“OG Mass Monster”: 6x Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates Who “Rarely Indulged in Cheat Meals” Blows Up the Internet With His Massive Back Shot

The sport of bodybuilding has introduced some of the finest bodybuilders in history. Among them was Dorian Yates, a British fitness enthusiast who won 6 Mr. Olympia titles in his prime. His well-defined and muscular physique and attention to detail certainly gained Yates wide recognition. However, apart from being the muscle monster of his era, the legend was also very meticulous about his diet, leaving no stone unturned for getting the best results.

Recently, the IFBB pro took to his social media to talk about the confidence he used to have before representing himself on the stage. Sharing a glimpse from his initial days, Yates baffled his fans with a picture of his unmatched back.

Dorian Yates looked back confidently

On April 20, 2023, The Shadow posted a resurfaced image of him from his heydays. He derived the name as a reflection of how he would turn up in shows gloriously, and then disappear until the next one. However, as per his post, even at those times when Yates was not appearing on stage, he used to stick to his regime.

Nevertheless, he wrote, “That feeling of being on stage is unmatched. Thousands of eyes fixed on you, watching your every movement, perhaps in awe of your physique…”. The icon then went on to talk about how he felt before appearing on stage. “Pretty much every time I stepped on stage, I was supremely confident. I knew that I had put in the hard graft for both training and dieting down.”

Evidently, The Shadow created his fandom based on the dedication, hard work, and resilience that he put into his regime. In fact, he never “indulged in cheat meals” and ate clean. Although what fascinated his fans more was Yates’s self-dependence that comes from top-notch integrity.

Bodybuilding fans reacted to his picture

Seeing the bodybuilding legend recounting his yesteryears, fans put a step forward to pay reverence to him. One commented, “You were amazing in the 90s …Unbeaten in what was arguably the greatest group of ‘un-crowned’ Mr. Olympias of any era…”Another fan praised his mindset, “The Yates mindset…..always intriguing and motivating, even for things in life that have nothing to do with fitness. It can be applied…”

Reiterating the popular saying “shows can be won from the back”, one user penned, “You can always tell if they’re a worker from the muscles in the rear.” Praising his perseverance, another added, “Applied consistency” incarnated!”. Commenting on the otherworldliness of his physique, one follower wrote, “He Looks like a granite statue here.”
