good shots, crazy how far bodybuilding has come when you think that he was Mr. Olympis 8 times with that body, he wouldn't get a second look these days on even the NPC junior nationals stage with that body.

haney was the last pre-insulin, pre-gh champion physique.
Actually, when Haney started winning the O in 84, GH was just starting to take off. In fact many attribute the amazing improvement Haney made between 83 and 84 to be because of Gh. Bob Paris admitted taking Gh when he won the 83 Nationals and 83 Mr. Universe, and he was much bigger that year than the previous year. It's the insulin and IGF1 mixed in that has caused the bloated big belly guys of today. First big insulin user was in the late 70's early 80's..named Tim Belknap. He had to use because he was diabetic, but he was one of the most massive short guys around back then.

You never saw Haney in person.

His back and chest would match ANYONE today. His legs obviously would not match up, but his upper body could, even today-just liek Arnold could.

I'll say this, Lee Haney in person was enormous.  Standing next to him was humbling.   Offseason he was a lean 275 or so, with a small waist.   He was definately a sight to behold.  He was always very articulate, intelligent and friendly with everyone.

Awesome shot, Lee is one of the most underrated MR O's, almost seems to be lost in the mix since Dorian, Ronnie and the others took over, in my view Lee Haney brought in a New Era when he first took over as Champion the Next Level so to speak since Arnold ruled the roost in the 1970s...Massive size (for the times 240-250lbs in Contest shape) Fantastic taper, cuts, some BB's look awesome standing there on there own, then when someone stands next to them not so good, Lee had the opposite effect..alot of times Lee didn,t look great hitting shots on stage by himself...he'd then hit the same shot next to the top 6 of those times and look like a monster...Lee Haney = Very Underrated BB Champion

Yup and he competed near 250.  I have an old Mr. Olympia video where they all weighed in and Haney was at 247 while Strydom weighed in at like 225 and he was 6'2".  Needless to say... Strydom got crushed.

He was actually about 243 at the weigh in, but I'm sure he carbed up a few extra pounds by the prejudging and finals.  Here's a good article on it:

This month's issue of FLEX features the debut of Lee's Way, a column penned by eight-time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney. With this addition to the FLEX team, we now have the three most recent Mr. Olympias as columnists: Ronnie Coleman, Dorian Yates and Haney. That equates to a combined collection (prior to the 2002 Mr. O) of 18 Sandows.

With eight Mr. Olympia wins to his credit, Haney has the resume for us to acclaim him as history's greatest bodybuilder. More impressive, Haney is a leading candidate for the title of bodybuilding's greatest person. For more than 20 years, he's been a major figure on the bodybuilding scene, bringing dignity and class to everything he does. A spiritual man, he practices what he preaches and has a smile and a kind word for everyone he encounters. With his spectacular physique, outgoing personality, charisma and innate good nature, Haney became the ideal ambassador for bodybuilding--an overused title that fits him perfectly.

Classic chest: borrowing from legends, Rusty Jeffers crafts a pec workout... Haney is a true sportsman, always magnanimous and complimentary to his rivals. And he is honest. It's not uncommon for a bodybuilder to exaggerate his physical dimensions, but Haney became famous for never fudging his stats. In one celebrated episode, two days before the 1988 Mr. Olympia in Los Angeles, all competitors had to weigh in. Prior to the event, Haney had stated his competitive bodyweight was a steady 244 pounds. Others in the lineup, including Berry DeMey, Phil Hill and Gary Strydom, said they were about the same poundage as the reigning champ. At the weigh-in, here's how the four tipped the scales: DeMey, 227 pounds; Hill, 222 1/2 pounds; Strydom (with hat), 229 pounds; and Haney, 243 1/4 pounds. The champ duly went on to take his fifth Olympia title.

Today, Haney lives comfortably just outside Atlanta with his wife, Shirley, and their two children, Joshua, 15, and Olympia, 12. He is involved in a variety of projects. He has a gym business in Atlanta; a line of supplements bearing his name; a Web site (www.leehaney.com); and even his own TV show, TotaLEE Fit, on Trinity Broadcast Network. Despite all that, Lee found the time to establish Haney's Harvest House, a 40-acre facility in Georgia that caters to disadvantaged children. Of all his accomplishments, that last one best sums up the generous spirit of Lee Haney. We're lucky to have him in the sport, and we're lucky to have him with FLEX.

I thought Haney was around 260 off season, and under the supervision and coaching of Fred Hatfield he did a very strict/clean bulk...which explains his comp. weight being relatively close to his off season. he was 245-250 contest right? 245?

Haney was one of the few to approach training and diet from a scientific perspective.

good post, basically what i was gonna post.

gh was used in the 80s and some experimented with it before that. (one example is mr pointy elbows dickerson)

and the dwarf  belknap did infact add mass via his use of insulin (as said above ; he was a diabetic)


and in the pics i posted Lee wasnt at his biggest

when lee was at his biggest (91..i think) , he certainly wouldnt be dwarfed by todays pros.

I think you better read or re-read his books if THAT is your conclusion  ??? There is definitely something you've misunderstood, to put it bluntly.

I don't get it. you write a lot of sensible posts where I agree with you, but sometimes - including now- I think you're just trolling. You know just as I do - or OUGHT to know in the very least - that few have been as scientific with their training as hatfield and his friends (Yessis, Verkoshansky..guys from the Soviet union and many others).

Say what you want. It does not change the fact that these guys are from the scientific school, and considering that hatfield recommends ice showers, active release treatment/muscular re-education/deep tissue massage, hypnotism, taking several naps during the day even if you have to find a closet, etc etc (the list is really long and I simply don't remember it) I think it's a bit disrespectful to say he ain't about recovery. If there is one thing he stresses again and again and again it's recovery, proper nutrition.
Besides, do you have scientific grounds to say that recovery is impaired by eating what you are about to do? It makes a helluva lot more sense than eating for what you've just done. Look at blood sugar impact following a meal.

I am sensitive on this issue because the last thing you or anyone ought to be is disrespectful towards a guy who went all in to reach his goals and use and preach methods that make SENSE.

Haney's limbs appeared smaller due to the sheer mass of his torso.
His chest was a mound of criss-crossed muscle fibers unlike anything Ive ever seen, thickness beyond belief.
His back was wide AND thick, the above rear lat spread pic next to Labrada and especially Strydom illustrates what the pretenders to the throne were going up against. Both their backs combined couldnt emulate Haney's thickness, detail and width.
Haney as someone else mentioned, when compared to a competitor really stood out, and it was usually lights out.
Even in his worst ever condition, 90, the drug tested show, Labrada couldn't take it, even though I would 've liked to see Flea Labrada win...

 To me he very clearly represents the last of the classically muscular physiques that looked good. The kind I'd want to attain something close to (in an ideal world where I didn't have to take anything and had insane genetics ), or  a smaller version of.

 There was a time when shoulder to waist ratio actually meant something important and his is amongst the best.

His highest contest weight was in 1987 where he weighed 259 pounds, so YES, 275 pounds sounds realistic for his heavier offseason's and closer to 260 pounds offseason when he showed up about 10-15 pounds lighter in competition. For a guy who measured 5'11"-6'0", he was pretty massive indeed.

The thing that separates Haney from the pack was he retired on top in the peak of his career , the best he ever looked was 1991 , Dorian , Ronnie , Jay , all deteriorated by their last Olympias , Haney walked away on top , reminds me of the quote from American Gangster Quitting while you're ahead is not the same as quitting.

I always admired Haney , he was the current Olympia when I started working out , he was a class act and a great family man.

I disagree on Dorian. 1997 might have had a torn biceps but he was still hard as fuck and just a bit bigger. Would have deteriorated the next year with the tear but not then. Haney also could have lost to Shawn in 1990.

Post by: Wiggs on January 28, 2015, 09:26:20 AM
In all the shady activities and character flaws that Mr. Olympias have,  Ronnie and his dozens of children, Arnold and his womanizing, (can't really say anything negative about Dorian, I love the guy), there is one man that stands above them all.

Lee Haney. Undefeated as Mr. Olympia and tied for having the most Mr. O wins (Ronnie lost twice), and an unscathed reputation even to this day.

This man has lived and breathed what it is to be the best on stage and off.  I've seen and heard everything on just about every bodybuilder.  I've never heard of anyone having a bad encounter with Lee Haney.  I've met him and spoke with his son.  Lee treated me like an old friend.  Can't say how great it is to have a guy like this at the helm of a "sport" with people with so many character flaws. Especially a "sport" that demands one be selfish and narcissistic.

Here's to the King of Kings of bodybuilding.  Lee Haney, overall the best ever on stage and off.

I still think that,when by himself on stage, Haney's torso kind of overpowered his limbs.

Wasn't a fan of some of his choice of poses,which drew attention to his arms and his relatively small forearms and thin wrists .

Haney ,unlike Coleman,was too smart to go balls to the wall and lift heroic poundages in the gym -"stimulate-not annihilate". And that's difficult to get really excited by.

yes, he took one look and then beat him in Yates 1st Olympia.

Haney had broke Arnold's record and won 8 straight, so why continue?
Plus, he must have seen that pro bodybuilding trends were going towards the freaky look as we entered the 1990's.

Zane actually said he saw the changing of the guard to size , as the winning factor in the mid 80's .
He knew his Olympia wins were  in the rear view mirror , so,  it was time for him and his classic physique to hang up the trunks
