So, next time you feel like skipping a gym session, give yourself half a chance instead.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thedorianyates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To follow Dorian Yates on Instagram, click here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/dorian-yates-used-the-crossover-effect-to-overcome-injuries\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For bodybuilders that dream of commanding the stage, there\u2019s often little thought given to injury as each warrior lifts the heaviest possible weight in the hopes of raising an Olympia trophy, but Dorian Yates has recently shed light on a crossover effect method that he used to stay in the game when his body gave &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fitness"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.8 -
