Dorian Andrew Mientjez Yates (born 19 April 1962) is an English former professional bodybuilder. He won the Mr. Olympia title six consecutive times from 1992 to 1997. He has the fifth-highest number of Mr. Olympia awards of all time, thus ranking behind Ronnie Coleman (8), Lee Haney (8), Arnold Schwarzenegger (7) and Phil Heath (7). He is widely considered to be one of the top bodybuilders in modern history and is most known for his wide back.
Yates was born in Hurley and grew up in rural Staffordshire. Yates' father died of heart attack when Yates was 13. After his father's death the family moved to Birmingham. He started working out in 1983.
Yates' professional record consists of 15 major contest wins and two second-place finishes. His career ended in large part due to chronic acute injuries, including torn biceps and triceps, the latter just three weeks prior to his final contest, the 1997 Mr. Olympia, which he won in spite of the injury.
