Lee Haney - the greatest Mr. O of all time!

[Pet shop boys]

True. Arnold is still the King he could have won the O 10 more years prime genetics and mind a lethal combination.

I will go as far to say that Arnold was the only Mr.Olympia that never reached his full potential!! he wanted out of bodybuilding by age 27 (1974 )  he would have been even better had he no retire in 75.... Imagine what his physique would have been in his early to mid 30's competing non stop... that's like 12 /15 tittles right there !!!!

Just think Ronnie won his first one at age 34 !


WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH

One thing that stands out about Haney; he recieved praise from Arnold, Yates, and Ronnie. 3 different Mr Olympia champions from 3 different era's.

Arnold said (back in 1991) that at first, he did not like the idea that Haney broke his Olympia record. But after Arnold thought about it, he said that he felt great about it because Lee was such a great person, role model, and representitive of the sport. Arnold was quick to hand out compliments to Haney.

Several years later Arnold dissed Yates saying that Dorian was not a great representive for the sport.

haney's calves were good for a black man and were ok in general..

haney's calves were good for a black man and were ok in general..

True, he is a class dude met him more than once very humble and cares about people overall attitude and physique maybe the best ever if you consider those factors.

i didnt say lee was not nice . but his calves were not as good as were those of many others like vince taylor or even sergio. . in bodybuilding calves were a prime muscle for leg impact . thighs are less important . but they forgot this a bit .

True on calves, how did Chris Dickerson win Mr O with no upper body great calves. If close the judges will go with calf development or any other small thing that will give someone the edge in the decision.

lee had an amazing taper though . great midsection .
