Overall, I'd say Haney is my favourite Mr. Olympia titleholder.

When mass standards began to become greater, unfavourable aesthetics presented more and more.

Lee held his considerable size VERY well and he had excellent proportions and balance.

On a side note, I had the good fortune to have enjoyed an evening "on the town" with the man. Without question he is one of bodybuilding's best representatives. Lee is well spoken, friendly, approachable, and warm. He has a quick smile and is easy going.

I only have great things to say about Mr. Haney.

I think Haney is about to as big as a man can get from a muscular point of view before aesthetics begin to decline. Haney is amazing, and his retirement and the advent of Dorian Yates began the mass monster at all costs era.

Dorian at 239 pounds in 1991 had 0 gut. I wonder if he was taking insulin, slin and hgh at that time?

Yates was supposedly 245 at the 91 0

a lot of guys retire because their physiques are failing them, Haney retired after producing his all time best, although I think it was Shirley Haney who retired Lee.

lee had too much pec /torso thickness/shape to be beat plus the waist ratio look..

x2

Arms are also good. His only downside were the abs and the dominant torso which made his arms look relatively "small".

it is about genetics

I believe Haney weighed 210 pounds at that 1979 competition at 19 years old.
