I don't think Dorian had very good genetics, but he overcame that through will and determination.
In today's bodybuilding scene, the power of the mind is being constantly recognized as a huge influential tool. Through the use of effective goal setting and visualization, bodybuilders are taking their training and physique to the next level. Many pro and experienced bodybuilders do not put their success down to their training or their genetics. Instead they attribute the strength of their mind-set as the key to achieving physique greatness. Former Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates talked in-depth about how he beats genetic superiors than him due to his mental strategies, and how the focused mind-set he had adopted constantly kept him striving to be the best. Dorian once said that if Flex Wheeler had his mind-set that Dorian himself would be in serious trouble. Skip La Cour, the top ranked natural bodybuilder, makes his living from his motivational bodybuilding books. In these he assists people in determining what goals they really class as important, and then sets strategic steps in order to make these dreams a reality.
He had the best genetics from the neck up- he just dusted everyone through intelligence and willpower, But Yates obviously did have good genetics in several bodyparts. I mean, you can't get much more genetic than calves, forearms, and lat shape and he had the best of all 3 in his day.
he said himself that he just had average genetics but outworked everyone else to the top.
Yates er en av mine favorittbyggere, men det jeg sa var ikke at han ikke hadde bra gener, men man kan vel egentlig ikke regne han som den heldigste av gutta. Han hadde som sagt massen, men er mer strukturen og symmetrien på kroppen hans jeg snakker om.
