Dorian Yates was not among the most genetically gifted bodybuilders on the planet but through passion and diligence he became one of the best in the history of the sport.
He had the best back in bodybuilding and had that paper-thin skin and grainy solid look that was unprecedented in the sport. His calves were also among the best and his quads can rival that of any pro bodybuilder's from past to present.
Dorian Yates is the second greatest bodybuilder next to Arnold Schwarzenegger in FLEX magazine's poll survey of the "Greatest Bodybuilder of the 20th Century" ten years ago in 1999.
