Title: Lee Haney had the right approach!
Post by: Go 4 It on December 10, 2016, 04:46:20 PM
"Since I decrease my activity level in the off-season compared to contest training, there's no need to consume many calories. My caloric intake before a show is 800-1,000 calories higher than off-season It comes to 3,500 off-season, 4,500 pre contest." -Lee Haney

Makes a lot of sense to me, not sure what happened, but the new tactic of increasing the cals off season and then dieting into the show seems counterintuitive. Just think about it...

Lee haney completed at 245 and weighed 260 in the off season so he kept very close to his contest weight and was always in shape, these days you have bodybuilders who complete at 250 and weighs 300 pounds in the off season, I think in this age there is an obsession with 300 pounds, I have gotten obsessed with that weight myself and I am stuffing myself with food to get there you can call it bigorexia I guess.

LOL.

I don't understand how one would be able to get into contest condition with 4,500 calories, but obviously it worked for Lee.  Jeff King said that there was a point where he was at, I believe, 900 calories per day leading up to a contest.

The body does not need as much food as you think most of us eat more than what the body needs, I know 150 pound guys who will eat 6000 calories to get big you are just shitting out your money, I remember when I was eating 6 times daily then I had a week that I was very busy and could only eat 3 times per day I was worried that I was going to lose weight but when I weighed myself I weighed the same.

Unreal, he must have been incredibly out of shape, way behind schedule, or metabolically fucked..because that should be the caloric intake for a person that weighs 60 pounds.

i ate 800 calories per day for 2 weeks straight and my bodyfat went down from 12% to 7.5% and i lost 7.5 pounds of fat and only 1.5 pounds of muscle in this 2 week period and this was without gear

Haney was and is, as full of shit and himself as any other drug aided bodybuilder.  Recall the Weider video (more  "commercial" really) where he stated that he didn't "take no stayroids, just good food and Weider supplements".

Doesn't mean he wasn't smart with his approach to dieting, and how many professional athletes do you know who just flat out admit to taking steroids, it would be career suicide, the only one I can think of is Jose Canseco and that's after MLB banned him.

I suppose one cannot blame him, but he's still a lying sack of shit on that and more than likely on his approach to dieting as well.  Just add more drugs was probably the real "secret".

Nah.  I blame him.  ;D

What would be his motivation to lie?? Lie to the 16 year old aspiring bodybuilder, "look kids, eat less when you're less active, eat more when you're more active" or to troll his fellow competitiors, "hey guys I stay in shape in my offseason and train less, so when I up my training regimine, I also up my calories" why would he lie? Drugs I understand but what benefits does he gain off lying about his diet?

These people are prone to hiding the truth of their "success" because they fear someone will take and use it against them no matter how simplistic it may actually be.

At a competition weight of 248 that's only 18 calories per pound of bodyweight, and off season 13.5 calories per pound of bodyweight at 260, which isn't really high by all means.

I eat a LOT when I want to gain size but I have come to accept that my body fat goes up too. I have been 20% to 24% and feel fine but my waistline looks awful.  I will never have a six pack.  Never.  I just want to look fairly good and be able to move some slightly heavier than normal objects in my dotage.  ;D

Eating that much sucks so I will often drink a few quarts of chocolate milk for the extra calories (approx. 940 per bottle).  My ego gets the better of me, but there are times I will diet down and I look the same, only smaller.  9.7% body fat at 167 lbs.  It was awful.  

And still no six pack...Dammit!  ;D

Which is why it's all drugs for these guys.  Drugs are the difference.  Yes, genetics make a difference too but anyone on dope gets bigger and stronger, quicker and easier.  The whole "eat clean" thing for them is probably whether or not it dropped on the floor and did they up the one second rule to five seconds.  ;D

i did that many years ago and basically all i ate for those 14 days was protein power in water for breakkie and my second meal with chicken breasts

it was almost all protien and pure hell, i remember pumping gas at the gas station and i was sure that i was gonna pass the fuck out

after about 3 days in i was basically in a daze for 10 days and i felt like i smoked a huge bag of weed every damn day lol

Well Phil Heath, competes at around 250 and states his offseason diet is anywhere between 5,000-8,000 cal depending on the day, compare that to Haney's 3,500 cals offseason, just to put some thing in perspective here.

Exactly the term for that is malnourishment, which will also lead to terrible imbalances in your hormonal environment, which will then lead you to binge, then crash diet, pretty much leaving you with an eating disorder and a dependency on steroids to help your hormones operate normally.

He just jacked up the doseage come pre contest. Obviously didn't want to push it too hard all year which is why he wasn't so heavy. Once Arnie was the best he weighed like 180 year round.

yep, but if you only do it for 2 weeks youll be ok

genetics determine health bro, and diet has less than 10% influnce on it imho

Which seems like the right approach, why pros started doing the opposite, I'm not sure.

I wouldn't want to eat 800 calories for 2 days let alone 2 weeks, do you understand that is the caloric consumption of a 55 pound person, anyone who has "good genetics" would never have to restrict calories to that level.

Yes, the body wants to heal itself and will correct.

Some people fast too, eating barely anything for a few days. Some claim health benefits from it too.

sorry, Im talking about the ones who come up with the huge calorie quotes.
The human digestive system couldnt cope with that amount of food on a regular basis.

I think the 4500 for a pro bodybuilder is about right.

Ok heres an example, im a top tier pro, everyone of my competition is listening and reading my strategies for dieting, and im scared they will discover my formula and use it themselves and beat me..i would lie like this
Meal 1: 2 Greek yogurts, 2 scoops of raw honey, 1 cup granola
2: pre workout: 1 chocolate milk, 2 banana, 2 scoop peanut butter
Meal 3: same as meal 2, just no peanut butter (anabolic window want quick carbs no fat),  add 1 scoop whey isolate
Meal 4: 4oz ground beef, pasta
Meal 5: 4oz ground turkey, 1 cup black beans, .5cup wild rice
Meal6: 12 oz of kefir (to aid digestion) half cup cottage cheese (caesien slow digesting) mix with 1 scoop peanut butter

Now in reality i consume no dairy, no beans, and no peanut butter, however this sounds like it can be believable right..thats what i call trolling. Not saying i eat 5,000 cal of lean meat, complex carbs, and greens.

Yeah...Pretty  much that's it in a nutshell.  They lie. About everything.   Nothing to do with those of us that realize they're liars being paranoid, it's the bodydopers who are paranoid.

They're looking for the edge. An advantage over their dental floss wearing competitors.   It can be real or imagined, so long as someone believes their tripe.

In this 10 week period you never felt the need to question your coach regarding this protocol? He didn't see that you were turning into a meatball? He should have never let you get over 14% bf.

good point but he was this fella so he is kinda known in this field even has an exercise named after him ie, the JM Press

Lol..I think the first problem is hiring a coach who is a power lifter, unless that was your goal? Was your goal with this diet to compete in power lifting?

i competed in bp comps at the time and also did some physique modelling

he told me that one of my gifts was my ability to reach strong conditioning

its likely he just wanted someone to talk to.

it was a strange exchange btw us coz we both mostly liked to talk about ourselves LOL

he called himself an alpha male and he said quite a few funny things

like one time another friend of mine was talking bout some bodybuilder and JM said "who?" "never heard of him?" "what's he bench?" and my friend said his bench and then he replied "i'm not impressed!" all in a very strong and authoritative voice  ;D LOL

I don't think that anyone should have to admit the use steroids (take illegal drugs). I don't have any problem with Haney denying that he uses. What I do have a problem with is anyone purposely denying it when not even asked. Hey look at me I'm a 240 pounds ripped natural.  ::)

If Lee went down in weight after a show and I'm not talking about his rebound right after when he went to 260 I'm talking about coming off drugs and the intense lifting then yes he would likely consume a lot less calories when he was in the "off" season. So when he was back on and into his Olympia training he would up the calories because he not only was more active but he needed them to get back the muscle he lost while off. Also keep in mind that he most likely dropped his calories as the show got closer. So this may mean that he was coming close again to his off season calorie consumption.

If Lee ate about 4K cals and Phil eats about almost double that then can anyone tell me why he would "need" the extra calories? HINT: they are mostly in the form of carbs.

I never understand why bodybuilders stuff themselves with carbs its not needed, your body use carbs for energy and its stored in your muscles as glycogen for future use so you dont need an excessive amount, you should be taking in lots of protein, vegetables and healthy fats because that is what the body uses to repair itself.

I know plenty of guys who use 10 ius of slin per meal at 6 meals a day and that's about average. That's gonna come to about 3k extra minimum in carb cals.

That is because wheat is addictive, back in the 1970s when they genetically modified wheat in the usa to make more money they modified a protein in there called gliadin which fucks with your brain make you hungry and hooked on carbs, that is what gives you the desire for cakes, pizza burgers etc now when you combined that with the addictive refined sugar its no wonder america has an obesity crisis.

Dieting on high carbs wont work unless you have a fast metabolism if not you will hold a lot of water and look smooth and bloated, your diet should consist of high protein and vegetables medium healthy fats and carbs and some saturated fats and if your metabolism is very slow then low carbs, I personally would avoid wheat as a carbs source and use instead potatoes,yam, brown rice  old fashion oats and quinoa.

anyone weight 230lb lean tissue and eating over 5000 cals is going to get fat real quick, unless they are doing lots of cardio.
the body cant process food that fast, you would just get fat and have huge shits.

This^^^Sure the amounts of HGH they take daily has changed the game quite a bit on the amount of cals they can now take in compared to the 70's,80's and even 90's but they are not eating 5000+cals leading up to a show. It's 3000 to 4500. And it's only that much because of the amount of HGH/Slin they use. Drop those two things out of their daily activity and they are dieting no different than the guys from the 70's-80's. Which is anything from 1000-2500cals.

I have nothing but don't-give-an-intercourse-for-him.


Here to provide the balance that is the truth.  He was as much a worthless, lying, druggie as any other Mr. Olympia.

Sounds like you pulled that number out of your butthole which jacking off to bob paris posing, calories is not that important what is important is the amount of carbs you stuff into your body, too much and your body stores it as fat, its better to lower the carbs and take in protein, vegetables and healthy fats, remember that when you go to the gym you damage your muscle and the body needs protein vitamins and minerals to repair, carbs dont build muscle it just gives you energy.

Lee haney completed at 245 and weighed 260 in the off season so he kept very close to his contest weight and was always in shape, these days you have bodybuilders who complete at 250 and weighs 300 pounds in the off season, I think in this age there is an obsession with 300 pounds, I have gotten obsessed with that weight myself and I am stuffing myself with food to get there you can call it bigorexia I guess.

Haney competed in his 250's several times (259 being his highest Mr. O bodyweight in 1991 I believe) and his offseason weight was 260-265 pounds, so yes, he didn't stray very far at all from his competition weight.

I wasn't sure which year it was that he came in close to 260 pounds. Thanks for clarifying ;-)

Interesting to note that he was a mere 230 pounds at his first Mr. O in 1983.
