Dorian Andrew Mientjez Yates (born April 19, 1962 in Sutton Coldfield, England), is a successful professional English bodybuilder, winning the Mr. Olympia title six times from 1992 until 1997. He is considered to have revolutionized training in the sport of bodybuilding. His style of training is known as "blood and guts" training. This style of training advocates several different exercises and few sets for a bodypart allowing it to be hit from all angles for optimum development. He believed that muscle stimulation could be caused in a shorter period of time with the proper intensity rather than working out for extended periods of time. He is also known for his incredible back development.

Post competition career

In 2006 he franchised Temple Gym hoping to make it a world wide chain, currently there are 4 branches, 3 of these in the UK. Dorian Yates left CNP Professional in 2006 to pursue his own interests and began a new supplement company Dorian Yates Ultimate Formulas.
