is usually 3 steps forward n 1 or 2 steps backwards for a while. Btw DY u have a gift of describing what ppl.think r complex u make it as simple as possible n i thank you sir..

Short but with valid content . Very nice. You've got a new sub. Stay strong

Thank you so so much. Was one of the best piece of advice ever on the internet in regard to fitness and body building. Like the face there were no BS, just good old school advice.

Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates are the best! Glad to hear realistic advice!

The King of simplicity.

I started watching and following this man when I was 12 yrs old. I knew I loved bodybuilding. I have a lot of respect for you Brother. One of the best of all time. You’re definitely one dude I wish I could meet. Much respect Brother

Well said! I have noticed the way of performing the same exercises, especially those that work, is what can make progress, and getting results. Dorian Yates is one of the best bodybuilders; and a proponent who made a logical, and practical system of training that actually works possible! HIT is based on Arthur Jones, then Mike Mentzer's application of Jone's theories; then Casey Viator, and Dorian Yates became accomplished by those methods. More concentrated, intense training builds up muscular mass; by performing up to 2 to 5 work sets for a bodypart, not the 25 to 50 sets advocated up to today.

Thanks Champ! No nonsense, outstanding and extremely VALUABLE advice from the Master Olympian and not a 47 minute explanation, THANK U! The Heavens have finally opened for me....

Words of great wisdom. Dorian’s analytical approach and bodybuilding rationale is definitely number one among all the Pros who’ve ever lived, in my estimation. Frankly, I haven’t heard much of any sense spoken from other big names. I swear a lot of them don’t really know how they got there! Even some of really BIG names used illogical and hazardous methods, which I notice they’re still advocating. It’s disappointing that many of these champs haven’t seemed to learn a whole lot despite decades of “experience”.

Thanks for the honesty

So good to hear a legend saying this. As I'm sick of telling people this is the case

Man I learned from this. I thought I was lame for sticking with my same ones I learned in my teens. Pretty big my whole life so makes sense. Lifting with Extreme focus and intention are what I found make me grow, gain and maintain. I need to work on my intensity and recovery time I see.

This was all 100% solid advice

Dorian, thank you! And please make more videos. Greetings from Bulgaria

Exactly. There is a finite amount of bodybuilding exercises. And every routine ever is just variations of the same movements

I like this short advice videos!! Make more of this!!

Dorian speaks so much sense it's unreal, so knowledgeable.

Clear advice,thank you Mr Dorian,you're a Guru

I'm from Birmingham and I walked into Yates Gym in temple row when I was in my 20s and saw Dorian and was blown away at his actual size, he was a monster!!! Me being a skinny guy walked straight out because I thought I didn't belong next to these greats, biggest mistake.. You're a legend sir! 😊

Love these type of videos

Brilliant man!!

'' as i got bigger and stronger i needed much recovery time " this chocked me !

I trained my entire adult life (I'm 55) and I know now how much I've over-trained over the years. So sad I didn't really discover HIT training until now but glad I finally did.

Training should revolve around your weaknesses. If upper chest is lacking make it the focus. Not every session but every training cycle assess your physique, create new goals or continue your current if necessary, adjust training as necessary.

Thank you! Much appreciated. Great Advice. Legend.

Don't change the routine but the intensity....thank u sir!

DY is my favorite bodybuilder, because he combines an intelligent approach with an intense work ethic. I was blessed to be able to meet him in 1994 (mere weeks before his unfortunate biceps tear), and I’ve incorporated his philosophies about weight training ever since, from even before before this. However, I’ve found a way around the, “active rest period”. I keep the exercises the same and in the same order, and, the last set of every exercise is taken to at least no reps left in reserve (I don’t go to failure on exercises where the risk outweighs the reward, such as deadlifts), however, I rotate through 3 rep ranges. The first time I do I workout, I shoot for high reps (16-18), using Blood Flow Restriction Bands. This creates a great deal of metabolic stress, going to failure with a lighter than possible weight if the bands are not used. This gives the tendons, ligaments, and cartilage a break, while still stimulating muscular gains. The second time I hit the workout, it’s medium reps (10-12) where the last set is a double drop set, shooting to exceed 8, 2, and 2 reps, respectively, on the exercises that it is safe to do so. This is a great hypertrophy stimulator. The third time I hit the workout, it’s low reps (4-6) and the exercises where you are stronger in the peak contracted position than in the lowest position (such as deadlifts, squats, bench press, overhead press) chains are utilized, to provide accommodating resistance. This really drives brute strength development, which in turn, will allow you to hoist more weight in the more hypertrophic rep ranges. With this system, you are comparing numbers for a workout to 3 times ago, not the last time. And with this method, you can typically increase your workout output by 1.5-2.5%, per overall workout, compared to the last time you hit it for the same rep range, and keep this up for years. I’m 53, and I’m still inching forward, regularly. Thank you, Dorian Yates, for inspiring me to put my brains to work to help my brawn increase.

Solid bloke! Inside & out! ✊🏻

Without doubt the most knowledgeable guy in the business and dispels many of the common myths !

The Master Speaks! Always boils down to fundamentals

Thank you DY. 🙏👍

Hello Dorian - reasonable advice presented in an easily understandable way, thank you. I hope you could present a video on the proper frequency of muscle group training (e.g. is once a week frequency mainly / only justifiable for trainees with the strength and size of a competitive bodybuilder, or is it also proper for intermediates?) and rules of combining muscle groups into one workout (e.g. is it generally better to combine agonists like all pulling muscle or all pushing ones into one workout, or is it more efficient to combine antagonists like chest + back or biceps + triceps into the same session?). Greetings from Poland

I do all the same movements and lifts but usually in a different order on almost every workout, mostly because the same benches and machines aren’t always available right when I want them at a public gym

THANK YOU SIR❤️🐐🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Explained very well

That's given me peace of mind because I was worried over varying my workout ie changing the exercises and was thinking of how many different ones there is for certain muscles or muscle groups and its mind boggling so by hearing from the legend Dorian Yates that you don't need to change the exercises has put my mind at ease. Great content as always on this channel! 💪💪

Brilliant!

there will never be another 'gentleman of the gym' as Dorian. World No.1 but still a real nice guy.

Thank for your honesty. I’m nearly 60 gone back to the gym to build muscle strength etc which is important as you get older. I hear all the time about changing routines on KZfaq etc. I agree with Dorian I found over time my exercises work for me without injury. I find the trick is know ur body don’t worry about keeping up with huge guy next to you just give 100% of which you can.

My all time TOP 1!!!❤

Very Good man with sound advice!!

Probably one of the 20 best-qualified people on the planet to speak on this topic.

Wonderful. Thanks for sharing great video

Great advice 👍🏻

I agree with Dorian.

Thank you Champ for taking the time to like my comment. You are the best ever!!! Where/when is DY Supp's sold in US? Want to try ASAP.

Damn,I live this man

Such good advice cheers

At 63 now and over 50 years I am still always trying to perfect my training... I over trained for well over 45 years for sure... I just grew up with the no pain no gain mentality...

I love this guy

Keeping it Simple and Basic always works....

Absolutely right Thanks a lot Great champion 👍

Absolutely, Champ!

Legend.

I've been doing HIT for approximately 6 weeks and this answers my question. I'm actually already taking this week off training because I needed a break. New subscriber also. 👍

I hesitated from taking a week off due to an injured right elbow, plus am worried I’ll lose muscle. Was gonna try to work my way through it, but if Dorian says its okay to take a week, then so be it. Actually looking forward to having a week off, it’s just going to be absolute hell when I start back up again. Thanks D... 💪💪💪

DY is one of the 4 best all times bb!!!!!

So glad I’ve come across your videos Dorian. To cut straight to the point, I now realise I had it nailed on as a teenager by pure luck and wasted my 20s gym wise listening to all the crap from the so called experts which turned me into an average Joe (think you know the kind of experts I mean 🤣) top man, great teacher and the perfect blend of confidence, honesty and modesty even after your impeccable career in bodybuilding.

Great advice!

DORIAN THEE DOMINATOR SPEAKS.....I LISTEN !!!!!

Excellent advice.

He has spoken!! He has spoken.

Well said young man.

Great Advice!

There is definitely a sweet spot of waiting time. Too early you're not peak 100% again yet, but wait too long it the strength wimps away. Legit like a day or two window makes difference

Great guy 👍👍👍

I could not agree more.

Thanks to dorian for motivating us for training love from India

Helpful

good advice!

dorian the realist out there.

HIT training is hands down the most effective way to grow. I put on 30 pounds in 2 months!

Absolutely correct 👍🏻

Nice knowledgeable video

I am OCD with me training I do an AB split. So One week A B A next B A B so am working each body part twice over 9 days. Work 2 jobs armed security part time and run a decorating business as well. Sometimes o can’t make it to my local gym which has more equipment. I go to the barracks gym which has only free weights. So sometimes have to make do. What I’ve noticed is tho when I go back to my local gym if I havnt been consistent I tend halt in my progress. Don’t add weights or reps in that workout. This tells me consistency is the key and you should try and stick to the same workouts and progress in the ones which work your muscles the most.

Salut M Yates ,vous etes pour moi le meilleur !! Je vous suis depuis vos 1ere annees competitions!! Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de traduction en francais pour vous comprendre !! 💪💪

Dorian is the bread and butter of bodybuilding

I’m 53 and partially paralysed from the waist down caused by many years of lifting too heavy both at work and in the gym yet still struggle when it comes to not overtraining the muscles i can work overtraining is a mindset that is so difficult to break

Big Man On Campus himself. He's looking great.

I think people are looking for new and exciting a quick fix , but the same stuff that work for them works for everyone. Train hard stick to the basics and be consistent

I used to read back then about Dorian's advice and I was wandering if this is really Dorian's advice or just something written in a publication. Now we can see him in person (well, in a video).

Well said

Active recovery, first time I heard... loved it

The legend

BEAST MODEEE

Gotta agree with what’s being said 💁‍♂️

Thank U ! sir

thank you, finally i got the answer...i was 100% sure that doing same workout it works...people asked me why u do the same and the same everytime, and i told them because it works :D

good advice
