In '94, a few weeks out from his third Mr. Olympia win, Dorian, in performing the exercise credited with building much of his unmatched back thickness, reverse grip bent over rows, discovered he had torn his left bicep. Still able to train over the remaining weeks before the show, the damage being more psychological than physical at that point, Dorian prevailed over Shawn Ray at that year's Olympia to take yet another crown.
Fast forward to 1997 and Dorian is training at his usual haunt, his popular Temple Gym in Birmingham England, this time performing the old-fashioned barbell pullover/press, an exercise responsible for adding more triceps and back mass than possibly any other. On the fourth rep the snap could be heard from the other side of the gym: Dorian had torn his left triceps.
