Dorian Yates: This is What’s Wrong with Fitness and Bodybuilding Today
"I had 2 people that I certified that went on to compete and both ended up in a hospital. A young girl, I think she's 21, 22, and she ended up in hospital with kidney problems, bladder problems are still maybe not resolved now. My coach told me to drink 8 liters of water a day, every day. It's craziness. And these people are charging money."
Yates exposes dangerous coaching practices after two of his certified trainers were hospitalized by their competition coaches. One young woman developed persistent kidney and bladder problems from being instructed to drink eight liters of water daily. Yates criticizes the proliferation of unqualified coaches using extreme protocols that turn clients into science experiments while charging significant fees.
