Don't flatter yourself and compare what you may have done with all that Haney has achieved. As he gives two shits what you and I think? lol.. Look at the scoreboard he's got the runs on the board and his self esteem would be just fine with his physique appearing "normal"..

Why are you getting upset? lol I just think it's weird, IMO.

Trust me, I know. I've gone from a pretty extreme physique to what I have now. But I still look like I workout at least, I don't think I could ever let it get to the point people don't think I workout. But more power to him if he simply doesn't give a shit, just find it weird his mentality could work like that being an ex mr. o.

As you get older, views/perspective and things change, what felt more important than anything before (for example looking big while out on the town) may not feel as important anymore.

He's got it made, won the titles and enjoying life afterward..Who wouldn't want to be this way? Rather than still on 1g test plus orals for not a fucking reason in the world.
No!  >:( I expect Haney to be 250lb and at least 5%bf at any given time! I dont care if he's 51!

Just like if Bill Kazmaier sees a refrigeration repair company working, I expect him to take a fridge and run with it...
And if Carl Lewis is running late, he must get out the car and run to wherever...
If Tiger drives past a minigolf range, he must get out the car, and show the guy how its done. And get his girl's nr...

Its a career. When you retire, you done. Not everybody is like Bill Grant, Lou and Draper. Some guys just have other priorities. Besides, he looks alrite there.
But, its depressing... :'( feels like just other day he did 8 in a row

Because there's more to his life than his physique. And considering he's a former Mr. America, Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia, I don't think Haney needs any more validation in his life.

Plus, he's found different things to do. He's a minister and runs a ranch to help underprivileged kids.

I understand where Flexb is coming from so I don't know why everyone is trying to tear him down.
In regards to Haney, it also may have something to do with the fact that he couldn't handle it without the drugs and is unwilling to train as he probably has never trained without it. Not saying this is the case, but....
I have not seen him directly after his career (maybe he continued to workout then?) so maybe this is just a case of getting older and not caring anymore as that would be fairly normal.

 Sometimes people just stop giving a fuck about being ripped and huge and they decide to just be healthy and focus on other hobbies and goals.

 Some of you all are way too obsessed with this weight lifting game.

 I've been through phases of my life where I stopped trying to bodybuild. Because I was backpacking in different countries or focusing on other sports and hobbies. Nothing wrong with that. Bodybuilding is an awesome thing to do, but there are other awesome things you can do in life.

Yea, the year I started working out is the last year he won a title. I ordered that '91 Olympia and watched it  every night for an entire summer it feels like. That's when BB seemed like magic  :D

LMFAO! Spot on. Way to judge a legend wearing street clothes. Maybe he's ripped just not big. As far as former Mr. O's go he looks fine, healthy and enjoying life. At least you dont see him with a fat gut in a speedo like Arnold, everyone's hero(mine too). Dorian looks older than Lee and Arnold and he's only in his 40's and Ronnie is still juiced to the max with a 48" waistline. Haney wins

 Where's your pic? Post it up right now in this thread, let's see it.

 I think I look alright for a lifetime natural. I look good enough to get compliments fairly often. I've got decent mass and cuts.

 I posted that pic because there's a lot more to my life than bodybuilding. I'm just having fun with it. I'm not some egomaniac with an inferiority complex like many around here. Some of you all truely sound like macho idiots with little man syndrome to the fullest.

Who said Haney stopped working out? HELLO!!! The man has an exercise show, which runs locally in the Atlanta area.

He simply doesn't compete anymore (he's only been retired for nearly 20 years). Haney's last Olympia came when he was in his early 30s.

Nearly everything that would-be bodybuilders hope to accomplish Haney has done, ten times over.

Now, it's on to other things. His son, Joshua, just graduated from the Citadel. His daughter, Olympia (yes, that's her real name) is in college now. She was in diapers, the last time Haney won a Sandow.

He doesn't look like he works out with weights, with all due respect to him. lol But it's not about what he looks like now really, it's about what he did look like when he tried. Dude is my favorite Mr. O of all time

Wasn't he President Bush's (41) National Chairman on Physical Fitness, back in the day?

Because he's perpetuating the stereotype of bodybuilders being insecure, arrested adolescents.

You don't have to be huge to look like you workout. But as I said, obviously he doesn't care and more than anybody has the right to look however he wants. When I'm 51, I'm going to be massive! LOL joke

He runs a fitness TV show, mini-camp, and radio show. Somehow, I don't think people wonder if Haney works out.

wtf. Having a passion to workout and look like you workout isn't always about insecurities. I never said Haney SHOULD look huge still. I just said he doesn't look like he workouts anymore or cares about it obviously and that to me is weird. That isn't knocking him, he doesn't look like he workouts anymore in that first pic -- fact. Obviously the person who started this thread thought that too or there wouldn't be a discussion. Haney was an idol of mine and none of us will accomplish even a tenth of the success he had but so what, that's not the point.

I think some of you try a little too hard to jump on the wagon to try and argue a moot point. Sorry for saying Haney doesn't look like he workouts,  :o how dare I say that ::)

99.9% of people who look that above, Citadel, pic of Haney see an in-shape guy who works out and looks much younger than his true age. You probably only hang out with bodybuilders. So, your perspective is warped.

Intelligent man that's obviously moved on with life, past injecting himself with hormones at 50+ years old... Dorian....well Dorian looks worse then ever even though he's still gassing hard, and nasser..I won't even go there..

Lee Haney is retired 20 or so years now,what would be the point of staying on gear
