Dorian's Advice - How to train your weaker body parts 

Dorian's arms were huge, however his lats and deltoids were so enormous they gave off the illusion that his arms were normal. Phenomenal.

When Dorian tells us something, we gotta do it. Legend!

I could listen to Dorian talk all day! He doesn't try to make training something it isn't, like a lot of social media trainers do! Training isn't rocket science, and people try to make it into something scientific. Dorians approach speaks for itself, 6 straight Mr Olympia titles, enough said!

He’s videos should never have thumbs down. In my eyes he’s the smartest bodybuilder of all times, also very good teacher and knows how to explain proper and simple.

Dorian the type of legend that Does not want us here but somewhere in a dungeon working out

1:46 thank you for that. Finally someone who is not recommending more frequency/volume to bring up lagging body parts. I agree, to grow a stubborn muscle one needs better and harder training, not more of the same stuff which isn’t working in the first place.

Dorian is a terrific example of one who's been there at the sharp end and talks absolutely straight. John McEnroe, Mark Webber etc. Many thanks DY.

Have a blessed weekend to the shadow , living legend 6x Mr O and his all family ❤️❤️❤️

Since training my biceps much more technically sound and down to the tee with more unique targeting on ALL my bicep heads, that helped a lot to beat my bi weakness. Forearms are still a weakness of mine, but I've been noticing that multiple drop sets in a single exercise have wrecked them hard and are making them grow more now than before when I was just doing wrist curls.

I wish this legend has a weekly podcast that he can speak to us for hours.. No just about bodybuilding but every endeavor in life.

Being a fan since the 90s, in 2024, Dorian is top one of the most inspiring. His legacy is accomplished. I'm forever great for bros like you. Thanks big man

Key message. Stronger bodyparts - (only to failier) weaker parts - go beyond with extra negatives. So basicly train like a beast every god damn workout. Leave your phone in the bag. On flight mode!! 💪

I like to train something I'm prioritizing first day of the week. Also the mind-muscle connection and going slow enough (perhaps with a pause) to make it a muscle contraction exercise and not a tendon elasticity exercise is important. Personally I never found barbell bench press to be a great pec exercise, yet dumbbell flyes with a nice pause and stretch are great for me.

Love the more focus and intensity training vs more frequently

When dorian talks you listen 💪🏋‍♂️

Thats true. I started to train calves and biceps early in my training days and I have made some improvements. Focus is everything. Let the phone in the the locker room. Do not talk between sets and focus on squeeze the muscles. This is it, and patience of course plis quality nutrition

Thanks for posting, Dorian has a great deal of clearly-delivered wisdom.

I am always very grateful when you give really good information. please continue. Best regards

We love Dorian, please keep the videos coming 🙏

Just done today Your Legs day from blood and guts now my calves can't walk 😅😅 but feels great that I gave everything I got 💪

Very grateful Dorian. My hero 👍👍

Thank you.

Thanks for the advice Dorian you are a legend 🎉

so true, this works really for me as a natty

New subscriber. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge 💪🏼

Great tip

Thank u, i have thinking of this topic litterly all Day long after my session today

Awosome Thanks coach

I think in some separate video, Dorian mentioned he doesn't prefer barbell bench presses all that much for chest.

Great information

My weakness is my lats and biceps. I’m doing his blood and guts program but using my own exercises that suit me. I am happy with everything but my back. I’m keeping a log and progressing however the heavier I go on back the more I am feeling it in my arms and although I am going through the range of motion, pausing at the contraction and slowing down the negative using a full stretch and correct form, I feel the contraction but I remember when I did high volume on my last before I started blood and guts k used to get a burn which is something I don’t really feel when training back. I could drop the weight and do more reps but that defeats the point of HIT so. It’s abit of a pain. Everything else tho I am enjoying.

Difference between wisdom and knowledge

Great video thank you

Hi Dorian I've actually met you in person at your gym in Temple Street in Brum a few years back, before your Olympia wins. I'm an old 63 yo man living north of Brum, Wednesbury. I can only go to the gym on Mon, Tues, and Wedn, so i split my workout 3 ways. In these 3 sessions, effectively giving a week rest between each body's part work outs, i'm inadvertently implementing Mike Mentzers's training principle of getting enough rest between work outs. I'm getting still at my age great results. I, like yourself have weaker biceps and chest compared to my other body parts, though. I have good back, lats and calves. What do you suggest to bring those lagging body parts at a par with the rest of my physique? Cheers my mate, you're still a legend. Regards Sergio Uk

Looking well Dorian!!

The shadow castle vales best Birmingham finest UKs number 1 Dorian if u read this u are a truly gifted individual u are the reason I train loads massive shout out to the original temple gym the dungeon love from austin representing Birmingham

You're a legend 🔥🔥

Words of wisdom

Thanks sir

The only thing that worked for my upper chest was light weight standing dumbell pec squeeze (similar to supinated dumbell front raise but slightly across the body and targeting upper pecs)till failure and little rest between the sets. I tried to engorge the muscle with blood to pump it hard enough and it worked.

100% true

With more volume.

I have started to focus on one exercice (compound lifts). And then two easier exercises, its amazing doing it 2-3 days in a row. I have found that when yoy build up to your heaviest set you never get the same fatigue as if you do nultiple sets within the same weight scheme. Then when you feel for a break i just switch bodypart. Its sort of HIT / Bulgarian. Hope somebody finds this interesting, its fun not feeling locked in to a program, oh and fuck counting reps 😈

Blood and guts every day 💪🏽

Great as always. Sadly, being 40 and weighing 75 kgs @1,70 my weak part is my whole body unfortunately

I used to train legs back and bi's Monday and Thursday and chest shoulders tri's Tuesday and Friday but now that I'm in my mid 50's I've changed to legs (inc' calves) on Tues, chest and back on Wed and shoulders and arms on Thursday, (Friday is 'bits' day so that's traps abs and calves 🙂). This is a recent change so am I doing enough is my question? I just didn't feel like I'd recovered enough on my old routine before I was back hitting the muscle again.

Dorian and Charles glass should do a video together.

"On stronger body parts you don't use so much intensity, maybe just go to the point of failure and don't go beyond that" Just to failure, fuck.

At what degree angle would you consider a low decline?

The Biomechanics of the human body is the best ever to train it is the future. Doug Brignole brings this info 100%.

Or if you live in Brazil, use synthol!

Yeaah

DY 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Do we all understand this. What worked for Arnold may not work for you. What worked for Frank Zane may not work for you. Every body is different. You can't expect to look like Dorian when he was gifted with lats and calves. You heard him say it.

For an Englishman called Yates he has a trace of a foreign accent, a ghost of one...

His arm where 20 inches

I wish I didn’t have to cutt my balls off and use Instagram etc to make money in bodybuilding these days, I work at a gym that’s too clean, too lit and too quiet. I want a dungeon life

My tip : train your weakest bodypart FIRST.

4 thumbs down? 4 idiots who didn't even watch.

He had bad biceps even in the end, so not Much advice was given 🤣

Common sense advice.
