Dorian Yates Net Worth and Salary

Yates started working out in 1983. His professional record consists of 15 major contest wins and two second-place finishes; from 1992 to his retirement in 1997 he won every single contest he entered.

His career ended in large part due to chronic acute injuries, including torn biceps and triceps, the latter just three weeks prior to his final contest, the 1997 Mr. Olympia, which he won in spite of the injury; his win generated controversy among fellow athletes, critics, and amateurs, who thought the runner-up Nasser El Sonbaty deserved to win.

Yates was a proponent of Arthur Jones and Mike Mentzer’s high-intensity training (HIT) style of bodybuilding, which poses that maximum muscle stimulation can be reached through short and intense workout sessions instead of long and slow ones.

He earned the nickname “The Shadow” coined by Peter McGough for his tendency to unexpectedly appear at major bodybuilding contests and steal the win, has neither confirmed nor denied whether he would compete beforehand, and for spending most of his time between contests avoiding the public eye.

Yates is considered to be the first of the “mass monsters” in bodybuilding. He combined his enormous muscle mass along with peak conditioning, quoted as being “granite hardness”.

He believes that his injuries are due to his habit of maintaining an extreme level of training intensity all year long, even when approaching contests, while being on a severely restricted “cutting” diet which weakens the body overall.

Regarding the use of PEDs, he referenced the documentary Super Size Me and stated that eating three McDonald’s meals a day is more harmful to the metabolism than his 12 years of regular steroid use.
