Though not the best arms (but underrated), Haney had one of the best FDB ever. That torso is almost unmatched to this day.

What always strikes me the most about Haney is that if you look at him in detail he has many flaws or to be more precise certain parts are lacking comparing to others. But the overall look has a great flow and he was really transitional in bringing more muscle mass to the game while keeping the foundations of a classic physique somehow. Great pics.

Very well said!! :)
Wait for it....

no!!.. i watched the whole video of Mr. olympia 1991 and everytime yates was hitting the RLS there was something wrong with his left lat!!.. may be an injury which was recovered later as his lat looked ok in 92 and after!!..

when i was 10 or may be a little less i saw a pic. of lee haney and i couldn't believe anyone could be like this.. i still remember this pic. as if it was yesterday!!.. pics like this were one of the reasons i started to train, other reasons include rocky's movies (especially the training scenes before his fights) ;D;D;D..

really great memories and days run much faster than we feel!!..

I thought you say pics of my grandpa got you motivated.  ;D I would say alot of bodybuilders got started like that mine was pics of Arnold.

Great photos, thanks nolotil and everyone else.
One thing I don't get is why a lot of people call him the most overrated Mr olympia or say he wasnt that good.
Haney was amazing and dominated his era. Maybe his arms were a little weak compared to his torso in his last years, but that is it.

imo lee deserved all his wins unlike dorian and ronnie and may be arnold also!!.. some say that labrada deserved to beat him in 1990 but when i watched the video, no and no and a big NO!!.. it was not even close, haney was there then came the others.. yes he looked flat comparing to his other victories but still he was clearly better than the others on that day!!..

thx for the link J. Cole, i didnt know it was on youtube!!..

a question to lee's big fans, which show is considered his best ever??.. 1991 mr. olympia or he was better in any other year?..

i think 91,, and he could have gotten even better,,,amazing pecs and back and he did bring up legs and arms ,,..

On the contrary Lee was very close to Haney in 1990

Haney and Yates were the best bodybuilders to ever place 1st and 2nd in the same show ('91 Olympia).  Imagine if Haney had competed for 2 more years and developed more of a rivalry with Yates.  I always thought that Lee could have stepped his game up even more like he did in '91.
