“If You Gonna Criticize Me, F*** Off”: 61-Year-Old Bodybuilding Legend Smirks Proudly as He Leaves No Scope to Question His 40 Years of Experience

Bodybuilding is a sport where a single mistake can ruin the course of a bodybuilder’s career forever. If not taken seriously, wrong workout techniques might backfire. Training needs precision, of course, but evidently, the right guidance still tops the list. The six consecutive Mr. Olympia title holder, Dorian Yates, is reported to comment on his experience that shall not be discredited easily.

Yates took Mike Thurston through an intensive workout session a few weeks ago, mainly focusing on Dumbbell shrugs, and shoulders, triceps, and traps training. Additionally, he has posted a short clip from the session where he explicitly casts light on his unmatched experience.

Dorian Yates silences Instagram critics with 40 years of unparalleled experience in the fitness industry

In his latest Instagram post, Yates – as can be seen – begins the video by saying, “A lot of experts on IG telling us we’re doing it wrong. We are not following a book”. He proceeds to comment sarcastically on such criticism with much confidence. He instantly signifies how long he had been going to the gym. Dorian further highlights that he doesn’t require a book because his experience ceases all its needs.

Dorian Yates is undoubtedly one of the fittest 61-year-old in the industry. He does have authenticated evidence of his training routine being one of the best in the world. As a matter of fact, it has won him the prestigious Mr Olympia title 6 times. When he sees some Instagram gurus critiquing his methods, he deliberately rubs his “40 years experience” on their faces.

“If you gonna criticize me, f*** off” Dorian boldly comments and proceeds to show that he knows what he is doing. Yates’ experience, he proves, would speak for itself as he ventures to take the Dumbbells in his hands and quite candidly shows off his skills at the age of 61. He portrays the experience that he gained over the course of 40 years as something that weighs over the Instagram critic’s judgments.

Yates educates Instagram experts on proper dumbbell shrug technique and an unshaken legacy

Dorian Yates especially takes the initiative to show Mike and their fellow Instagram experts how the Dumbbell Shrug is done. He humorously explains how the arms don’t need to be rigid to do the Dumbbell shrug. Instead, he suggests, “let the arms bend if you want”. Thus, correcting a lot of misconceptions regarding rigid arms during this workout technique. He further writes in his captions, “Lean slightly forward too rather than standing straight.” He previously cast light upon how he has seen in his experience many athletes focus on “too much, too often, and too long,” instead of knowing what they are doing. In the same vein, he comes forward to teach them the right way, depending on his expertise.

Dorian comes from the “pre-internet” era, and for him to tolerate Instagram criticism is quite intolerable. His expertise and skill go beyond the recently published books or the newly budding critics who haven’t achieved the slightest of what Yates had accomplished long ago. The bodybuilding legend’s methodology thus remains untouched, and he further jeers at the critics who attempted to shade his techniques.
