Dorian Yates: This is What’s Wrong with Fitness and Bodybuilding Today
What was said
"For the Mr. Olympia, I calculated— and don't think this— I'm not a guy that's just started training. I'm a guy that's near his absolute potential, a Mr. Olympia professional competitor. It totaled up to around 1,500 milligrams a week. Yeah, that's a pro contest though. That's a Mr. Olympia, like a few hundred milligrams of test, Primobolan, trembolone, and some Anavar. And I consider that to be very high at the time, but I see people taking that on a regular basis."
Six-time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates reveals his peak steroid dosage was approximately 1,500 mg per week during competition, a figure he considered extremely high at the time. He contrasts this with modern recreational gym-goers who routinely exceed that amount without competitive justification. Yates only used trenbolone at 152 mg weekly due to its potency, emphasizing the restraint elite competitors once exercised compared to today's reckless dosing.
