The Reign of Lee Haney.

[@AaronStarks]

Why does Lee Haney get so little mention in bodybuilding KZbin. It's like they go from Arnold, skip the 80s and go right to the 90s. When I was a kid, Haney was THE man.

[@lopezlion3164]

lader baxter oh yeah? What about Ronnie?

[@dons634]

lader baxter bullshit, say that to Ronnie Coleman

[@ImYourHuckleberry_29]

Its a good point. Very valid. Haneys chest and vacuum are still awesome by todays standards.

[@sweynskarilsen9105]

Aaron Starks, in my own opinion I believe that it might be because he didn't bring anything amazing to the sport besides the greatest record holding run in bodybuilding, allow me to explain. First Arnold brought it out to the masses, his attitude, physique, charisma were all eaten up by the newly interested people that just started to see and learn about bodybuilding. 2nd, Dorian changed the game completely by coming in huge, bigger, harder, and more conditioned than anyone before, which is partly why we see guys so big today. 3rd Ronnie took it further by being an absolute beast and outdid everyone with such sheer mass coming in just over 300lbs and also tied Lee's record of 8 straight wins. Lee Haney on the other hand only had the record to his name which he deserved rightfully so due to his consistency and amazing physique, but other than the record 8 straight the game didn't change. Dorian and Ronnie also had tougher competition to deal with, being up against the likes of Nasser, Shawn Ray, Kevin Levrone, Flex Wheeler, etc.. That might be the reason why he gets overlooked but again that is just my assumption. I personally always hear Lee's name come up because of his record, but, that's the only thing I ever hear about him, nothing else. It's sad because he was the best for an amazing 8 year run, and I do agree that he does deserve mountains of respect.

[@Marvellous.Misfit]

Aaron Starks Lee Haney is like the Larry Holmes of Bodybuilding.

[@abc456f]

Lee Haney...last of the aesthetic Mr. Olympias. Dorian took it to a new level but not necessarily better.

[@non9886]

haney's appearance was almost always freeki man! he was very far from being aesthetic but he was close to weiders and that was many more important. imho he is typical example of politics. he made training videos for weider and he was pushing him. also it is possible that there was real politics in it. he is black and was a cop, so...

[@arshbhullar3093]

srg914 uhhhh bruh Dorian in 93 94 95 96 looked crazy at the Olympia, and the German Grand Prix (no big waist) I think ur referring to the 97 Yates when his physique was fucked because of injuries

[@juliohernandez5110]

Dorian just represented a new era, the same way Haney did. Lee came up with a physique that balanced size with aesthetics in a way that had not seen before. Besides, Haney was also noticeably bigger than most of his competition at the time, and that certainly gave him a decisive advantage. Dorian took the size aspect to another level and combined it with extreme conditioning which to me has yet to be equaled. You might argue that Ronnie had great conditioning in his prime and was bigger than Dorian, which he certainly was, but never as dry and shredded as Yates in Dorian's best years. But back to the original point, Haney is certainly the last of the aesthetic Olympia winners.

[@bigstink9]

LOL. Haney was never a cop. I think you're confusing him with ROnnie Coleman. At least I hope you are. Haney was 'very far from being aesthetic'???? Huh?? Haney didn't win because of politics. Haney was more often than not the biggest, hardest, most proportional and one of the best posers at every Mr, O he competed in. There was no financial advantage for the Weiders to market a Black Mr. O who was undeserving.smh

[@bigstink9]

Nah, even when Dorian was at his aesthetic best in the IFBB, '91-'93, his aestheitics were average to poor. He never had what anyone would call a 'pretty' physique. His abs were flat and he had poor muscle separation, except for his back. And Yates' waistline was always on the thick side. It just got worse after 1993.

[@viralgainz4272]

I don't think enough people give Lee credit for how damn amazing his physique was

[@kanagawayarichin]

He is underrated

[@Shadowboxe]

I think Lee was too much like the guy next door personality wise. There was no mystique to him. It worked for him and worked against him. But he was for sure one of the smartest to leave the stage with his body intact.

[@dereksmorg7220]

ViralGainz he's got 8 Mr Olympia wins I think that's credit enough.

[@NPFfumbi]

ViralGainz very nice flow

[@chrisplantstrongbrown5585]

ViralGainz I agree very underrated

[@nickdiaz6236]

Haney was the last Mr Olympia that combined great size with eye pleasing physique. True bodybuilding died when he retired.

[@TheSmoshJuniors]

nick diaz check out Dorian in 92’ or 93’ before his injuries he was everything aesthetic short of a vacuum

[@cruedust]

@@TheSmoshJuniors na Yates is known for not having a great chest and arms.he never really displayed that Mr o v taper that just brings every out.yates started the mass monster era n god father of what we now know as bubble gut.yates fan base n politics helped him win where its no question at all he should have lost at least 3 of his 6 titles.he had one main outstanding body part but when one body part can win a overall show there's a problem.dude even won with one arm come on thats fuckin nuts.at his best he was never more pleasing or displayed what a Mr o is supposed to actually look like as haney did.

[@fabiennefertiti3017]

1999 Ronnie Coleman

[@tomkruze2749]

nick diaz Exactly Correct! I say that often

[@Quaght]

Lee Haney, in my unstudied opinion, is the best of the Olympians. Not only a beautiful classic physique, but one of the nicest guys out there.

[@cosmopoliet]

DAMN RIGHT !!!!

[@davidpierce9949]

The GOAT. But Bob Paris had a very good physique. He was voted most aesthetic athlete ever.

[@alexisdiaz4217]

Super weird how this guy won 8 times and you never hear anything about him...

[@tom11zz884]

Racism....They want to keep Arnold's name out there.

[@yousefsobhani9502]

Rimex People overlook him a lot

[@michaelwheeler7293]

It's not racism for some reason Ronnie Coleman just gets more recognition as the winningest Mr. Olympia.

[@dropbear42_76]

tom11zz884 racism? Ronnie is mentioned constantly. Relax.

[@blackcasanova7]

He is black. That's why. They rather give more credits to the godfather of bubblegut Dorian Yates.

[@jishnu_sings]

The body builder with the healthiest and successful career in the sport.Respect

[@pjlabuschagne6078]

Imagine lee haney's physique if he used the same stuff as dorian and all those mass monsters man o man but glad he retired as an roman statue and not a lego block

[@bigstink9]

madmile1997 Right on bro. There's a vid on YT where Lee Haney is guest posing at 260+#, and he was beginning to lose his classic proportions. Yes his arms were bigger, but is waist was much thicker too. Too many BBers don't know what their sweet spot is and think they can gain weight indefinitely and still look impressive. IMO Haney knew his best weight was between 248-258#, and never deviated from that. In that sense, Haney never lost the artistry and aesthetics of pro BBing.

[@ukfirebird]

superbly said.

[@Trendle222]

lol yep!

[@davebarry4647]

I attended a Lee Haney seminar on two occasions...once in 85' and once in 87". When Lee took his shirt off I literally couldn't believe how unbelievable his chest, back, and slim waist was. He was in top shape for both just prior to the Olympia and was a freak of freaks. Samir was at the 85' seminar as well and looked tiny compared to Lee.

[@lazur1]

Afraid of losing to Dorian Yates? Ha. Remember, as Mr O, Haney had an insider's ear to the trends in bodybuilding. He knew how to win another O, & decided it would do his physique & his legacy more harm than good : All he had to do was upgrade his drug intake to the new mass-monster levels, & gain another 20 lbs, forsaking his tiny waist, & beating Yates at his own game. Thanks for not doing that, Lee.

[@tyronejones4245]

I doubt he could have beaten Dorian in the mass monster era, but I'm glad he didn't try. It was the perfect time for him to make his exit.

[@thebigpicture2032]

Haney dwarfed Dorian in the 91 O. He definitely could have played the mass game.

[@DiabloSpiritus]

Im Yu Haney knew the writing was on the wall when he saw Dorian : kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3eooZiseLFgiq8

[@DiabloSpiritus]

The Big Picture No, he didn't. Haney had better chest, condition abd v-taper. But that was it, he varely edged Dorian. As a matter of fact, Dorian beat him in the muscularity round. Haney knew the writing was on the wall when he saw Dorian. He admitted it right here : kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3eooZiseLFgiq8

[@lazur1]

But what did the "writing" say?: "Take more drugs, eat more, come in at least 20 lbs heavier than ever before." As a competitor who never gained an oz that'd affect his waist/ taper/aesthetics, he refused.

[@johnlatour1156]

Lee Haney took mass to the limit while still maintaining a look that was aesthetically pleasing. His physique can still be viewed as a work of art because of his lines, proportion and conditioning. The true art of the sport was somehow lost after his era and I think many fans hope that one day that part of the sport will return.

[@gregshock]

Lee certainly had a phenomenal physique. Perfect size, symmetry, proportion, shape, definition. Awesome, in every way.

[@mmafan8407]

The most complete Mr Olympia of all time. Perfect balance of mass and aesthetics

[@shubhamthorat2314]

OMFG !!! He retired at 31 and was already 8' times Mr.O .....That means he started his reign from the early age of 23 WTF that is Legendary for sure 💟👌🔥

[@ReschDMD]

Not sure if I have posted this before, but I met Lee at a show (after retirement, just signing autographs) and he was a super classy, extra nice guy. He and Lee Labrada were two of the most polite and eager to meet fans types I have encountered.

[@laimonaslb]

haney was between aesthetic and freak in my opinion, he was right along that border, and after him the mass monsters came!

[@allnfun6315]

laimonas lb Spot on! I bet there we're bb'ing fans who thought he was an abomination at the time, knowing how every Mr O is hated on at some time.

[@lakeeriesailor2852]

he was a mass monster, but an aesthetic one. he was the same size as Ronnie Coleman in 98 when he won his first Mr Olympia.

[@richbrake9910]

aesthetic is a pretty freaky look in itself , so yes he was freaky and aesthetic.

[@tomkruze2749]

Lee is a man of God. He fears no Man. He retired because he is a great father and loving husband. He could afford and wanted to be with his family. I meat Lee once in Georgia. Really down to earth kind man. True champion

[@willybillyws]

yeah Lee Haney was the man...and he didn't have any steroids withdraws, complications...no surgery or damage to his organs..pretty nice career he had

[@chrisahearn1735]

[@VCthaGOATdunker]

What really made Haney look amazing were those huge lats from the front, above that slim waist. It just took his physique to another level.

[@the430movie]

The greatest Mr. Olympia ever!.... And the last of the true body builder before the death of the sport!

[@preachinoldschool5726]

Lee Haney is a very underrated Mr O. Thanks for the great critique. Lee was an outstanding ambassador to the sport of Bodybuilding...perhaps the last. The last of the small waistlines too!

[@chrisauge6802]

Lee has an amazingly aesthetic physique. His back to waist ratio is insane!

[@axelfoley1768]

They must be the legends. I was aged in my twenties reading about these guys in the early 90s mags, and here we are 25years later and I stumble across this channel. Good to hear about them again.

[@bobomonkey702]

I thought he clearly dominated Yates that year. He had much bigger chest and vacuum. He retired at only 31 so he could have still made huge improvements and won many more.

[@ernestespinosa1853]

Awesome as usual Nick. I agree, that he retired for his family. Bodybuilding at that level BACK THEN was intense and time consuming. He, like all bodybuilders BACK THEN, competed YEAR ROUND. Not like today's one and done competitors. Lee Haney had a great balance with his small waist, wide upper body, great legs.

[@bigstink9]

After Lee won his first Mr. O, he only competed once a year. Remember during that time the top IFBB guys had Weider and supplement contracts, so Haney probably earned close to double or triple his Mr. O title money every year. Still, at some point the reality of knowing that Lee at close to 260# in his final Mr. O was going to have to take more PEDs and put on more muscle mass AND get more shredded if wanted to continue to win more Sandows, probably wasn't appealing to him at that time. Lee Haney left the game on his own terms. Nobody 'retired' him.

[@peterjohnson1332]

Love his front lat spread.

[@bloodstar8]

Lee was freak in his own right. Let me explain. Genetics has a large part of the Type of BB's you see today and back then. V taper was the thing you had to have; many BB's that compete today could not have competed then because they lack the genetics to have a crazy v-taper at any weight. Likewise, many BB from yester years could not compete today because they don't have the frame to pack on muscle to the degree needed to place now. This is where Haney comes in; he had genetics to have a small waist but still pack on muscle without HGH and insulin. Not many can come on stage at 248-250 with a vacuum and 31 inch waist. A mass monster dominated competition allows for those with naturally wider waists and blocky frames, which can put on muscle quickly, to be dominant.

[@Meketoa1]

Just standing next to Yates Lee looks way better, even bigger.And his Symmetry is just awesome with that Classic V shape👍🏼

[@laroccam]

I'm lucky to say that I met Lee Haney about 30 years ago, and even got to share a limo ride with him from a small body-building show in Staten Island, NY to Newark Airport in NJ. He did the show as a benefit / fund raiser, and my father's close friend was the guy who organized the show. I remember him being such a genuine, humble guy. He lectured me on eating healthy which I keep telling myself one of these days I'll put into practice.

[@currencytrader4389]

Didn't Mendenhall have some sort of car accident in which he said the doctor attributed his conditioning for saving his life? That would be an interesting video as well. Edit: December 84 he was in a car accident in which he was EJECTED thru the windshield, which would normally have killed most normal men (broken neck from hitting the windshield or internal injuries from hitting the pavement). All that muscle saved his life. I remember reading that story as a kid and being fascinated by it for some reason.

[@Oceanbreeze160]

As usual good video nick. Lee Haney had a killer physique definitely one of my favorites bb. His lat spread usually killed his competition on stage along with his symmetry. Great video!!

[@almcdonald8676]

The guy was a Hercules. I used to do endless T rows to get lats like haney

sorry but i doubt ur lats were as good as Haney's lol, just sayin...

Did it work?

[@2Times22]

[@MichaTheLight]

I like how Haney decided to quit early cause of his family, that's a very wise decision cause he wnated to see his childs growing up may also his grandchildren and not dying prematurely cause of to long use of enhancing substances. Respect to him for that decision.

[@Primathys]

Him and Iris Kyle are the most underrated Olympia winners.

[@rockypaul8646]

Love the channel Nick....I remember growing up in the 80's and seeing Lee Haney's picture in every fitness mag. I always considered his body type as one to aspire to when I started to pump iron back in the early 90's

[@DrGargani]

I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Lee at the Arnold many years ago, with my son. He was an impossibly nice man, well spoken, and a man of great faith. Can't say enough good things about him: I am so glad he got out when he did before he had to distort his body to stay along with what was following him.

[@blespere]

I think he was the perfect combination of aesthetic, small waist V taper, muscular mass conditioning, posing, etc.! Which, ofcourse is why he won 8 straight Mr. Olympias. Plus, he was and is a nice guy. VERY MUCH OVERLOOKED in bodybuilding conversations!!

[@tejas1090]

I really enjoy your videos

[@theRealAV8r]

Subbed. And thank you for this. I give *every* credit and respect to Arnold Schwarzenegger. His impact on the sport is beyond measure or question, as are his accomplishments in and outside of it. He is the single most influential figure to ever come out of BB. Having said that, I am sick to death of Arnold fanboyism, he is most assuredly NOT the 'greatest bodybuilder of all time' from an aesthetic standpoint - that is fatuous nonsense unsubstantiated by anything other than a cult of personality. THIS man right here has actual facts to back him up. *8 unbroken, unquestionable wins at a time when BB was at it's aesthetic zenith.* ie after the top heavy era and before the mass monster craze. This was the best of times in BB, when men were big but still human, and women were muscular but still female. And Lee won it all, then left on top.

[@bagster8660]

Great video, I loved Haneys build, just a great balance of size and symmetry. Interesting that Bob Paris featured in the Mr America contest with Haney and Mendenhall. Paris had a superb classic physique

This is a GREAT ANALYSIS VID NICK!!! I have always admired Haney's AMAZING LATS and small waist which just ACCENTUATED that V-taper! Plus this factor coupled with his AWESOME VACUUM ABDOMINALS is why he is one of my favorite MR. O champions!

[@IvanBFit]

Lee Haney is incredibly knowledgeable. I met him in the IP casino in a Mississippi bodybuilding show in 2010. He was doing a seminar the day before the show and he had great knowledge and information. Very motivating and a great speaker. He had many great ideas and he talked about the importance of fasting occasionally or going low protein to detoxify our internal organs. He also came out with a sweet potato protein powder and he talked about the importance of power circuit training or interval style training as opposed to steady state or stationary cardio. We took pictures with him afterward. Really nice guy.

[@jalsr.speak2379]

[@firedrake7179]

I totally agree with the comments on here. Lee and Zane will always be my 2 favorites. Both harken back to a great time in BB and sort of “book-end” it for me.

[@brettjohnson645]

I love this video. Lee Haney did the right thing. He had nothing else to prove in bodybuilding. Had it continued to compete he would eventually lost because it would have been more difficult to see him put on the kind of size and mass and yet keep his superb aesthetics, lines, striations, and condition he was known for throughout his whole career.

[@HoustonIsImmortal]

Lee was my favorite bodybuilder growing up. Awesome profile on the great Mr. Haney!

[@mysteryman123able]

Back in the 80s lee haney appeared at our local ymca theatre in Leicester England doing a question and answer seminar. Finishing of with a posing routine....whilst still Mr Olympia...a very small theatre so we were able to see his physique in detail..fantastic...every muscle on his body stood out even on his forearms..its hard to appreciate what these world class physiques really look like unless you actually see them close up..also lee was great guy humble yet intelligent...he was unfortunate to be around just before the internet...

[@charliewolf1163]

Nice Nick, I haven’t seen those guys for years! My brother and I wrestled and played football in the early 90’s. We were growing and bigger for our sport. We got a membership to Flex gym in Lakewood, Colorado. We were training for state finals when we ran into Matt Mendenhall training. That was my first time seeing a “true bodybuilder” up close😳. He was training chest with 150 lbs dumbbells for reps! Super cool guy too. We went to Arvada, Colorado for a Better Bodies gym opening I think it was? and meet Lee Haney. He was there to promote the gym and sign autographs. We were stunned he was exactly what we were all training to be. He had a 32 inch waist and was thick as a brick but shredded to the bone. He was the most humble cool guy to talk to also. Sorry to carry on and on but that video brought back some great memories. I enjoy your channel keep up the good work brother!
