Heavy Duty is the only way to train.
Especially if you want to get injured.

Yates him self has said u should only train HIT all out for 5-6 weeks and then back up and lighten the weights for 2 weeks to get a break from it. Ur not supposed to keep going balls to the wall indefinitely. Just like Doggcrapp.
All of Yates'injuries came during the last 2 months before contests because he didn't back off the intensity, by his own admission, like he should have during that phase. It has nothing to do with training HIT per say.
I think HIT does have it's place but as Rep mentioned,,,if you train like that all the time,,,,I know I would end up injured. I use it for periods when I'm really strapped for time and I often dont stay on a HIT routine for more than 10 weeks.
What 2 muscles are those that run down the middle of his back as he is first walking out on stage? Absolutely unreal, looks like two huge camel humps sticking out of his back.

:yeahthat:
Yates didn't compete in 98. That was Ronnies first win.
My bad. That same pic of Nasser was on a site with '97 shots. I also remember a lot of people saying Nasser beat Dorian. I stand corrected.
Guys I know cycle training methods. Sometimes weekly
High level bodybuilding brings risk.....years and years of heavy weights....
Our last 3 massive Mr Olympia's went to the well and back with training and they all trained differently and they all tore muscles.
Yates tore his bicep with a undergrip row of about 365 pounds in his prep in which he admitted he should have not been going so heavy during prep
Yates tore his tricep on pullover and presses going heavy again during prep
Coleman tore his lat and his quad once early on and again the same quad later...and maybe his tricep (that's still up to discussion whether he has a slight tear on it or its all nerve damage)
Cutler tore his bicep and now tore the other bicep
Whats common in all these guys? They were the big dogs on the block during their reign...everyone was trying to catch up to them....so I guess heavy weights count for something....overall size with heavy weights for reps which resulted in multi Olympias .....and the risk is there in doing so.
It should be very interesting to see if Phil Heath has more longevity and avoids these injuries/tears due to the fact that it's well known he doesn't train insanely heavy. Age catches up with them/us all, but perhaps major injuries won't find Heath as they did his predecessors..?
I feel like Phil is stronger than he gets credit for…I'm with you that his training just look "safe" compared to these guys, but he is a strong SOB.
