One of my favorite bodybuilding pictures, seriously that picture should make you want to lift.
Ah, yes. Posing while standing on top of a steaming manhole.

the only difference btw those two pics is that he's much leaner and drier in the second pic, also he may have lost a bit of leg size as well, otherwise he's the same

Haney is the greatest IMO. Ronnie was AWESOME, but no Haney

OMG! Yeah - Flex!

And also add Waller and Mentzer too...guys I forgot from the 70s. Lots of guys actually came pretty close on their first try...Heath almost did it too...not quite second place.

Don't know 1988, but 87 at World Champs he was a middleweight, so 176 or under, looked very similar

1990 he was 172

1991 he was 187

Even though Haney was the daddy for 8 years he would not have been winning the Olympia after 1991 without an xmas tree, striated glutes, hamstrings and better calf development. I'm sorry but it would not have happened.

I've always thought that's what made him smart, knowing when to bow out gracefully, and on top

IMO what did he have to prove? He beat Arnold record.
If Haney had conpeted during Yates era with the same drugs and everything else, Haney would have beat him then too. Same goes if hed conpeted in Ronnies era.

IMO, if you put anyone in haney's era, he wins

And i can imagine him in yates' era, but the full on total chemical warfare, incl slin and seo of the 00s, is difficult to see him doing well. How would haney have looked with a gut?

lee's back condition in the 80s and early 90s never reached dorian's back hardness at its best so it's difficult to imagine haney was going to present a bigger and better version if he kept competeing in dorian's era.. i think the extra weigh was going to take more from his condition.. even in 91 when lee's back was better than dorian's still dorian's was harder..

also haney's very best was in 1991 and dorian's best was in 1993 so we are not talking about differnt times,.. only 2 years!!.. what superior drugs appered in these 2 years!!!.. and dorian of 93 could esily beat haney of 91..

Slin, larger doses of synthetic gh, seo, larger doses of anabolics

I'm not kidding myself, haney obviously took a shitload of whatever he could anabolic wise, and probably experimented with growth

He was less tan 5% better than 1991. 1993 is where Dorian became Dorian. 1997 was when Dorian left the building as he knew his time was short.


1993 was the end for bodybuilding. Haney was the last champion that wasn't bloated. Dorian lacks the detail to beat Haney, although his back is probably better.

You give Haney GH, Tren and Masteron you are looking at a different physique.
