Dorian Yates Training

I always trained high volume, now I doing my version of the dogcrapp training method after reading this board, I like the idea of more growth cycles throughout the year. So its shorter, more intense training for me. Dorian's method seems to be short, intense, workouts once a week or so. We'll see!

I like yates style training. it does have place in training.

yates was ahead of his time.he believed in how the human body worked not the human mouth.he didnt just listen and follow blindly to others he took in what he thought was relevant and applied it to the phyisology(sp) of the human body.the body can only sustain so much training then you suffer too much recovery time.when i first started in bodybuilding it was do chest and back 3 times a week(yeah that worked real well)but it was what i read in the mags so i did it.when i first learned about mentzer and his training i told all my friends that i was going to train each body part just once a week.they wouldnt or couldnt believe it would work.now im telling them to train each body part once every 2 weeks and they look at me like im crazy but im still growing and they arent.i have changed my training again which im not even going to bother trying to explain to my friends.......my training is very quick and intense and then im done,and go home and eat and rest.its a close version of dogcrapp.i read all his writings.it all makes sense.and it works!

its not a bad bodybuilding program if you are on a fair amount of drugs.

not good for naturals.

one thing is for sure. its certainly not based on physiology and how the human body works.
Its based on philosophy and common sense. Mike Mentzer loved to tie this stuff into his programs. Ayan Rand was his favorite
as he often recomended you read her philosophical texts while reading his books on strength training.

 

[bgmke7]

im a little confused as to how philosophy has anything to do with bodybuilding......please explain.

 

[bgmke7]

also some of doggcrapp's clients are and have been all natural so how wouldnt it be good for naturals too?

 

[Conan21]

so am i bro

I'm just saying how Mike devised his training logic.
he read Phiosophy heavily. sales philosophy books (water spout and i forget the other one) on his site.
and sites Ayan Rand quotes and ideas to explain his training. go figure.

he never sited any physiology,kinesiology, human kinetics, or Soviet texts. he seemed to think
they were all "wrong"

but he did love Ayan Rand.
