Description

Dorian Yates is a legendary English bodybuilder and 6x former Mr. Olympia who revolutionised the sport by being the first of the so-called “mass monsters.” His “high intensity” philosophy involved pushing each set to failure through techniques like forced reps, drop sets and partial reps. This allowed him to maximise muscle stimulation in shorter, more intense workouts. After retiring from competitive bodybuilding, Yates has transferred his knowledge into DY Nutrition, which offers a line of premium and science-backed products to help people achieve their health goals. Tune in for the next two hours as we explore all things bodybuilding, mindset, spirituality and more.00:00 Mike’s experience training with Dorian04:44 Key lessons from bodybuilding legends & the impact of a training partner08:14 The #1 thing that could be ruining your workout11:02 Why strength training is essential for longevity & quality of life13:20 Dorian’s injuries: “my career is over” – how he bounced back19:10 What Dorian would change about his bodybuilding career if he could go back in time22:12 The origins of bodybuilding coaches25:00 Using “F*ck you energy” for gym motivation29:00 How Dorian overcame depression & found new purpose once exiting bodybuilding35:41 Identity & spiritual journeys for self discovery43:52 Cannabis: common misconceptions & health benefits48:22 The dangers of alcohol56:22 Medicinal mushrooms & ayahuasca57:22 DY Nutrition & supplements1:03:42 Bloodwork & deficiencies1:06:55 Dorian’s favourite thought leaders on health1:11:45 TRT & steroids1:14:38 Low testosterone: the new epidemic1:18:11 Natural bodybuilding & false expectations1:20:35 At what age do men peak?
