Dorian Yates' Blood & Guts Trainer: Legs - PART 2 - Bodybuilding.com

[Zachbro39]

Lol @ all the squat try hards. Just because an excerise works for you dont assume you know everyone elses body. Thats the beauty of versatility with workouts, there are so many different ones, your bound to find one that works for you.

[DerTeke]

Great performance at the last rep at 1:20.

[hoopmillionaire2]

"Come on Chris, get some big hamstrings hanging out your arse"

[itBchrisP]

my hamstrings are getting tight watching this.

[jareds1007]

did i miss hips and groins?

[smashandre]

squats are effective depending on ur morphology if ur longed limbed u cant rack on the massive amounts of weight heavy enough to stimulate enough growth, im long limbed and when i do squats in order for my thighs to be parallel to the ground i have to be leaning over soo much i feel most of the workout in my lower back than legs and my knees are before the point of my toes, squats work differently for everyone, hack squats isolate the quads better, squats are great excersise dont get me wrong :)

[2bsure]

@smashandre I agree with you on that. I love free squats, but being long limbed also my concern is lower back before legs fail. I used to hate hack squat, but I had to train at a different gym for a while that had one and now I love it. It is harder because it does what I want it to do, hit the quads. Also I have very good cardio and muscle endurance, so this means I can rep forever even with heavier weights. I agree though that it is a personal thing, each must find his own balance.

[MrGeneralskruf]

shit, watchin dorian Coach makes me wish we humans had more muscles

[relyanddefy]

what machines can i do calfs on?

[DelinquentBilly]

@relyanddefy Calf raise machines :D

[tribefunk1]

I'm been doing his work outs for 3 months, shit I seen alot of gains in my muscle , fucking Yates your a badass trainer and pro bodybuilder.... Thnk's

[Gherman3991]

don't arch your fucking back!

[MetalMeLike]

@ 2:30 ....that ain't sunlight .. Thats the aura coming off the Great Dorian Yates!

[liahkim737]

fuck walking the next day...

[Econ1260MetZRoberto]

@liahkim737 the next five days....

[negrojujeno]

that leg routine was easy and those guys were crying like little girls, I train my legs harder than that. to the point of almost throwing up.

[bingbang3214]

@negrojujeno so you are saying part 1 and 2 are easy? This looks like it would be a really good routine.

[myusernameis360]

lol no squats, and hack squats arent squats

[dodo1702005]

dorian realy great body builder ,great trainer ,hones and realy such a good person any way thnx dorian for your tips you help me to improve my body thnx alot man

[AssholeBreaker]

at min 1:01 the guy is getting an anal beating.

[modernmasterpiece]

Personally I like doing more than 3 sets per exercise. I moreso double that, but to each their own I guess.

[sellyintegra]

It can be called a stiff leg deadlift too bro that's always what I've called it for hams

[ballbagbaggins]

there seems to be a lot of confusion about the deadlifts. for hamstrings it is the romanian deadlift. the legs should be bent slightly with the hips pointing out to the backside and as dorian says, keep the back arched. a stiff leg deadlift is something completely different and is more for your back not your legs! of course the legs will be involved but like i say its a big difference.

[TheDallasLaw]

Wow! Amazing series!

[TheKingsize1000]

squeeze

[loloalwaw]

Only got one of those excersises availible in my gym and that is stiff-legged deadlift :(

[USMCgiz]

@loloalwaw move to a different location ;P

[jhgosnell]

@loloalwaw Maybe time to change gyms!

[danielleece]

seated calf raise works your soleus which is predominantly made up of slow twitch fibres. You should do more than 6-8 reps. Aim 15-20 to really make this muscle grow. Real men Squat aswell. Otherwise good workout.

[acipshah]

@danielleece shut your mouth its dorian yates

[jallalabadreturns]

@danielleece funny, cause dorian had some of the best calves ever seen.

[ThePonta931]

Some big hamstrings hangin out your ass!

[jbaby27]

Now this is what a leg workout should be :) I used to hate doing legs, but I think this vid has changed my mind.

[thegray71]

Dorian is the man!!!!

[redkill666]

u have good calves cause u come from uk xD XD nice one

[kQllejQlle]

squats are overrated for size

[bambarby]

I dig the lighting man. Nice video.

[Gherman3991]

my calves would never grow with that workout

[gmanthebeast1]

@Gherman3991 guarantee youve never trained this hard

[txhrlyryder]

He should be Knighted... Sir Dorian...

[danthaman7777]

is he kris gethen guy training

[angel11811]

id pee my pants if i had dorian as my trainer

[yamakunda]

What exactly does "pacing yourself" mean please?

[Gibbonious]

@yamakunda it means letting yourself rest too much between sets so feel ready for each, rather than following the strict minute break rules which is harder and produces more muscle growth

[samdrum08]

Are you supposed to do all these in one day? I all episodes

[19mojo89]

@samdrum08 an episode a day. thats why its says day 1 chest and bi's etc

[KKdlReyes]

For all of those dogmatic free weight squat people that keep asking why they are not in these videos. Dorian did the hack squat over the free weight because you can't really train your quads to absolute failure with them. There is just to much glute/hamstring involvement and your respiratory sytem is bound to fail before your quads do anyways.

[ILoveZoophilia]

@KKdlReyes

First of all. Credits to dorian. Hes a huge inspiration.

But..

your respiratory system is not bound to fail before your quads. Maybe for you if your conditioning sux.

Standard squat (feet shoulder with apart) mainly hits the quads. Ofc there are alot of muscle groups that works as well such as: hamstrings, adductors, glutes and erectors. That doesnt mean that you cant train your quads to failure.

Dorian used the hack squat because it worked for him. Case closed.

[TheRealLaker]

@KKdlReyes Very True. He also says they never suited his body type, long Legs and narrow hips. I can attest to the long legs thing, I struggle to get good depth because of it.

[Louie212121]

@KKdlReyes WORD TO THIS. Never get the burn in the quads enough before my body goes GTFO!!!!!

[CR250RidR]

@KKdlReyes truth, also if your a shorter guy say 5'9-5'10 and under u dont really wanna do free weight squat ever cuz it works your core too much and can make you look too blocky on stage. Leg press is ur friend

[nemukecz]

@CR250RidR dat some true 100% bs bro, whos the one who teaches u?

[DelinquentBilly]

@CR250RidR You're a fucking retard

[Spacecowboyy]

@KKdlReyes the difference is in your goals. for a bodybuilder yes this is true, as you need to isolate each muscle and define them as much as possible, but for a powerlifter the stabilizer muscles won't get enough attention if you're only doing the hack squat obviously.

[jl92010]

Where is this filmed. That gym looks great.

[johnson512n28]

The stiff-legged deadlift is present in the back workout video. I did them on back day and it killed my hamstrings, kinda messing with my workout schedule. I'm wondering why he does the same workout on different days.

[bonzihunter]

@johnson512n28 no they did regular deadlifts on back day. Except the way Dorian does them, he doesn't go all the way down to the floor in order to keep the tension on the lower back, because the bottom part of the movement is mostly glutes and quads. So even though Dorian-style deadlifts look similar to stiff-legged deadlifts, they are two different exercises stressing different muscle groups. SLDL are for hamstrings, deadlifts are for back

[BassInMyFace1]

love the welsh guy

[Misurinko99]

NAME OF THE FIRST SONG PLSEASE : )

[lokokai200]

where the fuck is the normal squat training with the barbell!!!!

[leonmuscle123]

@lokokai200 they done hack squatds and leg presses in first video

[EisenhauerMichael]

this was funny-"Destroy your knobby-knee toothpick sized legs"...DORIAN IS STILL THE KING!!!!

[MuRf456]

I have been doing this blood and guts trainer for a week now.. I rate it highly and don't doubt Yates' knowledge, however I usually experience a large amount of DOMS after legs, but no DOMS after this workout despite pushing myself to the limit and going to failure. Is this an indication that I will not recieve growth from this workout?

[express375]

@MuRf456 I only seemed to get really sore when I first started training,which i kinda miss in a weird way?

From what i've learned and read,so long as your going to failure,your weights/reps are going up and you eat right,then you've got to be making gains.

I've made a PDF that follow the vids vids.You can print them out and track your progress.It also saves thinking what body part is next,and what weights to start with.

[p71josh]

Damn, I'm tired just watching this video! I wish Dorian was my trainer.

[luigibattista10]

Ok boss. Thank you. I do hamstrings the day after I work out quads.

[luigibattista10]

This is my leg work out:

Squats, 4 sets of 6-12 reps. ( 2mins rest between sets)

Hack saquats or leg presses, 6-12 reps. (2mins rest)

Leg extensions. 12-15 reps. (1 1/2 mins rest)

I do this once a week.

Please, correct me if Im wrong or give me some advices.

Sorry for my english, Im italian.

[HooHaa121]

"Youve got great calves because you come from United Kingdom" So right! The great Dorian Yates :D.

[francisco609]

Training legs to failure, is hard. I think I do train them to failure, everytime I train them I have to take sugar to control the nausea I get from it. My sugar levels come down, my oxygen levels are low.

Even with sugar I finish looking pale.

[ncrb73]

My specialty is film producing/making and this production value of this "video" is extremely proficient. The camera angles, editing and post-production tweaks are very, very appropriate and professional. Excellent work whoever produced this. Plus Dorian is in it ;)

[cristianlanda]

no squats?

[crazykorean2268]

@cristianlanda im not a big fan of squats because i dont have a good form, there are other good exercises. i do leg press. did u try leg press. i actually find that to work better. when i do squats, my knee makes a crack noise sometimes

[cjhoubre]

@cristianlanda i found that so strange. squats are key to big legs, plain and simple.

[luigibattista10]

@cjhoubre This is my leg work out:

Squats, 4 sets of 6-12 reps. ( 2mins rest between sets)

Hack saquats or leg presses, 6-12 reps. (2mins rest)

Leg extensions. 12-15 reps. (1 1/2 mins rest)

I do this once a week.

Please, correct me if Im wrong or give me some advices.

Sorry for my english, Im italian.

[cjhoubre]

@luigibattista10 I'd do leg extensions, first, just to get your legs warm. then go on to hack squats, for 3 sets, increasing weight-1 warm up, 2 working. then go on to back squats, 4 sets- 1 warm up, 2 working, 1 burnout. Then leg press, 3 sets. 3 working. Dont forget hamstrings, calfs, and a glut exercise.

[express375]

@cristianlanda He talks about why he doesn't squat in a video i saw.

When he first started training all the big guys were around the squat rack.

I can't remember exactly,but i think it was something to do with duplicating and an injury?

[Ruinous]

@express375 I remember that too and I think it was injury related because thats the exercise that puts the bodybuilder out the longest if an injury occurs. I know, for example, Jay Cutler does them in a smith machine and on occasion light front squats. It's all about working the muscle effectively, plus squats are the hardest to get focused leg contractions in since it's a full body effort.

[Ruinous]

@express375 Nvm I found an excerpt from his training philosophy on another site. "1 Be objective in analyzing which exercises are best for you. Some conventional movements might not be suited for your physique. In my case, it was squats. After many years of being faithful to them, I realized that the relative lengths of my bodyparts restricted the range of motion for squats. When I switched to the leg press, I made much faster gains in quad size and sweep."

[k1ph]

@cristianlanda

squats are in the PART 1 video

[lordblades]

@cristianlanda They're on PART 1

[19mojo89]

@cristianlanda hack squats

[teenbodybuilder3]

@cristianlanda no dorian wasnt a big fan of squatting. Think about it....how exactly can you go to complete failure on squats without risking serious injury? Leg presses and hack squats are much safer to take to total failure and if u do them correctly there is no need for squats

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

@cristianlanda I've read a little bit about Dorian and it seems that he prefers the leg press/hack squat over standard squats

[angel11811]

@cristianlanda i do them every other leg training , it gets stress out of the lower back . When it comes to legs , leg press (neutral position) are about the same

[barbosa973]

@cristianlanda dorian didn t like squats,he said that depends on your structure ,for him they developed more hamstrings and glutes but not the quads so he started doing hack squats that worked way better for him

[macewindue1990]

@cristianlanda dorian claims that he never did any freeweight squat during his olympia career which is impressive if you consider the size of his legs back then

[drunkdonutboy]

@cristianlanda They did squats in the first part, albeit on a machine.

[Drkimsam]

@cristianlanda Check part 1

[Uzzi56]

@cristianlanda he did the hack squat so there's no reason to do a normal squat

[Hardik850]

@cristianlanda There are two parts to this video, the squats are covered in the first part. This is Dorian Yates, he knows what he's doing :)

[Kidacekfull]

@cristianlanda part one

[MegaParryman]

@cristianlanda its part 2, squats are in part 1

[JacobCurt]

@cristianlanda This is part two of Dorian's leg workout if you click on part 1 he does some hack squats.

[feedmesomeganja]

@cristianlanda

hack squats? noob

[crazykorean2268]

i do a lot of rest pause, omg, it hurts!

[viciogames]

how many lbs that guy on the leg press was doing?

[crazykorean2268]

@viciogames a lot thats all i can say. im going to say around 700 pounds

[JuventusAAR]

@viciogames 1800 lbs

[sa6oroman]

Man Dorian is great motivator!
