This split and program was so exceptional that it was the only time that the Yoke Squad members asked a meso to be extended.
This is the Yates 1.0.
This was the split that Dorian Yates used in his prime, during his Olympia reign, and very close to all of the exercises that he used during that split as well.
The split is four days a week, and needs a well equipped gym (but not over the top) with equipment like a smith machine, hack squat, leg extension and leg curls, chest press machines, etc.
This is an absolute gains driller. If you haven't made any progress in a while and low Dorian's training and methods, this will be the split for you.
