Dorian Yates

Dorian Yates is a man synonymous with bodybuilding, and one who proved that being intelligent goes hand in hand with the sport.Admitting himself as a troublemaker growing up in Birmingham, England, Dorian Yates didn't begin bodybuilding until the age of 20. "When I first began bodybuilding, I immediately knew it was for me," Yates has said. "I read as much as 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 paid very close attention to which routines worked best for him, not just what other people told him he should be doing. "Through a lot of trial and error, I found the training system and diet that worked for me," Yates said.Yates has a lot of advice for young, beginning bodybuilders, too; something that has made many come to admire the man even more. "Training is not just about heavy weights. It's also about really clean form, full mental involvement, and taking the muscles to the point of failure."There are certainly a lot of people who get into bodybuilding so they can look good on the beach and appeal more to the opposite sex. I'll admit, that's one of the reasons - probably the main reason - I started lifting weights myself!But not Dorian. "I never walked around in a tank top and never wanted people to notice me or adore me. I didn't ever build my body for that reason; I did it for myself."Bodybuilding truly is a sport!
