Dorian Yates
Mr. Olympia Workout Routine

Dorian Yates workout routine. Intense weight training routine using High Intensity Training (HIT strength training) for forced hypertrophy.

Key points about the Dorian Yates workout program:

  • Dorian trained for 45 minutes each workout.

  • He typically uses 3 exercises per body part...The first 2 sets are close to failure, while the last set is an all out demanding attempt to force the weight up... You may want to use a training partner for this training style.

  • The rests are short between sets. When training with a partner, your rests last as long as it will take for your partner to execute their set.
