"Stimulate, don't annihilate." - Lee Haney
When an 8 time Mr. Olympia gives advice, I take it.
I couldn't care who says it. If it works for me it works me. That's what you need to understand OP.
@@entitiessoul nobody needs to understand what the great Matta A has to say. This is just a good advice from a good and proved source. Very few people have the credentials to even give advice on fitness like Haney have.
@@IvanM272 As I said again, I do not care what anyone says or does great "Ivan ponyback my "idols". Whatever they do I must do. I stated that it doesn't matter who it is. If it works for me it works for me. Not of everything Haney said works for me but some does.
Btw, don't think everyone wants to be famous or in better terms idolized. Some just like the look and enjoy their lives the way it is. Also, I am very content with how I look and I'll even piss you off even more idol worshipper. I wouldn't want any other physique but mine. Maybe one day I'll compete or show myself to the toxic fitness industry.
28 inch shoulders and a 30 inch waist with a vacuum and that isn't even my diced. Real life photoshop exists. Goodbye.
😂😂 look at these 40inch Pythooooons!! 😂😂
@@entitiessoul no
The fact he has no health issues or injuries he clearly done it right 👍
As Dorian Yates has said, Lee is a true Southern Gentleman.
He’s a legend
Good dude never negative about anybody
One of my favourite bb
Lee is very humble and knowledgeable. Even in powerlifting, his point is practical. Safe weight, effective number of set, reps and frequency are all helpful for muscle growth and strength growth.
You can always trust the person who won Mr. Olympia 8 times！
He never got hurt like Yates and won more Olympias, never went to extremes in diet and still looked and was bigger and better than anyone else at the time.
@@pinkyellowblue007 Yes, but times change. Dorian would have beaten Lee if he didn't retire when he did. Lee was lucky to have competed in the healthier, more aesthetic era of bodybuilding. Lee was my idol, for lack of a better word when I was entering the bodybuilding lifestyle. Great advocate for the sport.
@Sardonyx Corporation Had Lee indulged in Winstrol and HGH and used his system of training versus the high intensity of Dorian I reckon not. I think Lee who was 254 in his last Olympia would have gotten just as big but with more aesthetics than Dorian thereby beating him every time.
Well, in Easter Europe strength athletes have been training with that philosophy for decades. Personally, I achieved my best results in terms of size and strength while working with two Kazakh trainers - one of them was a powerlifter, about 5'10 (178cm), 190lbs (85kg), I saw him bench press 420lbs (190kg) for 5 reps for several sets with perfectly controlled form.
@@atiphwyne5609Dorian bringing insulin in bb and this is new era.Difrent level.
Lee is the epitome of class.
Lee has always given sound advice that can be used by a regular guy. You do not have to be a genetically gifted, over-juiced mass-monster to benefit from Lee's experiences. Thank you, Mr. Haney !
Lee was a genetically gifted juiced up mass monster
Look his focus on being injury free. That's how one should train. Great interview
Mind blowing interview and advice. My most powerful take aways: take notes, partner with wiser folks, set goals and work towards them, believe that you can, and most importantly stick to and don't deviate from Plan A. This was truly great!
Holyfield had an incredible compact physique. He had the bodybuilding signature in a strong powerful body of a boxer.
Lee Haney one of the best Mr Olympia's of All-Time.
Love Haney and Holyfield..a team made in heaven
Legend! What a gentleman, great for the sport.
My childhood hero and still is! One comment tho; you DO grow from the negatives - gymnasts are the perfect example of it. They don't lift (curl, etc.) like a bodybuilder, and look at their biceps..
I could listen to Mr. Haney all day
What a legend, pure wisdom right there.
Best in BODYBUILDING period. Representative/ Passion/Teacher/& GOAT!
The real GOAT. Longevity personified.
Great interview. I mimicked his workouts back in the day. The best physique in bodybuilding 💪🏾
it's such a joy listening to Mr. Haney talk about the Science of bodybuilding. It's amazing how he can control the growth of his muscles and stay injury free...🙂
Thank you for this video. Lee is a big inspo
I'm here at 45 because got injured by lack of knowledge. My shoulders hurt about 11 months, my knees hurt. Finally I'll try Lee's method. May God bless Lee and his family and help me to recover and grow again.
I had severe knee pain from squats and front lunges .... I stopped squatting for a while . I only did high reps on leg press and leg extensions for like 4 months ...I don't have any pain anymore ... I am back squatting now but I always do high reps on leg extensions first before I squat .... The main reason I had knee issue is I was not warming up my quads on the leg exntension machine ...Warming up meaning doing 30 reps per set ( 10 reps outer, inner and straight ) ...Try that It may help you ...Is quatted for too many years since 1993 .. Sometimes you gotta step back to move forward ... Give your joints some rest to get back on track .
One of the... top smartest bodybuilders.
Very intelligent with so much knowledge and experience. Respect and blessings 💪🏾🇺🇲
Lee Haney is a legend 💪🏿Great video‼️💪🏿
Lee Haney had what he called the instinct principle training program back in the the day and I still use it today.
What a guy!!the best Mr Olympia
Great lee haney , the worlds he said is gold . Thanks 😊
What a wonderful interview, very informative! I love that mix of knowledge and common sense
This man is amazing and true champion
Lee Haney always a classy gentleman.
Train to stimulate not to annihilate
Haney is the GOAT to this day.
7:05 such gems. Great interviewer. 13:25 thank you cuz you got dr.mike and others saying to that nonsense lol
He is indeed a Legend.
Extremely valuable insights from one of the greatest to ever do it.
Thanks Lee for your speading your wisdom
Thank you Lee Haney
Speaks slowly, clearly and to the point.
This man is the best period
This man has been to the top of the mountain he's an Everest 🗻 of the Bodybuilding industry.
Of course genetics play a huge roll in things bit Mr. Haney's knowledge of everything else will certainly help others who want better results.
Some of us use the gym as a "mental exfoliation", which is why we work out 2 hours per session. It's actually very HEALTHY to do that. You build endurance, mental fortitude, and some of us are genetically built for it. I personally know the EXACT time my body has had enough because it lets me know. Any "quitting" before that makes me feel like I've cheated myself and gotten lazy. I'm gifted with natural cut and lean muscle, so there's no need for cardio, especially with my physical day job. But I spent 2-2 1/2 hours at the gym each session because my body loves being there. I've never tried gear, never will, but people have asked me what I'm on because I'm 51 but in much better shape than guys half my age.
Some of us just have minds and bodies that belong in the gym for 2 hours or more.
Yes also slow movements while lifting and working in the negative definitely stimulates and builds muscle.
What type and style of training sessions you do? I mean, do you take longer rest periods between sets and exercises? Do you like high volume? How hard you like to push on scale of 1-10? How many days you train per week? And other such stuff. Thanx.
Guess I’m subscribed, after the Zane interview and now discovering there’s an interview with Haney, well, new subscriber right here!
Lee we love you gentleman and wish a long happy life for you who are useful for other people
I could of listened for hours
A lot of wisdom on bodybuilding.
What great interview,,,
Lee is the GOAT
'Total 'Lee' Awesome' Haney-THE GOAT!!!
Lee is the greatest
Good explanations!
What Mr. Haney says makes totally sense and i agree 💯 more so. It works💪
The guru has spoken... 🎤 listen n learn
You have to hand it to Lee haney. Multiple Mr O and still looks great and healthy. We all know he's smart, has real good genetics and only competed mostly in the Mr O in his prime but still. Not many can reach the top of bodybuilding and come out of it in one piece.
I need to put those quotes on the wall. Thanks for educational information very much
This guy got the longevity genes you can tell, He looks way younger than he is
Mostly diet
I used to disagree with some of his methods ie. Not doing negatives. Once i learned about Fred Hatfield and CAT or dynamic effort method its balistic and explosive. Its about the speed of the lift. So youre stimulating your fast twitch without taxing your joints. Its a controlled negative but not super slow and the weight has to be moderate in order to have the rep speed be fast. Its actually a genius method that works great for powerlifters but he used it for bodybuilding.
The best bodybuilder Mr Olympia person man of God
Jay Cutler said he never bench press using the pole, he only uses dumbbells. This the 3rd time a bodybuilder talk against using the pole for bench pressing
He is a very likeable fellow
Legend
Big dr squat fan
This is a real “juicy” story!
Man I want to learn his program.
Hmmm, I am not so sure I agree with his view on eccentric component (negatives) of lifting. He knows his stuff so I will have to look a little deeper but my current understanding of the benefits of the accentuating the eccentric is the opposite of his, that is to say, it greatly induces growth and tendon/ligament strength. I saw a few other comments expressing my sentiments but someone else with a different take on mine please hop in and give me some feedback, meaning, am I missing something here?
Eccentrics and isometrics are great for working the tendons. So yes, that's the one thing he is wrong about. HOWEVER, if you are doing heavy eccentrics with a weight you are ready to handle yet (egolifting), that is when tendon tears are most likely to occur. Eg. preacher curls
eccentrics are beneficial for creating serial hypertrophy and tends to put on muscle distally
Would like to know what the pros favorite foods are most effective for muscle growth,
ie; lean beef, chicken, salmon, etc... How many grams of protein in a day?
What about salt...
Both Lee Haney and Dorian Yates are such a please to listen to. However, with all due respect Lee Haney is wrong about " You are not gonna get any growth from a negative". It is proven that negatives stimulate both muscle strength and size growth.
Он просто боялся травмироваться, ведь с негативами нужен огромный вес.
..plus, you don't have to increase the load as frequently. As we get older I think it makes sense to stay with the same load until we exhausted all possibilities to make every rep harder.
@@D.Appeltofft Agree 100%
The GOAT
Why are you releasing this interview 4-5 years after it was recorded?
They gave Evander the clear
Lee and Robby Robinson are the goats
Know the self
I wish I knew his training philosophy earlier. I wasted years doing one body part and my knees and back ate wrecked
Greatest Bodybuilder of All-Time IMO ! 8 -time Mr. Olympia! Still a record (tie).
Is this the guy that got Evander on the gas? Holyfield got juiced heavy to go to heavyweight from cruiserweight and was as dirty as any boxer ever
Probably
He looked like he easily could have stepped on a bodybuilding stage, he looked like a tank
But yates said the negative is more important and always slow down so two competing ideeas i guess😃
Yes he did, so that tells us there's more than one way to get there, it's what works for you and how much you personally believe it to be right.
But they both stress controlled negative 👍
Keep it controlled. They are not too far from each other. Not slow but not fast, Keep it moderate speed.
6:23 his routine
Fred was as sharp as a Razor even when he was wrong he was right we just couldn be bothered to argue with him 😆
Trying to lift the world was a mouthful. These new bodybuilder try to lift the most possible. Old school didnt do that. They was more reps orientated
I never go slow... two minutes later: nice and slow :DDDD
3d smith machine is a good machine
I get it, but training 8 times in 5 days, all the cooking, eating. You wouldnt have enough time to scratch your arse. A period of doing this would be good
It's good if you are a professional bodybuilder. For a college student or average 9-5 guy, not so much.
❤❤
I love this guy, but no growth from the negative? There's evidence now that the negative is potentially even more powerful for hypertrophy. At least as good as the concentric.
The Super slow trainers have left the room
Didnt Arnold have heart, knee and shoulder surgeries?
Yes, but I believe Arnold trained heavy trying to keep up with natural powerhouse Franco Columo who was shorter and compact.
I believe he and Stallone had shoulder surgeries at the same time.
He looks like Evander on the thumbnail
My generation Haney was the man
.
Real talk here
❤
How many lbs of muscle in how many weeks? Hmm 🤔
elite pharma grade peds and the best trainers and nutritionists will help that
Lance Armstrong?
Why would an elite Olympic amateur and professional boxing, multi-weight world champion like Evander Holyfield - and renowned for a scientific approach to training while being surrounded by the pick of sports scientists and nutritionists, as well as legendary boxing trainers like Lou Duva and Emanuel Steward - suddenly need to consult a non-expert in sports science and sports nutrition outside of pro bodybuilding like ex-pro bodybuilding legend Lee Haney (who was never 'built' naturally anyway)? In this interview, Haney even admits that he had to consult with a sports science expert for that aspect of Holyfield's programme. Holyfield had already been known and documented for including a qualified team of advanced strength, conditioning and nutrition experts in his camp alongside his trainers, on his rise to bulk up his natural light-heavy/cruiserweight physique to the heavyweight crown. Obviously, the pot of gold waiting for him if he could rapidly build up his size to fight the dominant, ferocious, talented, undisputed HW champion, Mike Tyson, was huge but prime Tyson weighed 210-215 lb). When he fought Douglas (246 lb) for the title instead he was still just about 205 Ib and again at massive disadvantages against eg., Foreman and a 235 lb Bowe. Holyfield and co. probably decided that they had gone as far as they could naturally go at this stage against opposition that was almost always bigger than him.
Allegedly gaining 20-22lb of added muscle in just 5 weeks (according to Haney) and bulking up that much for the second Bowe fight in '93 was always suspect, including Steward suddenly leaving Holyfield's employ after winning that rematch. There was talk of problems in the camp but not why suddenly. Evander was eventually suspected of using HGH, steroids and flushing agents during this period: this would have needed 'specialized' help to administer these treatments effectively and then cycle and flush his system in time and thoroughly enough to pass the drug-testing routines. Without naming any names, elite pro bodybuilders would expertly know that administer and flush routine.
During the Balco Labs scandal and cross-sport investigations, a lab called Signature Labs plus an associated lab called Applied Pharma in Alabama were also raided. Amongst the documents and evidence found was a patient under the name of “Evan Fields” with the same date of birth, telephone number and similar address as Evander. This was coincidental as they were not investigating Holyfield but it raised suspicion among investigators and when reporters called the phone number associated with those prescriptions, Holyfield himself answered. According to SI.com (Sports Illustrated), Holyfield was believed by investigators to be using the pseudonym “Evan Fields”, and allegedly picked up drugs from a private Georgia urologist whose offices were also raided. The report stated that authorities traced the drugs to Applied Pharma in Mobile, Ala., and in June 2004, an individual believed by investigators to be Holyfield picked up three vials of testosterone, two vials of the drug Glukor, and injection supplies. One of the drugs was for hypogonadism. Then, less than a week later, he received five vials of human growth hormone (HGH) and related supplies. Asked about his alleged involvement, Holyfield issued a statement through his promoter that said: “I do not use steroids.” However, Holyfield was questioned about possible HGH use in 1994 when he suffered a mysterious heart condition after strangely lethargic performances and the loss of his title to Michael Moorer. He also performed poorly, if not losing, to average opposition like John Ruiz, Larry Donald and ex-middle and light heavyweight, Bobby Czyz as he aged, between looking jacked and giving almost superhuman performances against incomparably tougher opposition in e.g., the Moorer II, Bowe III and Tyson I & II fights. Dr Goodman (chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission's medical advisory board) stated that whenever a boxer has a heart problem they are questioned about steroid or HGH use. Holyfield simply denied it and the commission accepted that there was no accepted test at the time to detect the use of HGH.
It was later proven that Holyfield's sister collected these HGH, steroids etc private prescriptions for the 'Mr Fields' pseudonym., and Holyfield belated claimed that they were for his father, but only after his father had passed away.
Holyfield and Haney are both legends in their respective fields but were all of these HGH and steroid allegations, stunning muscle mass increase, temporary heart problems and fluctuating performances, and pro-bodybuilder input, customer details, addresses and phone numbers - and commission reports; all just coincidental?
So far 8 consecutive Mr O wins have only been duplicated but never surpassed. Will it ever happen or are the judges fixated on switching winners when someone is approaching 8 wins?
You mean 8?
@@N1120A Sorry, I stand corrected. But will that ever be beaten? Judging works differently now, I feel they wanna change things more often than before.
Damn 48 I thought he was 56…..
He (Haney) is actually 63 now, but he was "58," not 48, during this interview.
Says you need to train calves 5 days a week.. wtf? Yates calves were twice the size of Haney's and he trained them once per week.
Different calf genetics. Dorian probably could have gotten away without much calf training, Lee had sprinter calves, high and short.
You are delusional if you think calves don't need high volume to grow
@@BodybyptYes because he is black. African genetics = long limbs and long tendons. Asians and whites who have short tendons can get huge calves with less effort
Well science shows the negative has more growth potential that the positive rep. Sadly he uses some bro science as well.
You talking about the same “science” that says eggs and red meat are bad for a bunch of dumb reasons?
"Bro science" 🤓
Lee Haney look's amazing: skin, size, WOW!!
Holyfield was roided up lol but in the 90's boxers weren't tested
we love what you got LOL we know that meant steriods. Lee layed out a suitcase full of peds and said i got it all guys lol
Most of his stuff is good but kind of old fashion the machines of today are way better than the machines of old. And you can get a great physique using machines. Deter Jackson used machines and so did Phil Heath.
Neither of those two look as good as Haney did
