Look at this madness. He brought his back up, too.

Standing relaxed its close. Other than that Haney beats him.

do you notice alot of guys with over dominant delts lose their scapular mobility causing them to shrink when they raise their arms?

Mentions his back, but don't post any pics of his back?
-
Here's his back at '91 WBF.
I know there is a RLS from that FIBO event but I can't find it right now. It looks better than this pic.
-
Guy with the camera stopped filming just as Gary's back was about to become visible
-
Haney in '91. Maybe his biggest ever? Wonder how he would have handled Dorian in '92.

I must be difficult as hell trying to find that bad picture of Haney, which undeniably is one of the most esthetic mr Olympias ever. Yes, If we are comparing worst picture of Haney and the best pictures of the Strydom, he at that moment look better than Haney, just like Honest was commenting, till they turn around. Strydom, the man without lats, will never be better than Haney, who have lats. It really is simple as that. Strydoms main problem was that he loved looking himself at the mirror, and didn't give enough attention to the bodyparts which he didn't see.

I don't think that's a bad pic its sick. It's part of the comparison, I'm trying to find Haney at his most impressive. There are some guest posing shots from that period where he looks insanely big, maybe like he would have if he stuck around.
I'm trying to be fair, don't just pick and choose Haney at his perceived "best" like that '88 shot. I saw that one coming; looks like Gary is mid-pose to me.
I want '91 Haney vs '91 Strydom. Coward. Panty. Set it up.
-
Found the Haney pics. Guestposing '91, looks HUGE! Still with that tight waist!
-
Lee's arms could've been bigger. Ronnie's arms looked nearly twice the size as Haney's
-
Not that bad...
-
Haney much more balanced and flowing physique. Strydoms delts overpowered his chest, even his mm was out of whack. Then from the back it wasn't even close

What are you crying about, little child? Don't you know that those two has been on the same stage at the live competition, and they has been rated there by official judges? Haney win, because he were better. It make no sense to try make some "Who will win at the crappy picture contest", that is childish. I know you little fan boys see things differently, but any kind of comparison by the photos is just stupid. They have been in competitions, Haney has win a lot, Strydom has win a little, so Haney was better, no matter how do you see it. In his career Haney never placed outside the top three, while Strydom has some grand prix victories, fifth place at the mr Olympia 1988, which was only mr O where he was competing. Haney has win all what matters in this sport, and Strydom has win some second class shows, where he has been with some second class bodybuilders. This is the truth, no matter if it hurt your feelings or not.

Haney at about 250 lbs was a man amongst boys during his era
-
You can't win a Sandow with the piss poor Genovaesque back Strydom had.
-
What are you crying about, little child?
I don't get you, dude. You seem to be taking this far too seriously. I'm just trying to spur some friendly discourse with this "What if..." matchup. Sure, Haney is a fucking legend, and Gary is a only a legend "in his own mind" who only competed twice post-WBF. How is that even up for debate? The point is comparing/contrasting the two of them at their best, which Gary was never even close to during his times on stage with Lee. Then there is the scintillating question of how Lee would have fared if he stuck around in '92 or even later, because he was really hitting his stride there.
I would say Strydom takes Haney on legs, arms and delts.

Real issue is that an argument could be made on all bodyparts, but Back is night and day. it was the same with Nasser another guy great from the front and side, you just cant win an Olympia without a back, Strydom and Nasser were Olympia standard in all bodyparts but from the rear they looked like they didn't belong on the same stage.
-

Haney looked like shit, delts quads n lats way too big for chest and arms, bodybuilding liek NBA died around 1989

True, and Strydom was far worse than Nasser was from behind. Of course he beats Haney in ways Nasser didn't best Yates...
-
Till they turned around
Excatly, he looked great from the front, but the back was not at a pro level.
-
96 NOC. Nowhere near his best..
-
Strydom had mass,shape,condition,maybe the best delts all time ,plus height and looked great at many bodyweight and ages amazing like ferrigno.
-
Lee's arms could've been bigger. Ronnie's arms looked nearly twice the size as Haney's
Ronnie's arms were probably 4" bigger; everyone striving for a 1.2 inch arm gain for months/years would know that 8 times that is huge. Lee's arms were not great but I think (as someone with small arms relative to torso ;D ) that people with oversized arms are seen as normal over those with proportional arms.

Great legs too. Strydom has good quad shape, and GREAT legs considering his height.

It is obvious that we are talking two different things, and the career of both of these guys doesn't happen by accident. There has to be reason why Strydom has only 5th place at the mr O, and why he was competing mainly in the GP tours. He could look better in the photos, but live on stage he was nothing at all, and that is all what matter in this sport ;D
-
2006 and that back is hanging together by a thread.
-
Strydom may have had a better bodypart or two than haney but as a whole haney stomps him

Strydom had a better lower body, Haney had a better upper body.

Strydom's delts were awesome.

BETWEEN HIM AND SCOTT WILSON COULD BE THE BEST EVER...

Lack of deadlifts.... ???
Anyone know what his training looked like?
-
Look at this madness. He brought his back up, too.
I made a thread with both of their 1991 routines.

Toupee was hanging by a thread too! :-X

I've seen Strydom and Haney at Gold's Venice doing separate photo shoots one day after the '88 Olympia. Strydom looked great, ripped and full...but Haney looked otherworldly. I've never seen such thickness and density. Friendly, down to earth and humble to boot. A true champion in every sense of the word.

Lets see him at the stage with some other bodybuilders at 1989:
He seem to be in good condition, but still struggling with these guys which were beaten by Haney with no problems at all, so could he be better than Haney? In some picture, maybe, but never in real life. At 1989 he didn't have those cannonball delts at all, so it seem to me that he found the Synthol when he change the federation and pumped his delts in to new shape. Maybe that is one of the reasons why his career ended at 1992.

Guys were not using synthol in 1991 or 1992
