    LISTEN to the podcast: generationiron.com/mike-ohear...
    Mike O'Hearn speaks with Lee Haney about the health crisis in bodybuilding (and beyond) for younger individuals who desperately try to catch up in older age.
    Lee Haney needs no introduction. He is a 8x Mr. Olympia champion, a world record only tied by Ronnie Coleman. Haney represents the absolute elite in pre-mass monster bodybuilding history. He has also gone on to dedicate his life towards fitness and health for new generations - becoming appointed as chairman of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports by Bill Clinton. So what does Haney feel about bodybuilding today with the many young deaths plaguing the sport? In Generation Iron and Barbend's latest episode of The Mike O'Hearn Show, special guest Lee Haney expresses the urgency of being healthy as young as possible - instead of waiting until mid-life.
    Bodybuilding, fitness, weight training - all on the Generation Iron Fitness Network!

    I met Lee Haney when I was 19 years old in 1990 when he was training Evander Holyfield in Houston TX. I had just competed in the Lee Labrada bodybuilding contest in Galveston TX as teenager my first bodybuilding contest, I was working at the Grocery store in Houston TX Lee Haney came in there and I freaked out I ran up to him we talked he was so nice he gave me his autograph I still have it in my home gym. Lee Haney is a true gentleman God bless him.

I trained my ass off, and vowed that I wasn’t gonna get kicked around anymore. Still training 5 days a week, and God willing I plan on training until my last day on earth!

      It’s just because of numbers; not as many people from the 80’s are still around or involved in bodybuilding except the og’s , Ronnie built this mythology of himself through social media , and his generation of fans are heavily involved in social media platforms and former competitors, but Lee in my opinion was way ahead of his time, and retired at 31 years old

His kind words of encouragement set in motion a life style that I follow to this day, Clean eating regular training serving others. Thank you Lee. ........ rest assured I looked him in the eyes the entire time he was talking to me.

I’ve followed you Mike for several years now and gotta say, I rarely ever see you starstruck or in awe of anyone else but you looked like the same excited 14 year old boy I bet you were upon first learning about Lee Haney lol. It was fun to watch you being so moved by this wonderful man. Like you said, Lee has been the best example both inside and outside the sport of bodybuilding and everyone respects him. Take care and I’ll be watching every interview you grace us with. Thank you and Lee you’re awesome brother!

    I want to know if adding muscle mass improves ur hormones and able to focus better in the rest of ur life. Question for me is, is it more muscle on the frame or the intense workouts that cause the better hormones? I really noticed as back squat got heavier my anxiety and reactiveness in daily situations went way down. Was it being strong? More muscle? The workputs? The placebo effect of confidence boost of being stronger than most even if was or not.

    Ronnie was best ever & that cannot be disputed. Lee is second best ever. Arnold is third best ever & did more for body building then any other Mr. Olympia due to his fame in so many areas of life. Ronnie looked like a guy from another planet & Ronnie was strongest Mr. Olympia ever as Ronnie worked out w/ most weight. Ronnie is the one & only KING of body building but he is paying the price big time. If Lee tried to workout like Ronnie did Lee would be having same severe health issues as Ronnie.

    Should have mentioned that bodybuilders that spew bullshit also influence young bodybuilders, if ONLY more were honest like LEE PRIEST then maybe young bodybuilders will understand the reality of this sport.
    Lee is the only one I know that doesn't make bullshit claims - likely why he is the most POPULAR and respected bodybuilder!!
    I was brought up correctly and one of the things my parents taught me was not to LIE 😉
