Dorian Yates: This is What’s Wrong with Fitness and Bodybuilding Today
What was said
"Apparently now there's another substance that's permanent, like silicone injections or something, right? And that explains a lot. And you got guys with lumps and bumps all over them. Not going to name names, but one guy got the golf ball here, a golf ball here, one here, one here, and kind of smooth looking. So the muscles are very full, but there's no details in there. So this is another level, man. This needs to be stopped right now because it's very obvious."
Dorian Yates warns that modern bodybuilders are using PMMA (permanent muscle mass enhancement) injections from Brazil to artificially inflate muscle size. He describes competitors with golf ball-sized lumps and unnatural smoothness, calling for immediate action to ban the practice. Yates argues this crosses the line from sport to cosmetic enhancement, fundamentally corrupting competitive bodybuilding's legitimacy.
