Pro Bodybuilder Critiques Dorian Yates' Blood and Guts Back Routine 

Where's the Nautilus pullovers??

Dorian did more than one warm up set. He would do several pyramid warm up sets that he didn’t “count” and then did one and sometimes two work sets to failure with either added partials, rest pause, or forced reps on most movements. With his back workout he mostly started with pullovers not pulldowns. I met him 3 weeks after his 3rd Olympia win. He was a guest poser and was 275lbs. He was super nice at his autograph table too.

That gym must be one big meme, like all of LA trying to do social media lifting in there

Dorian always. starts with pullover machine though.

I went from high volume training to more dorian esque style training. 4-6 sets per muscle group all beyond failure and ive noticed huge strength and size gains with it recently.

Bro puts so much energy into the “what is up youtube” practically breaks the mic

you should do a collab with dorian and go through a workout with him

Please, yes - more of this style of the two of your test driving training styles. And thank you.

Dorian did do warm up sets tho

Great video man. Gives me some ideas for my back day.

I SAW YOU ON JULIBEE, I LOVE YOUR PERSONALITY. KEEP IT GOING KING

Bro has Liu Kang goes to LA vibes

So basically what made Yates, Yates, was that he was insane with his lifting, brings it back to the mindset, those who wanna go the most intense usually are in the top class

Dorian's back workout will wreck your day for sure. I remember doing this workout every back day for years when blood & guts came out. I got strong as 💩 and s pretty swole back as well. Nothing like Dorian or Eric though. Respect awesome video.

Great video Eric. Love Nile he's funny.

That Dolph song at the end of the video was awesome!!!!! Rest well Young Dolph..

Deadlifts last actually makes sense, less load and the back will definitely be the limiting factor, you could even go higher reps cause cardio will be less of a limiting factor

These clip mics gotta chill, I can see a comedic skit of like someone with 10 mics on them at this point

Eric, it was awesome to watch you do something that is practically the opposite of how you normally train! Please do a version for pecs/biceps, delts/tris, and legs! That would be amazing!!!

When did you get your pro card?

Hey Eric on your next chest video can you go over how you are supposed to be seated on the Low Pulley Seated Crossover? Thanks your videos are AWESOME!!!

The next video is a dorian yates insane leg day for blood and guts

This training is awesome to watch others to do, I will never train like this~Im too fragile😅~ I'm also eagerly and patiently waiting for a video about how you train your glute~ 😇

Bro I love your videos and physique but this isn’t Dorian Yates style training, he doesn’t go to failure he goes beyond failure and the deadlifts he modified to the Yates row I know all this because he trained me and put me through it many times. No disrespect bro just letting you know :)

Correct me if I'm wrong but did Mike Mentzer have any influence on Dorian's training?

LET'S SEE THAT MIGHTY BACK YATES YEAHHHHHH COME ON THAT'S THE WAY, ONE BY ONE

Bit off topic, but I saw you on that Jubilee discussion and came here to sub on merit of you being an A+ human alone.

Boss big fan❤️

“All you” as Eric’s forearms and brachialis are straining to the max, lol 😂.

If you are alive you are warm.

i did the Blood & Guts program years ago. a few months, got stronger than any point of my life, got bigger than any point of my life. but it was too taxing to my body and my CNS

I hope your back's all right Eric

Why's so much swinging in those Db rear flys😅????

where is his fav back exercice?

One thing you get from watching blood and guts and from his description of how he feels the exercises, Dorian had piston form on every single rep of every exercise. Some people just fire perfectly and he was one of them.

Is the last exercise not a barbell RDL?

19:36 shocking! Eric gets Zercherpilled. Now we need a collaboration with another Eric😏

Thank you, Eric! I'm really looking forward to your videos. And hello for Nyle, you are cool! ❤

Tom Platz leg workout!!

THIS IS HEAVY DUTY TRAINING OLD SCHOOL IT WORKS THE KEY IS RECOVERY NUTRITION

Nyle is strong if he can lift what you lifted

Decent back workout it's about intensity with Yates workout he jus giving u idea how heavy to go with decent form to failure

Only in bodybuilding is it okay for a low level pro to critique and say that a 6x champion trains wrong. That never happens in any other sport, kind of interesting.

dorians blood and guts reps where alot more controlled all through the session, each exercise got more and more sloppy as the session went along

Bravos Gym

Dorian. S lower back did not bend as such. He remained fix and more upright

21:35 I would not scoop up with my head on this particular exercise, especially during failure.

Just get Tom Platz to come give ya'll a leg workout kk thanks.

Gettin intimate at 13:54!

I dont know anyone who got injured doing rows, 😢

Deadlifts at the end. Wtaf. 😂

I get it everyone has their opinions but when he said Dorian Yates Back workout won’t give you the aesthetic look like bro go look at his back during his prime he’s more aesthetic than all the bodybuilders right now and has a better lat spread that is evenly distributed with a hard granite look while these new guys have a wide back but no aesthetics no granite look they all look soft. To be honest I think someone who doesn’t have an Olympia shouldn’t even be Critiquing a 6 x Mr Olympias workout obviously he did something right maybe that’s what your missing

Oh oh

I would have been nice if you were able to bring the man himself to put you through the pace of his workout

Respect România America Eric Gym Campionilor Doryan

Honestly that deadlift without touching the ground, should be used more for bodybuilders, hitting the ground is more for weight lifting and powerlifting

Nyle not taking the chance to do the 'threeeeee mooooreeee reeeeeps' seriously disappointed me

u ment *amateur bodybuilder

That dude is NOT Dorian Yates bro.

was your coach Dorian Yates? - LOL

26:15 lolololol he standing there with an injury and didn't warm up as you talk about the injury risks. Is Nayla high off his rockers on pain killers in this ? Seems like it. Painkillers and caffeine. That's why he could still work out with an injury but looks like he is about to nod off half the time.

if eric trained like this regularly hed be a pro already !!!! This is training !!!

Based on how out of breath you get, prob need some more carbs, more intense cardio, to at least boost your cardio system

I mean it works, but your joints are gonna be powdered after a year of this. You'll get big tho.

A nobody criticizing a Olympia champion, how ironic and ignorant.

You just ruined blood and gots of dorian please go and train with him not try to copy it this much weak

Horrible form on the seated row...too much leg and lower back and no control on the eccentric. Also let the weight stretch your muscles as you remain straight up without bending forward at the hip. Im not even going to mention the db reverse flys...looked like a beginner and nothing like Yates...

terrible idea :D

Eric, you're fine, but don't touch the myths. Dorian has only won six Mr Olympia. And with far fewer products than the average beginner uses to go and be a fool at the beach. Dorian doesn't touch himself.
