A Shadow Dynamite

When I read Dorian Yates Blood & Guts book, believe me the first thing I did immediately was sending my previous book(Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, Arnold Schwarzenegger) into my dustbin. Arnold has always talked rubbish, given fake advice, misguided many youngsters whether it comes to training, diet.Trust me, if you are really serious about bodybuilding, this book is for you. The language is very simple. The advice is straightforward. I began to feel results immediately after 4-6 weeks of intense training. My recuperation is far better now.Guess what, I'm going to give a try to the Dorian Yates Approved supplements(Pro Peptide & Pro MR) and soon going to post a second review!

The new standard for bodybuilders

After reading this book (and gawking at the photos) you'll say to yourself," It can't be that simple!". Dorian has truly taken the mystery out of bodybuilding. He has broken it down into the basic elements; eating right, training correctly, resting, and employing intensity in your workouts. The first three elements you can get directly from this book. The intensity factor you have to experience. Get Dorian's video!! Once you SEE how he trains, you'll know what intensity is. Then you will have the complete formula to achieve all of your lifting goals. How you choose to use it is up to you.

The true meaning of Ultimate Bodybuilding Training Intensity

Dorian Yates is the living & breathing example of true Bodybuilding Training & Intensity. Very few people ever experience such will-power to the point of self-destruction. I can identify with his training intensity as I have lifted weights & semi-pro 'body-built' for the last 20 years. Dorian is such an inspiration to me & his book is THE ultimate in bodybuilding training. Arnold would talk trash but Dorian would let his body do the talking on stage!!! I love it! I saw Dorian guest pose a few years back in Chicago at the Jr USA, I have never seen such an impressive physique. I have never seen such a HUGE, AWESOME bodybuilder in my life! And probably never will again. I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning what REAL bodybuilding is. If you can find one of his books available that is. P.S. Buy Dorian's video - You will freak out!!!-MARK RENTAS

One of the best books on the subject.

If you're into bodybuilding you need to read only 4 books: Optimum Sports Nutrition, Beyond Brawn, Big Beyond Belief and Blood and Guts. That's all you need. Abreviated routines is name of the game if you train anabolics-free. Dorian shares his view in a very humble, no bull manner. He also emphasizes the fact that one's character and integrity is what matters much more than the amount of muscle mass one caries around, something Arnold never paid much attention to.

A no nonsense approach to bodybuilding

I've read several books and magazines by bodybuilding pros who want to voice their training views and opinions. The disapointment with other authors was they just repeated what other bodybuilders wrote. Nothing original. Dorian Yates' approach to bodybuilding is familiar - Mentzer's approach - but superior. I've been following Dorian Yates' career since he was crowned Mr. Olympia. His rate of improvement from year to year is phenomenal. I know some people might say that it just the drugs, I disagree. Yates' philosophy and inner drive is what makes him constantly improve. Today - 1998 - other pros now follow his hardcore, intense approach. In the world of bodybuilding: Yates is the leader and everybody else is a follower. Even though this book was published in 1993 his methods have remained the same. In my opinion, follow someone's advise if it works, if it doesn't ,throw it out! I would recommend this book to only those who are ready to follow an intense program. Wimps not need apply. I read this book in a day. I couldn't put it down. Pick up a copy and you'll see a difference in body, attitude, and desire. "Two thumbs and a lat spread way up!!"
