Welcome to the fourth episode of Shadow Talk, the podcast hosted by six-time Mr Olympia winner and founder of nutrition and supplement specialists DY Nutrition, Dorian Yates.
Shadow Talk is an insightful podcast series that aims to answer the question: How can you be a better version of yourself?
Dorian welcomes guests from across the world, to not only talk about fitness and health, but how to mentally and spiritually improve oneself. Hosting guests from not only his competitive bodybuilding past, but also from his own journey to self improvement, Dorian asks the questions that will allow you, the audience, to take away valuable and practice lessons you can apply to your own journey.
Dorian’s guest for this episode and the first face to face interview is Chris Cormier, one of his oldest friends and a fellow competitive bodybuilder.
A hugely successful name in the business, Chris has had a career full of huge highs and lows, competing with some of the biggest names in the business and appearing on the cover of many bodybuilding magazines.
Following his retirement from the business, Chris has now worked with the next generation of bodybuilders for years and continues to be a respected figure in the industry.
Dorian and Chris look back on a life of hard work and fitness.
You can watch Chris’s documentary Chris Cormier: I Am The Real Deal on Amazon now.
