All the biggest guys lifted very heavy weights, not a lot of sets and reps, and not a lot of exercise variation. I believe I remember that Dorian was doing incline benches for sets of 5 at over 500.

Dorian and Rip Maul a Myth
Huge bugbear for me is training myths and bullshit. The myths don’t come much bigger than the training variable sirens. Here’s Dorian (who knew a thing or two about general strength ie. applying force against an external resistance) recently calling out the “change your exercises” myth. Why the hell more people don’t listen to a guy who has sold more books on strength training than his competitors by a county mile (Rip) and the one of the best Mr. Olympias ever who dominated the sport in its most competitive era (Yates) is a shame.

Yes, Blood and Guts dvd. A total classic. Yates was an old school English Bulldog - all bite and no bark. An animal. They don’t make ‘em like they used to.

More importantly, how much bigger and stronger would Yates have been if he used a trap bar?

It's impossible to know.
