What a good dude

I agree. To this day he is a gentleman and well grounded family man.  He has had and continues to have a life outside of the gym which is more than can be said for some bodybuilders, especially so for todays contestants.

I just gained a new respect for Lee. I hadn't really seen too much of him outside of pictures in mags, but on video he comes across far different-lee. :P

Something I did notice, and it's quite apparent, is Lee doesn't look all that big in his street clothes. This is evident in the beginning right after the weigh-in (where he does look monstrous) and again as he's walking down the beach with his wife. In the latter scenario he does look built, but not that grotesque look like the guys of today. However, he doesn't look like he can't run or do anything else someone on the beach is doing.

I also like how he is smart in the gym! He's not lifting all that much; his bench is higher than some today in the gym, but the rest of his weights are what you could find anyone doing. He's not out to stroke his ego. And that comes across in his physique.

You are not going to see a man like him for a long while. Part of it is because of his Southern upbringing...you see a bit of the same atitude in Ronnie Coleman as well...

I was at the 88 O, Lee had one of the best V-tapers of all time. Will we ever see another Mr 0 with a waist as small as Lee's?

Yup, that's about the time I met Lee at Gold's. Right after the '88 Olympia. Like a said before, you had to see him in person to really appreciate how impressi>e he was!

When he trains, he reminds me of Arnold. The same intensity, you can see it on his face. Totally into the task at hand, with that mind/muscle link. Not detached and half assed like you see a lot others train. Lee was the man...

You can learn more from this video then any other new Bodybuilding video.  8) the 5:57 mark is a "Schmoes" dream.  :D Lee is second to Arnold.  8)

its amazing that in normal clothes eg the brown shirt and black pants Haney doesnt look super huge.

yes you can see he is in good shape but not inhumanly big.

but when the shirt comes off, the quality is amazing

sheer quality- thats what Lee Haney had

No need of negative post because Lee Haney represented  the peak of bodybuilding: THE PRE-PALUMBISMO ERA OF BODYBULDING,an era when it was cool to be a bodybuilder,an era when most of the womans were turned on by a bodybuilder body and not repulsed by it, an era when most men looked with respect and admiration toward bodybuilders because they envied their phisique,an era when bodybuilding fans admired their champions because of their built and demeanor ,an era without syntol and insulin.
They said Getbig is a negative site for bodybuilding but I think instead that Getbig is the best site because it keep real and it  is a place were the truth has more chance to be exposed to the novice of bodybuilding.
Getbig and the negative attitude toward the current state of bodybuilding is the sign of the time, and most of the people that make fun at the bodybuilding scene of today really love bodybuilding like used to be before the advent of this shameful time we are living: THE PALUMBISMO ERA OF BODYBILDING!

I think Haney will be the last of the really young bodybuilders to win the O. Seems like now you don't peak until your early/mid thirties. It's interesting to note that though Haney and Coleman represent completely different generations of bodybuilding eras, two generations apart really, they are in fact, age wise, contemporaries with Coleman only being a bit over 4 years older than Haney.

There was a much bigger age gap between Ronnie and Jay, something like 9 years, than Ron and Haney.

arnold's last olympia was 1980 and lee's first olympia appearance was in 1983 so it's very imaginable the 2 of them competing on the same stage :D.. imo even if both were in the exact same era taking the exact same drugs lee would be a better bb because of his naturally better structure!!..
