Here Is Golden Advice From 6x Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates if You Are Lagging Behind Due to a Weak Body Part: “Answer Is Not to Train It More Frequently”

In the fitness industry, it is taken for granted that an athlete or fitness enthusiasts have their weak points which they put much emphasis on. However, from the dawn of bodybuilding, every bodybuilder had a distinct way of dealing with such a lack of precision in certain body parts. Reflecting on the topic, Dorian Yates recently gave his thoroughly insightful tips regarding the improvement of such weak points.

It is not easy to maintain a streak of 6 Mr. Olympia titles back to back. Yet the English bodybuilder, Dorian Yates, made it possible from 1992 to 1997. Hence, his expertise in the field cannot be questioned. His social media handle is filled with guidance and tips’ contents, and he proceeds to give yet another crucial information.

Dorian Yates’ guidance to improve on weak points

The latest video shared by @dynutrition, Dorian Yates talked about how to build one’s weaker body parts. Although what seemed the obvious option, Yates made sure to get rid of that very idea first. He corrected his fans by saying, “The answer is not to train it more frequently or do more exercises or more sets or more reps.” Instead, the bodybuilding beast suggested doing it with more focus and giving it a first priority in any fitness regime.

Moreover, the bodybuilder also stressed on the fact that a slow and steady motion is more helpful than pure hard work without a proper technique. He stated, “A slow and controlled motion, with emphasis on the negative in particular and a squeeze on the static. Go to failure and then, beyond. Use techniques such as extra negatives, assisted and forced reps too.”

Yates has always given his mindful guidance to young amateur bodybuilders who aspire to do something in the industry. Thus, he also talked about how ego might not be a good element in one’s personality to prosper in the sport.

Get rid of ego: Dorian Yates

Yates once revealed in one of his Instagram posts how he liked to lift heavy weights. Yet, he always had the intention of keeping his body tight and precise. Hence, he made it clear to his audience that no matter what one might do to make their heavy lifts look magnificent, if that does not help in shaping their body or growing their muscles, it becomes pointless. He further mentioned, “I’ve said it many times, leave your ego at the door! Work the muscle, not your ego.”
