“Was Every Boy’s Crush Back Then!”: Bodybuilding Legend Who Pioneered Mass Monster Era Recalls Happy Memory of Meeting Blondie’s Lead Singer in 1990

If someone manages to attain a splendid physique once, it remains marked as a milestone in the history of bodybuilding. This sport expresses admiration for all the trophy-like bodies, just like any other form of art, and pays tribute to those who trained themselves to craft it. Dorian Yates holds the title of six-time Mr Olympia consecutively. Besides winning contests, he has left the world full of exemplary body statements from his peak career days.

The bodybuilding legend’s Pro-debut had called for a professional photo shoot. Yates talks about his encounter with a Blondie member that very night.

Dorian Yates’ meeting with Debbie Harry

In his recent Instagram post, Dorian brings back an old memory from the past. In 1990, shortly after his debut at Night of Champions, he was taken to the Better Bodies Gym in New York for a professional photography session. He wrote in the caption of the post, “Whilst I was at Better Bodies Gym, I actually met Debbie Harry from the rock band Blondie, who was every boys crush back then! So that was a great moment too!”

Debbie Harry, the lead vocalist of the famous rock band Blondie, surely had the charms to win millions of hearts. Dorian’s comment, “That was a great moment too!” raises quite a few eyebrows, allegedly keeping him on her fan list.

The year 1990 was a very crucial one in Yates’s life. He had worked extensively on himself to make his pro debut a success. The recorded photo from back then also attests to the same justification.

Dorian writes in the post that accompanies his 1990 photo from Better Bodies Gym: “And the crowd at the contest absolutely loved the unsmiling, foot stomping, granite-like Brit that had arrived on their shores, ready to make his mark on the international bodybuilding scene.”He declared how his well-formed body from then was the starting point of his professional career.

The six consecutive Mr. Olympia Title holder who started the Mass Monster Era, casts his mind back to his glorious past. His photos were from back then, still awestruck people. With his clasp on bodybuilding techniques and thorough training, Dorian Yates remains a legend.
