  • Dorian is the ultimate role model. A true inspiration for me.

    Dorian is probably the smartest bodybuilder in history
  • Everyone is giving him the same questions over and over. He told these stories million times.
  • Even after retirement, Dorian puts 99% of population to shame on the Calves department 😂
  • To anyone british he is the king of bodybuilding. I'm 33 but when he was on the scene bodybuilding gyms blew up in the UK. True inspirational mindset
  • You can argue who is the Best Bodybuilder of All Times, but not who is the Best Trainer or most knowledgeable . Dorian is the Man.
  • @Dean-gt2cr
    Would be amazing if Dorian did a bodybuilding encyclopedia like Arnold's book but with his diet and training, can't doubt his knowledge on muscle building and the aesthetics
  • @sivacharan4959
    Dorian is so Down to Earth.. He is so wise.Universities should be lining up to confer him a Honorary Doctorate on Bodybuilding & Nutrition Legend and one of the GOATS of the sport
  • @cdog2145

  • Dorian is a true champion, not only a bodybuilding champion, but a champion human in every sense of the word, he's an authentic and genuine man, who is a great role model and hero of mine. Dorian's philosophy on life is something we can and should all learn from. A great interview, thanks for doing it and thanks to Dorian for the insightful and deep answers. Brilliant.

    This is the only interview in which I've seen Dorian so relaxed. Credits to the interviewer for creating that vibe and also he wouldn't interrupt Dorian when he spoke💯
