LOLOLOLOLOL!!!! This is another reason why Haney is the best all time. Unlike Dorian and Ronnie. Haney didn't end up a mangled mess in the end and went out on top looking his best. Haney was living art! No homo. and LOLOL @ Big Bubba Ronnie.
LMAO there is NOT a Dorian picture you could post that I haven't seen already ( no homo )
schmoing in some more pics (no homo)
Yeah Buddy
Haney dominated his era, in a couple of Olympias he had one call out in prejudging.Total domination.
The taper on Haney was absolutely sickening. Look at this! This is insane! And no big stupid legs that are non-functional.
Although Ronnie is only five years older than Lee he is two generations apart.People forget how young Lee was during his Olympic reign, 24-30 years old. Ronnie was 34 when he won his first Olympia.
I'm a bit biased, but all things being equal: food, drugs, training...Haney would beat anyone from any era. And he'd remain humble, approachable, and down to earth in the process.
Was that the '83 or the '84 Mr. Olympia competition?
I think you meant Lee five years older than Ronnie but yes you are correct about totally different eras and drugs.
Impossible to compare Haney and Yates. Lee without any doubt responded better to AAS then Dorian, but we'll never know how his liver would have handled big doses of gh. He sure didn't care to know, since he accomplished everything a bodybuilder can possibly wish to accomplish.By going from era into another, we're talking about completely different genetic requirements.Yates and Haney were both king in their own era, and I feel comfortable to suppose that Dorian would have been second to Lee in Lee's era, and that Lee would have been second to Dorian if he had continued (he was only 32 when he retired).Prime Dorian (= early Dorian) was better then Lee and that's only logical: with gh you can go way further then with aas alone. But Lee reigned for 8 years straight without his physique deteriorating.
With Lee's genetically tiny waist, if he started using gh in the amounts that pros where using in the Dorian era he would have easily carried another 25lbs of muscle with not that much effect on his waist line. Not as much as it effected Dorian. I am a big fan of Dorian but genetically he was vastly inferior to Haney. All else being equal, Lee would win every time. Every damn time.
To say Lee had an advantage in genetics to Dorian is one thing , to claim Dorian was vastly inferior is just nonsense. Why? you offer no explanation how he is ' vastly inferior ' just an assertion. Contrary to the cliched response Dorian's genetics were exceptional and just because he didn't have a light frame like Haney or Flex doesn't mean he wasn't every bit as special in terms of genetics , they had their advantage as did Dorian Genetically did Lee Haney have vastly superior balance & proportion compared to Yates? NO. How about density & dryness? NO. The rub against Haney was he was all torso , Great back & pecs , delts and tiny midsection , his arms lagged behind and his legs were way behind. Haney has his advantages for sure but as far as genetics are concerned he's no more special than Dorian
Haney overall the best ever before the bloated waists which have ruined Bodybuilding. I feel another Ronnie vs Dorian conversation coming on between ND and Hulkster one of the longest threads ever.
Nah like Ronnie's he's done lol
