I used this system for 20 years or so. Trained always with intensity. Had great gains. Adapted my training a bit now. Dorian was a great inspiration.

He is the best bodybuilder who ever lived. A big respect to you ..you inspired me to become a bodybuilder. I'm still training hard at the age of 58.😊👍

you are a legend Dorian!!!

He is truly a living legend.

I'm glad he's still putting videos out there

I just turned 60, never been to a gym for more than a few months at a time and I´m now doing 1 set load progression at the gym. I´m loving it and very quickly getting stronger.

Great stuff as always. Keep them coming, Doz!

Much Respect Brother. I always come away feeling better about myself after watching tour videos 🤙🏼

Another great video Dorian, thank you. Best wishes from England.

I have recently listened Mike Mentzer and his theory about high intensity training. Dorian Yates is also a great advocate of it. I am adjusting my training on those lines and enjoying it, won't go back to traditional bodybuilding approach ever again.

You will always be the best Dorian

Dorian is and always will be a legend. Legit changed my training because of these videos and I’ve been gaining a lot more muscle

Thank you Dorian! Another great and informative video mate! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for this effective advise and highly request to keep this advice continue.... Thanks,Sir

Thanks Dorian!

negative control and the top end squeeeeze!!! By God it hurts but it don`t half work , a pain so intense it makes you half cry half laugh at the end of a set!! thanks Dorian , you have no idea what an influence you have had on so many of us

There's no magic. If intensity comes up sufficiently, volume can (and should) go down. From Arnold at one end to Mentzer at the other, the data is there (for naturals too, but they're not so famous). But there's no free lunch either. It's not easy to go to total failure; you really have to push yourself. But - it _is_ easy to gauge progress. No worries about independently tracking sets and reps. You just warm up and then go all out. When you eventually get lots of reps, you can add weight and repeat. Simple.

Well...I started 5 Months ago lifting only 40kg. Now iam able to bench press 90kg. Thank you Mr.Yates for motivating me. Best of luck to you.

I started my weightlifting journey taking inspiration from Doran’s Blood and Guts KZfaq videos. Some valuable information there. Form is important.

I'm 61, been training off and on for 40 years, retired powerlifter and out off the gym (off and on) for the past 5 years due to a major work accident. My original background is running plus 8 years in the Armed forces; reccon special forces where I learned to push the body beyond its limits. Back then I was 145 lbs and no one could keep up with me. Flash forward; out off the military and then several years later got into powerlifting after bringing my body weight up to 160/165 lbs. I didn't take powerlifting as seriously as I should have, I was just having fun and pushing myself to see what I could do. 15 years later I brought my body weight up to 188 lbs for training then down to 182 lbs for my weight class in powerlifting. Back story: competed in PL in 92 and 93, then 14 years later, then 7 years later. My last two competitions were 2014 and 2016 (both were first place for my age and weight class). Flash forward; in 2017 I had a major work accident and dropped my body weight down to 1533 lbs plus one year away from work. Tried several times to get back into my powerlifting style of training but it wasn't adequate for me anymore. So for the past 8 months I was doing hi volume, lots of supersets with short rest periods and brought my weight back up to 180 lbs........I was loving my training but there was something missing, something to push myself even more; then I discovered HIT and been researching it for about a week and came across the Godfather of HIT Mr. Dorian Yates. Friday, two days ago, I did my first upper body HIT day. I'm still feeling the pump from two days ago. Today I did squats but found out I can't do high reps squats because my back is the limiting factor. from the accident; however, I can do heavy squats for reps of 3 or 5 no problem. Today I was supposed to do 175 lb squat for 6-8 reps but did 12 and could have done 15 but my back gave out. After watching lots of videos of Mr. Yates talking about HIT and taking people through different exercises I've decided I'll do heavy squats one Sunday (reps of 3-5 for sets of 3-5) and the the next Sunday will be HIT leg day (Leg extension, leg press, hack squat, leg curls and either RDL or SLDL). What do you think about this type of training: Friday will be HIT upper body. Sunday will be heavy squats for 3-5 reps pf 3-5 sets. Tuesday will be HIT upper body. Friday will be HIT upper body. Sunday will be HIT leg day. Tuesday will be HIT upper body. Then the two week cycle will repeat itself. After about 6 weeks of HIT I'll do 2-3 weeks of lighter weights then back to HIT training again. I haven't figured out which exercises or body parts I'll do on each upper day but after about a week I'll have it dialed in, hopefully.

Hey Dorian or those who control his page for him could you please make and upload some videos for training specific body parts like chest, bicep, tricep, back, shoulders etc I've been training for over 10 years now and I'm still learning every day and I'd love to incorporate some new methods mainly suggested and shown by the king himself! And a big shout out from sparky in Ireland love the vids bro 💪

To fulfil one's task, to do what is required to do. Intensity is the way.

That’s great advice

1:42, about control, i remember reading in a magazine back in the 90’s that one needs to move the weight , not the machine or equipment

Thanks, dad

I train 2/3 time per week to at least positive failure, I’m a natural, always get great results with HIT

Would be great to train with Dorian 💪

Make video about diet please. This will be so interesting .

I've seen your interview with Palumbo, you Sir are a LEGEND, sellout Arnold isn't fit to shine your shoes. THANK YOU

Awesome knowledge

Top notch firsthand knowledge.

I stopped working out for around months last year due to life circumstances (I moved from California to Spain into a TINY ass apartment, no space for nothing) and lost a lot of the extremely mediocre level of fitness I had achieved by mid 2022 after I had resumed working out in mid 2021. And read this book called Body by Science which advocates for single reps until failure, using time under load rather than number of reps, and short workouts. I got a gym membership here in Spain in January, been using this high intensity training method since then and my results have been much better than any previous time I have done resistance training before! However, I have really really weak hands and forearms with no stamina. I was born with disabled hands. This is making it hard for me to continue this approach for some muscles, mostly biceps, as I get stronger, because it is hard for me to hold and control anything larger than a 30 lb dumbbell in my hand (except for trap shrugs because I don't move it around). Does anyone here have any suggestions or ideas?

Thank You GOD for putting this Man on Our Planet! His Wisdom and Knowledge is Second to None! He always gonnna be a Hero to me! With his training methods I have progressed in 3 months more than Ever! And I am a 55 Young Guy who has tried countless of routines and workouts! At the Beginning it was very tough; but I feel stronger, healthier, and happier than Ever thanks to Dorian Yates Training Phylosophy!

Personally I like to mix it up abit. I use high intensity techniques a few times in my workout mainly on machines but for some exercises particularly when I am isolating muscle groups I like to focus more on the movement and when I am using free weights. Incline dumbbell press I like to focus on the stretch at the bottom of the workout then going as heavy as I can. Dorian Yates is my favourite bodybuilder tho. He’s total inspiration.

Thx Mr dorian ✌️

BEING A "BRUMMIE", MYSELF, IT ALWAYS FILLS ME WITH A BIT OF PRIDE THAT A MAN FROM THE SAME AREA BECAME MR. O' ... 6 times

Thanks sir..

I don’t get why a lot of people/body builders slag off HIT training. It’s all about intensity! Not volume

Great guy

Dorian is the best

I watch Dorians training vids for motivation but don't bring it to that level of failure on my sets since I'm just a regular guy. I usually stick to 8-12 reps of form failure for 1 working set and keep the weight controlled in the eccentric and throw in pause reps when needed. Greatest part is the time efficiency of HIT.

very nice

my questions answered,..

As a natural 40 years old bodybuilder I don't want to come even close to build a huge or monster physique. I just want to be normally big and stronger. So, would I be benefitted from this HIT or from Mentzer's Heavy Duty method without using drugs? I'm still confused about rest days and also training days, but I love Dorian and Mentzer for giving us all a different proven point of view.

You are the best

Dorian you are the man! Did you ever meet Casey Viator?

Great video. Hi Dorian I am 60 years old and a great fan of you. I have a very little experience of weight training. How I can get lessons from you please

The legend himself. ✌️✌️👏👏

Unfortunately, I don't have a training partner in gym. Instead of 1 working set with assistance from partner, can I replace that with drop set or rest pause technique?

How about explain what HIT is, how it can be done and give a couple of examples?

you are the best .:)

This is incredible... it's like God is talking directly to you

Hola subtítulos en español por favor muchas gracias

I want to go there sir, in our local gym there is shit atmosphere..

This guy... For the algorithm....

💚 birminghams finest

Great

When dorian said "when someone is training to change physical aperence then your a bodybuilder" definately proves gym and fitness manager when firing me said "you cant train everyone like a bodybuilder" thats bullshit yet they want me to train functional training crap nasm. Dorians point proves people like that wrong. I remeber i applied for this fitness facility in san jose, ca prinston plaza she said she didnt feel i was a good idea to hire me cause im a bodybuilder and she wants a functional trainer im like well i can learn from you those things and implemnt "no gut tells me i shouldnt sorry" im gonna start my own training bussiness with HIT and apply it to everyone

Wouldn’t HIT be “bad” for a natural lifter? Since you only hit a muscle group once per week and we know that protein synthesis lasts 24-48hrs in a natural lifter,whereas an enchanced lasts up to a week hence he gets more benefits from training once a week?

Being fro Europe like Dorian, I have been involved in Fotbally whole life, as well as kickboxing. When I say what Dorian did that when we "lift for sport" its also Bodybuilding, the reaction is denial and often anger.. no way, musclebound, slow.. not athletic.. when by training and Building muscle tissue its hard to say what else they are doing.. for ex Messi and Ronaldo have done "bodybuilding" simply because they have added muscle over the course of their careers as footballers.

Cade a legenda, ou a dublagem em português??

Why did he say soccer 😂😂 gave me a laugh since he's English

"High Intensity Training for Beginners" All Dorian said in this video is that HIT wont harm your joints.

Thumbs down by all the volume pumpers.

Maximum intensity = Maximum rest.

Hi, Do you still have the master's course in HIT? I'm interested thanks

Yates no doubt Was a great champion. But I’m still not convinced of the HIT method. I’ve been training for 41 years. Never used steroids. Tried endless different training Methods throughout the decades. And always got the best results from volume training. There’s only been one champion in bodybuilding using HIT method. And that’s Yates. All the great bodybuilders past and present have achieved great physiques through volume training. In fact if you do a little homework they’re studies out there that show that training volume is superior to HIT

SOCCER??!??!

Man I thought you were honest. The difference between bodybuilding and ordinary people at the gym, are the drugs and the juice. I have seen thousands of people doing more training than bodybuilders

Housewife

U dont have any joint issues because you love joints

I know old man Yates wants to make a buck, but this is a cheap knock-off of Heavy Duty by Mike Mentzer who was 10 times as articulate and did alot of the research himself compared to Yates.

DORIAN PELO AMOR DOS DEUSES DO OLIMPO,COLOQUE LEGENDAS EM PORTUGUÊS,EU SOU SEU ETERNO FÃ!!!!!💪👈😎

Thanks Dorian!

He is truly a living legend.
