Title: Didnt know Lee Haneys height was actually 6'4!
Post by: Bam-bam on October 25, 2011, 05:56:35 PM
You know bodybuilding is about what package you present as a whole. You cant dissect an athlete (I know most people do) because its simply you are what you are at this level. We are born with different structures and what one likes another may not. "And that is all he is known for" Don't forget I have a small waist and good quads for 6ft2. I have calves, hams and gluts that are not too bad either. "A piss poor back" I would argue that as it has carried me far and thats what counts. Check the record.

I'm pretty sure Gary actually is 6'2.  It's true that his back was weak compared to the other top bodybuilders of his day but it was pretty big during his WBF years:

Hard to knock his physique:

the bottom clip was on schwarzeneggers superstars of muscle, in that version Gary said from his own mouth he is 5'10 or 5'11. Long time since I've seen it but it was definitely one of those 2 because when he said "I'm very tall" and then came out with 5'10"/11" I thought so not that tall then. :)

haney was highly criticized as having bad bodyparts, only a chest and back, lots of flaws, etc

but as soon as you put the very complete big guys with great physiques next to haney, all of a sudden they didnt look as great

yes but to be fair he was contest ready in that video. the 6'2 height is probably when he is off season, and then he cuts to 5'10 when pre contest. Makes sense because in a more compact frame he would look more muscular and dense, having a edge against his competition.

Never realised how close in age Haney and Coleman are. Haney born in 59 and Coleman in 64. Both could actually have competed in the same era.

a cult, a sub-culture, a hobby

Lee Priest is also a tall bodybuilder but because his legs are not long it makes it makes him look short.

Lee Haney states he is 5"11 and half at 12:30 on this video, sounds about right to me. He does mention someone else at 6"2 but can't tell what he says
