Hab mal in meinen frühen Jahren mit ihm Bizeps trainieren dürfen und mich ein wenig mit ihm unterhalten - als er ca 2 Jahre später wieder in Germany weilte, hab ich mir ein Foto von ihm gekauft und er konnte sich tatsächlich noch an mich erinenrn - aber wohl nur wegen meines "ungewöhnlichen" Namens - oder hab ich ihm doch imponiert mit meinen brontalen Armen?!
Lee Haney Video on His Preparation for the 1982 Nationals
Shawn Ray had the remarkable opportunity to interview one of the most prestigious icons in bodybuilding history - Lee Haney. Lee was the first NPC Nationals Overall winner and then went on to compete on the Mr Olympia stage the following year. He placed third in 1983 and in 1984 he won the Mr Olympia and went on to hold that title for 8 consecutive times.
Lee Haney struggled to become a professional bodybuilder while working two part time jobs as well as balancing college and a girlfriend. However, in addition to trying to achieve his bodybuilding goals Lee always had an eye out on how to improve himself and those around him and that is what makes him one of our most recognizable and idolized icons in the bodybuilding industry.
Lee Haney Joins MD
" I am pleased to announce that 8-time Mr. Olympia, Lee Haney will be writing an exclusive monthly column in MD starting next month!
In 1991, Lee became the first 8-time consecutive Mr. Olympia champion. Lee held that record for fourteen years until October 2005, when Ronnie Coleman tied Lee’s Olympia record.
Months before Lee’s eighth and final Mr. Olympia win against Dorian Yates, I signed Lee to an exclusive contract with Twin Lab; who also owned Muscular Development, and Lee wrote a column at that time. Prior to joining TwinLab and MD, Lee was on contract with Weider.
I met Lee for the first time when he won the very first Nationals in 1982 (check out Shawn Rays’ Day in the Life and Nationals Interview on MDTV with Lee this weekend in Atlanta!)
I have the utmost respect and admiration for Lee and his personal values; his religious and spiritual belief, and for his commitment to family!
Lee was one of bodybuilding’s greatest ambassadors who helped set the highest possible standards in the sport and a positive image of bodybuilding.
Lee is a great champion both on and off the bodybuilding stage and I am so thrilled to have him back at MD and part of our team!"
