Title: HANEY in 1991 - what weak legs?
Post by: Nether Animal on March 30, 2016, 01:12:18 PM
His legs look great here.

Also a guest posing pic from '91 showing that Lee had much more in the tank, and could have packed more size on to compete with Dorian; at least in '92.

He would have smashed one armed bandit in 1992. However, in 1993 Dorian was the man.

The best Mr. Olympia of all time. Haney was in top form in 1991 and could still beat Yates in 1992.

He lost the muscularity round and barely beat him in '91 and Yates improved in '92.

He retired because he knew it was over.

Except he had two arms in 1992 and he came in smaller and tighter because that was his main competition. If Haney would have been there he would have outmassed him.

He retired at 31 years old because he didn't want to take the amount of drugs Dorian was rumored to be taking at the time. Worked out perfect for Haney. Got out before the GH/slin bellies took over. Haney was the end of the era before the retards took over...

Yup.  Agreed.

But I still think he loses the next year regardless, if he competed.

Lee weighed 265 in that guest posing (even heavier than Dorian during his 1993-1996 wins).

Actually Kevin was down a ton of size for the 96 Mr. O. He was only 240 pounds (Although fuller and heavier at the Grand Prix). He made up for that in 1997, weighing in his 250's onstage and 250 in 1998 as well.

Do you really think that he would be having difficulties with the Photoshopped picture of semi good  bodybuilder? Haney win mr. Olympia 8 times. How many times Kevin Levrone has win it? 0 times. Why? He wasn't good enough. Case closed.

I'll bet it was lower than your estimates.  Off season you might be in the ball park.  Pre-contest I'll bet it was test, primo and winny.

I wouldn't say he wasn't good enough, it's a subjective "sport" there's that.

In my opinion I liked 93 flex wheeler better than anything lee brought

Pre contest the use of orals and faster esters always push the dosage up as they have to be taken more frequently. well in my experience anyway plus lower dosages than off season pre contest usually result in loss of muscle as its in a calorie deficient period you usually find anabolic work better, just an opinion.

I just don't see the point of high dosages pre-contest when you are in a calorific deficit, high or low dosages you are just trying to hold onto tissue.

And Ropo, here is Haney about 6 weeks after winning the 1991 Olympia; holding up Levrone's hand at the 1991 Nationals. IMO Levrone's legs were better than Haney's at that point.

We'll never know the real numbers but supposedly Weider told Haney that Dorian was using double the amount Haney used. And that Haney's wife put her foot down and said no way you're doing this any more. Maybe that number was exaggerated. It is funny how Dorian today talks about how he was a guy who used much less than everyone else. Which is funny because that isn't what was going around many years ago. Dorian trying to re-write history is my guess...Usually the guys who say they took the less really took the most...

Kerry Kayes would back that up, maybe not double but a gram more, Dorian was not a huge abuser, but I concede I think he used considerably more than Haney would have but not as much as the guys who dont have the genetics that filled the pro ranks both now and then

Awesome pictures.  I think Lee's wife wanted him to curb the gear use for his health.  Keep in mind he was just turning 32 by the time he retired.  Hardly old, and definitely young enough to reverse some of the damage from what was likely only 10 or so years of continual steroid usage.  The proof is in the pudding, I would say - as Lee appears to be in great health today.

He was huge with a tiny waist.  His muscles were hard and not soft bloated like today's champs. He had nothing to prove anymore. Today he looks like an athlete and looks healthy. Also his body isn't destroyed like Yates and Ronnie.

Agreed, but Haney was 2" taller than Levrone, so it looks to me that Kev is considerably in front of Haney in that shot.

IMO, Kev at his best vs. Lee Haney at his best, and Kev wins.

I challenge anyone to find any other male bodybuilder with a better torso.  Meaning, abs, lats, chest should width, rib cage, waist.  He's better than everyone including Arnold and Coleman. There's a reason he has 8 Sandows.
