Dorian Yates won his first of six Mr. Olympia titles in 1992 and officially ushered in the mass-monster era. His huge, grainy physique was the next step up from the more aesthetic previous Mr. O Lee Haney…
Even so, this shot of Yates shows a small waist, so the bloated-midsection look didn’t come till the late ’90s, early 2000s, but that’s another story…
Yates at 5’10 1/2” had jaw-dropping mass at a competition bodyweight of around 275, with every muscle group developed to gargoyle proportions—and he did it with short workouts compared to his peers.
He was from the high-intensity, Heavy Duty school of bodybuilding—but he favored higher-rep warmup sets prior to his all-out heavy mass blasts…
That’s similar to our slow-twitch exhaustion, or STX, method, which begins each muscle assault with a high-rep set to pre-exhaustion slow-twitch fibers—and trigger growth in those often neglected fibers as well…
We’ve also found that you don’t have to use crazy heavy poundages to hypertrophy the fast-twitch fibers after a high-rep set—if you do it right—something revealed by a Brazilian study discussed in many of our e-books, like the one we just updated…
It’s an expanded version of our Quick-Start Muscle-Building Guide, now 2.0, with many mass tactics—like STX, slo-mo, and speed reps—infused into short, efficiency-of-effort home workouts…
The workouts in the new section are tailored to build muscle in a bare-bones home gym with only moderate poundages—all you need is an adjustable bench and dumbbells (we have only the 50-pound PowerBlock set, and it’s working great for us, which is why we updated this ebook)…
You can add this newly updated ebook to your mass-building library by clicking HERE.
Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.

Veiny Arms All Day
You know that feeling you get right after a great workout? When you look and feel huge with that massive post-workout pump? Imagine feeling like that ALL day…
Frank Rich’s program can help you carry that just-worked-out look all day, and he’s offering it to our readers for almost nothing.
>>> Try Frank’s Massthetic Arms here
It’s one thing to develop big arms, but if when they look solid and have veins streaking all over, that’s when people really notice.
Frank has research showing that arm vascularity (the denseness and veininess) is more desirable to women than 6-pack abs, and if you’ve been following any fitness stuff on social media lately, you know that’s a fact.
We know from our own years of experience with being in various levels of conditioning that we get a LOT more looks when walking through the grocery store or running random errands when we have veins streaking down our arms.
>>> So if you’re ready to create massive arms that are thick and veiny, then click here.
Oh, and Frank’s new arm program (*plus all the bonuses*) is only $9 today, so take advantage while you can.
