So I do some dumbbell press.

Huberman Lab

Any compound movements for your lower body?

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

At this point, no, because my legs are really big.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

Like, because I didn't have any injuries on the lower body, I think I've maintained a lot more muscle mass here.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

So I do bike.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

I do some, what's it called, Bulgarian squats with light weights.

Huberman Lab

So I can do one side at a time.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

But like heavy leg presses and things like that, why?

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

Why would I do it?

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

It's because potentially risking an injury and, yeah, you can leg press a ton of weight, but you can't touch your toes.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

few years ago still at like 250 you know just on TRT and some training and I went for a checkup my blood pressure was a bit high and it just triggered something I mean like I've been eating still like a bodybuilder you know frequent meals chicken breast and rye I don't know it's just habit so I kept doing it I said I'm gonna go on a lower protein diet more plant-based and lose some weight right and

But which way am I going to lose?

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

I'm not fat, so I guess I'm going to lose muscle mass.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

But it was an interesting exercise in that I dedicated my whole life, earlier life, to building muscle mass.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

Now I'm actively trying to lose it for health reasons, but also I wanted to check my ego, you know?

Huberman Lab

I think everyone else was more concerned than me about eyes looking skinny now and everything.
