“The Atmosphere Was Different”: 6X Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates’ Training Partner Reveals the Secret Behind His Phenomenal Growth in Just One Year

Dorian Yates is regarded as one of the best bodybuilders of all time. It is due to his nonconventional methods of training and his exceptionally aesthetic physique. He was christened with the name Mass Monster because of his muscularly crafted body and is still followed as an example by several young athletes.

The reason why no one can ever meet up to the ways of the legendary bodybuilder Dorian Yates is because of his utter dedication and determination in all of his workout regimes. His training partner, Paul Baxendale, recently revealed why and how his behavior stood out from the others.

Paul Baxendale points out the difference in Dorian Yates’ workouts 

Bodybuilding beast, Dorian Yates’ workout partner Paul Baxendale, recently revealed the secret behind his workouts. He took up his pictures from 1992 and 1993 Olympia to show the significant transformation. He particularly points out the massive difference that Yates brought about just in a year in his legs.

Baxendale wrote, “I know some will notice differences between what I describe and what you watch in Blood and Guts DVD. This post attempts to explain how the workouts differed and why.” He then went on to talk about how the post is not a comparison to say that he was better the next year because Yates began his training with the very reason of just improving it.

The training partner further added, “He had identified the extra injury potential with Smiths squats for him (due to a very specific reason) and so placed leg press in every week instead of, as we did, alternating weekly leg press with Smiths machine squats.”  Baxendale even added about how the atmosphere used to be entirely different back in those times.

Paul Baxendale talks about the spirit of the Temple Gym!

Paul Baxendale went on to talk about how things were entirely different 30 years ago when they were at their peak. He even talks about how the entire energy in the Temple Gym was palpable and what made it all the more special was watching Dorian Yates perform his workout religiously, being the most self-motivated man they had ever seen.

Baxendale wrote, “You could have touched the force as it resonated around us, through us and off of us. To stand behind Dorian as he did squats was to be a part of something mythical, so powerful that nothing need be said, although we always knew which words would generate an extra burst from within the beast.” What are your thoughts on Dorian Yates?
