Frank Zane or Lee Haney ?
« on: June 08, 2015, 07:27:41 AM »
What I've seen so far is that the most popular bodybuilders are ..

1 Arnold Schwarzenegger
2 Ronnie Coleman
3 Dorian Yates
4 Frank Zane


And probably  people has more respect/admiration for Frank's built than the rest .

I don't hear or see as many pics of Haney..... Am I wrong ?

If so, are you more of a fan of Lee Haney's build than Zane ?

Should Lee Haney be top 4 and not Zane?





WoooSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Good Observation . Haney, for being an 8x Mr. Olympia, rarely gets discussed here. Very strange.

We need a getbigger to do some investigating to find out the reason why.

Haney didn't talk shit. Wasn't addicted to painkillers. He took breaks from juice. Married his high school sweetheart. Consistent. Honerable. Humble. Good father.


I guess people consider that boring.

I think many people interpret Zane as an underdog and he gets a lot of respect in that regard. Haney dominated save for '90

haney is kinda weird for me, im a fan of him as far as his training etc but as far as physique goes... no

kinda like chris cormier, he placed pretty high a number of years but never was a fan of his physique either.

i prefer someone like serge nubret

Lee Haney is the only multi Olympia winner that dominated the lineup.
His last Olympia was his best ever condition.

WHEN people say it was close,that pic show's you how apart they were lee was still fuller/better shape,yates at that time when he posed he popped with all kinds freaky muscularity,haney relaxed was still huge.yates after that took it to the next level.

Was the 1st time haney was pushed close, and that was dorians 2nd pro show...

Haney is a different level to Zane, photos of Zane would have never inspired me to start bodybuilding

I had that contest on VHS 90 O. Christian and Labrada destroyed Haney. Christian should have won, Labrada 2nd ,Haney should have been 3rd at most.

Yes that's a good assessment.
Not haney's best year.

Otherwise Lee had a fantastic physique,
One of the best ever.
Comes across as a humble, decent man.

true...I watched a clip from that show the other day,,the top 6 considering a drug test lol,,,they still looked like pro's,even 10/15 pct off size ans or condition they looked pretty hard'no homo'lean'they lost that fullness/sharpness .deep etching standing relaxed ,the fuller traps,it was still a joke the testing.it was a one off to appease the drug act soon to be in effect 1991 controlled substance and weider to say see look we are 'clean'

Could you imagine if they drug tested today?  100% of them would look like absolute shit.  Worse than 1990 by far.

Ahh yes that would make for interesting viewing.
Those that do actually train hard & have muscle maturity & density
Vs those that are all Drugs.
