Dorian Yates

There's incredible things that you can do for your health and you won't be needing to rely on medications to control your blood sugar and your blood pressure and whatever else.

Your body can do it itself, you know?

Those are his words.

Yeah, it was a breakthrough level for the sport, you know?

people say, before Dorian and after Dorian, the sport changed.

And my approach was unique as well.

And Joe Weider, you know he has his way of doing things, right?

He was a brilliant marketer, you know?

Joe Weider, trainer of champions.

He didn't know nothing about training, but he knew about marketing.

Here's the thing, right?

1992, Mr. Olympia, and then 93.

So people think that between...

92 and 93 on stage, 17 pounds of muscle.

I put it on in one year.

It's not really true.

In 92, six weeks out from the Mr. Olympia, I was probably five pounds, six pounds less than the next year.

But I knew Lee Haney wasn't going to be there.

I knew that the guys I was competing against were smaller than me.

So I said, I don't mind sacrificing some size to get like super shredded, like as shredded as the smaller guy, right?
