Lee Haney - How overlooked is he?

[Lion666]

that vid pstd bfor, ray intrview haney prt2, startd gettin cool,, got to thinkin,,, how ovrlooked is lee haney?

250ish, 1st "mass mopnster" consistantly beat out,"better" taperd, lines cuts etc.. guys... yet haney had the small waist, incredibly small by people meeting him in person at his peak.  talk is always about ronnie dorian,,, how does haney really stack up.  he was prob last one to be rite in mid of mass and aesthetics... a guy who genuinely seemingly liked to train...

just dont see ppl sayn they think haney best ever..  top 3-5 mr o of all times hes in but y not the best ever?
haney v dorian,, or haney v ronnie,,  how much does haney really get outmassed???

I think Haney maybe was the best ever - he was very consistent (except for the 1990 drug-tested Mr. O). We have to remember that Haney didn't bulk up like today's bodybuilders. thats why there are not that many freak-pictures of hanye. He was at his biggest right before, or at, the competition. But, if you take a look at the videos of the Mr.o's like for instance the 1984 or the 1987...or 88...or 1991, he looks fantastic and simply makes every other bodybuilder look 'small'. Even Dorian, though not at his prime, was outclassed.

Haney didn't have the biggest arms, but his FDB must be among the best ever.

How come all the guys from back then had huge thick pecs? was it the training? was it the illusion due to "underdeveloped" delts?

good point regarding delts

chests thicker, more striated, they had actual taper

Haney was close to what he could achieve mass-wise, in order to get his legs bigger, he would've had to sacrifice his waist, in order to get bigger arms would've had to start packing on size sacrificing shape/conditioning...

Haney doesn't get near the respect he deserves...it fucking sucks cause really, he's the last Mr. O that was appealing to the public...

Yates- too big and freaky
Ronald - too big and freaky
Jay - short and a list of flaws that I'm not typing
Dex - midget.


Haney was big but not too big, people say he had small legs but really they weren't.  He was able to wear jeans and not look like a fucking clown with 30+inch legs.
Haney and Arnold have the ideal physiques...The only knock on Haney is that I think his arms could have been bigger...other than that perfect IMO.

but could his arms have been bigger? At what cost? more size, and that would've messed it up

Im sure he tried to keep them in check with the huge, thick torso, but not genetically the best arms ala ronnie

Lee is a true champion in every sense

an incredible human being and dedicated family man

Haney's back is unreal...His Lats in particular are bigger than any Mr. O ...
