In a recent video uploaded by the MuscleMindMedia YouTube channel, Dorian openly criticized the volume training method which is often pursued by aspiring bodybuilders for results. According to Yates, instead of focusing on lifting heavy weights and doing many repetitions of exercises, one should follow the routine of targeted training, which promotes muscle growth from top to bottom.

He said, “Lets talk logically if volume was the key factor in stimulating muscle growth wouldn’t we continually increase our amount of exercise so as a pro bodybuilding i should have been training 10 hours a day? And trust me if it that’s what it took i would have trained 10 hours a day and eaten dog shit between sets.”

He wrote a caption expressing his genetics, The one question that I still get asked is, ‘How did you build your back?! I had good genetics, especially my back as my mum’s lats were wide since she rode horses and worked on a farm, so her back was always strong. ” “My choice of exercises were basic… because they work!” he said further.
