Lee got out of the game when he was only 32. Smart dude

He won 8 Olympias and broke Arnold's record. What else was there for him to do? With that said, Haney won the Mr. Universe in his early 20s; so he spent nearly a decade as a pro.

Demey tore his pec and Sarcev tore his bicep. Benfatto also tore his pec in late 90s. When he made his comeback in the mid-2000, you could see the difference.

I think that Gary Strydom and Mike Christian both probably trained fairly heavy, but stayed within their limits.
