How did Lee Haney won 8 Olympia titles ?!

[pumpster]

          Haney is one of my top 3 favorite bb's, and I will say that Haney's peak condition will not compare to Coleman at his best. And even if Haney would have taken the same drugs and amounts that Coleman did, he still probably would not match Coleman's totall package around 1998.

           But we don't really know. Haney's arm would have never matched Coleman's, no matter what drugs he was on.

In a nutshell, from a Haney admirer who sees clearly. The only things he left out were Haney's mediocre thighs.

I am checking some Youtube videos right now and I don't see how nobody was able to beat this guy for 8 years

his legs were so fucking small compared to his torso that it looks ridiculous

weak arms as well

Exactly. This speaks to Weider's power to claim legitimacy when there wasn't much in many shows. That and the fact that there were no clear superior competitors to make it more obvious.

[pumpster]

I'm not sure that his arms are quite as bad as people claim.

His arms looked ok in certain poses that mask the deficiency, like the one you posted.

Arms a joke and one of the worst ever MMs, comparable to Yates' MM.

[pumpster]

Thats because he's a troll

Translation: the truth causes me daily meltdowns, furiously typing from my basement.

His arms look great. Lee Haney was one of the greatest ever bodybuilders, period. He deserved all his Olympias as he was head and shoulders above the competition. This is why none of the guys how competed against him moan about how they should have won. He won by miles. His physique killed everybody else's.  The guy had mass and aesthetics in a way not seen again until Nasser.

Coleman was given many gifts : against Flex Wheeler and certainly against Jay Cutler. In fact it's crazy that Flex and Nasser never won the Olypmpia when the disgusting Yates was so weak and his hideous tattooed body was so weak. Now he was given gifts but not Haney, no way. Haney is the only uncontroversial Mr O in all of time. Even Arnold's were questioned by some. Not Haney, the best champion of all time.

Nasser and aesthetics in the same sentence!  Priceless!  Funniest thing I've read all day!

With regard to Haney and controversy, I guess you never saw the 1990 Olympia, huh?  Easily could have gone to Labrada.  And I'm a huge Haney fan, one of my all time top 5.

[Sharma]

HAHA Flea Labrada could never win an O. He was way too small and skinny.

Yes Nasser and aesthetics. He was the only mass monster to also have beautiful lines and a flowing physique.

Stick to fake wrestling as your bodybuilding knowledge is very lacking.

Speak on this mofos, what was so impressive about this guy ?

its the overall look of his physique. it just flows with awesomeness.   theres nothing freaky or huge or even overly conditioned about haney....   but the way his body looked as a whole is what set him apart.

if you don't understand what was so great about Labrada's physique you shouldn't be throwing stones at other posters.  No weak bodyparts and everything on him was outstanding.

Nasser didn't have "beautiful lines".  Up to 1995, he had a good clean look with a tight waist.  From 1996 on, his gut was out of hand and his back lost detail with each passing year.

I'm not the only one that said Labrada could have won in 90, there were plenty within the industry that said it before I ever did.  But what do I know?  Here, basking in the light of your superior bodybuilding knowledge, my flaws are as obvious as the bulbous waist of your used clothing-selling hero...

Nice physique but he was too small. He was all quality and NO quantity. Haney had both, same with Nasser.

With no mass you don't win the O. Read up on it and look at the winners. No mass = no Sandow.

Sorry but that is how it is. Haney blowed him away.

Go easy on him.  He's overdosed on his smug.

"Sharma"...

"Nasser = teh great.  Everyone that doesn't think so = teh racist."

Once again, your superior bodybuilding knowledge has served you well.  This is evidenced by the 3-year reign of the original mass monster, Frank Zane.

LMFAO Zane is a dinosaur now. that a different time and era. it has been the era of the mass monster and your boy labrada had no mass whatsoever.

Are you sure about that "Triple-H 2005" ?

First pic is 99, second is 97, and third I believe is 97 (or 98)

Great post bobs, as usual. Nasser was superb in all this years this triple H claims he deteriorating. Good enough to win the Arnold and win the Olympia (stolen off him by the disgusting, fat tattooed former racist Yates)

what does yates being a racist have to do with bodybuilding?  they don't judge you on that.....

[TrueGrit]

Well that was good. Another thread turned into 'Coleman vs Yates' and 'Nasser was great'. 

[Triple-H_2005]

LMFAO Zane is a dinosaur now. that a different time and era. it has been the era of the mass monster and your boy labrada had no mass whatsoever.

You said "look at the winners".  Arnold, Franco and Sergio all came before Zane, and were much larger.

If you're going to make qualifying statements, be specific.

Yes, I'm sure.  Show him from the back in successive years and you'll see a decrease in back detail.  Very slight in 96-99, but quickly downhill after that.  And if you post those pics next to his 94-95 pics, you'll see his waist did indeed grow quite a bit.

And why the " around my screen name.  It's a screen name!  Is Bigbobs the given name on your birth certificate?

[bigbobs]

Wrong again, here's his back in 97, much better than it was in 95.  I dont have the pic scanned but there was a rear double-biceps pose of his from the 95 Olympia in Flex magazine where his back detail was not close to what it is here.  In this pose he's even beating the racist-tattoed bodybuilder who was known for his back.

[Triple-H_2005]

Now post 96, 98 & 99 nest to it like I said.

And no, BOB, he isn't beating Dorian.

Good job hijacking another thread, BTW.

[NarcissisticDeity]

but Yates DIDN'T have a better side chest than this:

Once again your own hero disagrees 

Ronnie Coleman : DESCRIBE DORIAN YATES: A close friend. Dorian is very intelligent, a great Mr. Olympia. He had the best side-chest pose and the thickest freakiest back I have ever seen.


owned

run along and play now

[bigbobs]

It's not just me who thinks he is, the majority of getbiggers....this pic has already been posted on a new thread and most people agreed that Nasser is beating Dorian in that pic.  Any non-delusional guy would agree.  Nasser has a much more pronounced taper than Dorian there, bigger legs, bigger/rounder/more detailed arms and delts, more ripped hamstrings, etc.
