in his early days haney really had a very "casual " look in the gym, old torn up clothing, barefoot, hair was long... Seen a few pics from time he was a new pro of the same

In the late 80s he started wearing spandex and tank tops like everyone else, and later, the animal kingdom stuff

can we rename Glod's the Ass Mecca? It would be a better fit both then and now.

Cmon Sev, we all know you're a fan of the ass mecca in the old days as well

Doesn't mean you have to wear paperbag shoes, or daisy dukes to be a fan

Platz squatting back in the day

I think that in retrospect, squatting heavy like this is dangerous and a waste of time..not worth the potential for injury

man the golden eagle got robbed at the 81 olympia, franco was a great bodybuilder and i mean no disrespect towards him but platz smoked him in that show. franco legs where down and franco had mad bitch tits also. the franco of 75 was a different story cause he was on the money back then and a force

Its a pity a friend of platz's didn't promote the show

Or that platz didn't have a friend with pull in high places (like judging panels)

Platz was clearly superior
