Dorian Yates is a former English bodybuilder who competed professionally. He was born in Warwickshire on April 19, 1962.

He has stated that if he could go back in time, he would “have given [himself] more rest” because he spent the majority of his time as a bodybuilder dedicated to a strenuous routine and a strict diet.
