Dorian Yates profile

Dorian Yates is Britain’s most successful body builder of all time.
He is the only British bodybuilder to have ever won the prestigious Mr Olympia title. He won it not only once but won on six successive occasions, just one less than the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Dorian Yates came from Birmingham and despite a fairly tough start to life started to train hard using what equipment he had and by searching for and teaching himself the best weighs to train and use nutrition.
After just three years of his training he was weighing in at 210lb and won the 1986 British Heavyweight Championship.

In 1990 Dorian attended the 1990 Night of Champions in New York and took second place in his pro debut as a pro – coming in behind Mohamed Benaziza. The Following year Dorian was back. This time there was no second place - he won the contest.
In 1991 Dorian was also in action in Mr Olympia. He finished runner-up to Lee Haney, who had dominated the title and won his record eighth title that year. In 1992 Dorian was back and was Mr Olympia for the first time. His first Mr Olympia title came on the back of nine years of training.
From 1992 Dorian was the dominant force at Mr Olympia. He won every title until 1997. The path was not smooth, however, as Dorian overcame a bicep injury in 1994 to take the title. Then in 1997 he tore a tricep just weeks from the contest, but again he overcame the problem to come away with the title.

As well as brawn Dorian has shown himself to be a businessman too. In 1987 he took over a gym in Birmingham that had been running since 1962. Temple Gym has since become synonymous with Dorian's success and now also has other gyms which are franchises of the original place where Dorian put in the hours of hard work that took him to his titles. But the original gym is still one that many body building fans head for to not only see the environment Dorian created but also to work-out and reap some of the benefits for themselves.

But it is not only the gym market Dorian is involved with. Dorian has now launched his own line of nutrition products called the Dorian Yates Ultimate Formula range.
Dorian said: “I decided to develop and manufacture my own product range, scientifically engineered by some of the world's leading scientists, doctors and nutritionists to be the ultimate in sports nutrition. Dorian Yates Ultimate Formulas provide the absolute in quality, taste and effectiveness. With in-house manufacturing and my commitment to ongoing scientific research and development, you can be sure you are buying products that are at the leading edge of sports nutrition."
