No one can deny that Lee was amazing, but literally all the guys from the 1970s ate high protein moderate fat and Low carb diets, to each their own.

@@Kane6676 You mean… including Lee Haney himself? That’s not really debunking his point

[@fitawrarifitness6842]

Thats not true, the majority ate a so called "balanced diet".

[@SuperRayrobinson]

The greats were never really big eaters , Arnold was the same , get a fully balanced diet in place and always in shape. Lee was probably the best of all time that 30 inch waist was amazing and look how healthy he looks today.

[@AnthonyJ74]

How do you gain muscle without gaining fat though? That's the problem for many people.

[@jamie.777]

Yep, 30 inch waist! Mind blowing

[@bh5817]

He said low carb diets are for fat boys which was open ended enough, but then he goes "when you excessively cardio and deplete"...now are we talking about low carb or excessive cardio? This is a great man saying silly things.

Everybody is different. I lost 20lbs in 1 month on keto and feel great.

I lost a total of 85 pounds in 8 months on keto, went from 242 to 157, then while still doing keto and consistently weight training, went from 157 to 170 in a little over a year, still minimizing body fat gain while maximizing muscle growth

[@pavankumarmsk5944]

Good one

[@DG-EditsYT]

Lee wasnt grainy, no striations but great shape, likeable by many many bodybuilders cut carbs low to get extra shredded along with other drugs If you look at Dorian black and white 1993 pics he was striated in his glutes 3 weeks before competing, he had no little folds in the low back and glutes like lee does at his best, this was also down to low carbs and drugs of course. Both great bodybuilders

[@americanpatriot1618]

@Stay Up You realize when he competed in the 50s and 60s he was too ripped according to the judges so he usually came in 2nd or 3rd. He never placed first because of that. Right after that silver era he was the one who trained all the greats and they were more low carb than you think.

[@1fes323]

Only carbs don't bulid muscle fats and protien builds muscle

[@MasculineIdeal]

The muscle isnt built out of carbs thats all glycogen and water retention. Carbs make the muscle pop but arent what the muscle is made out of.

[@1fes323]

-_- If you take out carbs, then you re adjust the fats to meet the calories. Idk what more to say.

[@1fes323]

Wrong again. Carbs isn't what makes the muscles "pop". It's H20! H20! Eating all the fucking carbs but without water it ain't happening. Lastly no muscles can be full with just fat and protien.

[@1fes323]

Candy? Wtf are you drinking? The 90s was better for a reason. Fats and protien was what they ate and in the Golden era. Carbs is a tool and only that.

[@1fes323]

I don't care what works to some doesn't work for everyone. As a bodybulider great as a nutritionist (which all suck) no the best one is the person who controls their body.
