Frank Zane or Lee Haney ?

1989-1979

[hench]

Makes me laugh when people say zane had a swimmers physique. I haven't seen a swimmer close to having his build,  quality muscle carved to perfection

Sick pic of Haney. Look at that taper.

1989-1979

Funny looking back - The day after this competition Wayne Demilia (Top IFBB guy at the time) told me Haney had too much muscle on his frame. Said he hoped he would lose a bit and tighten up next year as he had taken his bodybuilding too far .....

[hipolito mejia]

Sick pic of Haney. Look at that taper.

And waist looks smaller than Zanes despite being taller and heavier.   

[Wiggs]

Haney is clearly crushing Zane. It's not even close.

[thatrandomguy#7]

They both appeal to gay men.
The whole genre of Hercules / Gladiator films of the 50's and 60's were gay porn. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it was so blatant they spoofed  it in Airplane. This is why Reeves is so popular.

does that make movies like Predator the gay porn of the 80s?

[The Scott]

Sick pic of Haney. Look at that taper.

Yeah.   Here's his taper.  FTN.



Haney is nowhere near as perfect as Zane.  He should have lost two or three of his SchmOelympias to Labrada.  I will say this, Haney is a better O than Dicksuckerson.

Lee "good food and Weider supplements and no stay-roids" Haney.

FTN.

[Desolate]

We go through this ad nauseam.

It is always Zane vs. somebody.

Most of the time it is bodybuilders who have no right to the comparison.

Haney vs. Zane.

If you want to be bigger, you want to be Haney.

If you want to be smaller, but more detailed and complete, you want to be Zane.

Who would be more appealing to the general public?

Zane.

What look would pull more (and better quality) pussy, facial features and race notwithstanding?

Zane.

In fact, if bodybuilding really had a following today, and Zane was the current Mr. Olympia, I dare say that with his intelligence and charisma there is a good chance he'd be a mainstream celebrity.

And to close, these two guys are multiple Mr. Olympia winners. They both have most likely enjoyed good personal lives. They've made money and lived well. I doubt either cares what a bunch of guys on the GetBig forums think about them.

Who would win in a bodybuilding contest ?

Haney.



WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 

[Pet shop boys]

I don't necessarily agree that emphasis should be put on "who pulls the most pussy" but even if Haney may win in a bodybuilding contest, Zane's physique is still very commendable.

Exactly !!!!  Bodybuilding is not about "who can pull the most amount of pussy "  never was, never will be ..... If it was, Bob Paris would have beat them both by a lot ! ...


But we know better 



WooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH   LE VRO KNEEEEEEEs

[be back]

Haney may win but not just because he's the bigger guy. I would say that Zane is more streamlined overall but Haney still brings quality aesthetics with more mass on a bigger frame, a great back, etc. Even though he's bigger, he still has those aesthetic qualities that classic bodybuilding is all about. Zane would still beat many a big guy if they didn't have those aesthetic bodybuilding qualities.

Haneys legs from the back always made him look knock kneed.

[BSN]

Berry was great then 

[Taffin]

Haha!  Strydom hitting that pose like he's never done it before lol    DeMey showing them both how it should be done there

[hench]

And Strydom getting destroyed by both
 

No matter how a pose is done, to as correctly aesthetic as possible, if the person doesn't have the muscle compared to their competitor... they won't win. DeMey easily loses that pose to Haney, even though DeMey is hitting it better.

Not entirely- Haneys back Very Good - Lower body in that pose goes to Berry
Condition & detail Berry
Overall in that pose it’s very close

Clearly you are not a bodybuilding judge.

[Wiggs]

Let's see Haney 8 Mr. Os.  No gut, vacuum, the last great Mr. Olympia, has his health, incredible ambassador. It's laughable that this is even a thread. Haney vs. Zane. Lolololololololol. Only you pale males could suggest such an absurd comparison. Zane looks good but Haney is the pinnacle of physique development.

Agreed.  My eye is drawn to DeMey in this comparison.  Berry's lower back with its striated Christmas tree is also miles ahead of the other two.

It's a shame that Berry's bodybuilding career was cut short by his pec tear. 

[Nether Animal]

I don't even think Strydom has finished hitting it yet, but yes he sucks terribly in that pose and overdieted that year.

'91 WBF. He has an arm/delt dominant build anyway, I think from the front, at his best, he more than made up for it.

[Taffin]

Sure, I was being a tool about it, he's clearly just about to 'fold out'.....  just not by much....

No argument about that from me (or Vince).

(inserts 25 year old gif)

[BSN]

WBF was a joke. The places were given in order of each contract value.

[Pet shop boys]

Frank Zane is the prime example of a FATED individual ....

In 1977 Franco, Mr.O champ is out with a bad knee injury

Lou Ferrigno walks away at age 25 to do the HUlk tv series.

Serge Nubret is banned from competing IFBB

Arnold has retired two year earlier not even age 30 !!!

Sergio Oliva is at war with the Weiders so out of the picture too.


In other words, Frank would have been lucky to crack top 6 in 1977  , yet he ended up winning the Mr.O the reamining of the decade .



WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

All True

Though None of it was anything to do with him
He took his chances & competed like the other who competed
And he was judged the winner

Yes what could have been for the others

I would actually give that pose to Berry due to being more complete top to bottom,better detail and condition etc.

[Desolate]

Who would win in a bodybuilding contest ?

Haney.

WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  

Yes, he would.

But most of the male population would prefer to look like Zane.

Most women would prefer their guy have a Zane-like physique, not a Haney-like one.

The topic is about the popularity of certain bodybuilders, not who would win in a bodybuilding contest between them.

Pay attention.
