I don't think I've ever heard anyone say Lee is anything but a class act and one of the kindest humans they ever met. I met Lee in 1999 and he was such a lovely gentleman.
Wonderful to have the internet and be able to listen to legends like Lee Haney speaking about bodybuilding dieting in this sort of low key conversation.
I wish an interviewer would ask him about steroids. What age did you start? What did your cycles look like? Dorian has talked about it. Ronnie, Jay, even Arnold. But lee Haney stays silent. The argument that young people will copy him is ruined by the others disclosing it. Also, what were you taking when you were the first ever drug free mr Olympia? I won't hold my breath. Do he make these demands before agreeing to do an interview????
I used to see Lee Haney training his clients at the world gym in Fayetteville Georgia and I would always speak with him for a few minutes and he always had a smile on his face and a positive word for me . He told me I had nice wheels so that felt great coming from him .
I've heard Arnold say almost the same thing. It's fascinating that (at least) two of the greatest champions in the history of the sport both advocate staying within about 5% of competition weight. That means it has to be an incredible commitment and grind 24/7/365 to compete with the likes of them.
I had the honor of meeting Lee Haney at the Arnold's classic this year. One of the nicest guy I've ever met, very humble and a true gentleman. He made my trip to the Arnold's classic worthwhile.
This info is for competitive bodybuilding. I have Type 2 diabetes and eating low carb (20-40gms per day) was/is the only way I can keep my glucose readings below 100. The carbs I mostly stayed away from were grains and starches. Lee Haney was a great champion.
His argument was for people that were never fat to begin with. He was a carb monster because he never got fat. He mentioned that "if you're a fatty boy, you need to go low carb."
You know what else will reduce your glucose reading and increase insulin sensitivity the most? Losing body fat. This can be done easiest on a moderate/high carb, high protein low fat diet.
Do you have medication for it? Do you take insulin? Here's a interesting anecdote from a type 1 diabetes patient, regarding the insulin sensitivity. ruclips.net/video/MSvddyJ9BBk/видео.html
@@MassMonster780nybody that thinks you can lose body fat easier on a moderate/high carb diet versus a carb restricted diet doesn't have a clue with what's actually going on.
Lee is a true champion, what he says make perfectly sense and My personal experience last 34 years ( I am 52) lifting weight confirm what he says. You have to feed the body to Burn fat, simple but hard
Saw him guest pose at the 1988 Nationals in Atlanta ... OMFG ... it was 4 weeks or so after winning the Olympia if I guess correctly. He dwarfed every other bodybuilders on stage that day, and trust me, there was monsters there. Lee was just in a class by himself. Class act all the way.
@@barrybarnett731 lol arnold lied alot about stuff why shouldn't lee lie? Bodybuilder's diss keto because they want people to believe, that they need a ton of carbs to build muscle Endomorph's cant handle carbs the way they should look it up it's well proven.
@@barrybarnett731 bro, he pretty much said keto is crazy but might be necessary if YOURE FAT! Another thing is science has proven Carbs are not essential. So unless you're a bodybuilder or need to store glycogen etc like an athlete, carbs aren't really needed. Just cuz Lee is who he is doesn't mean a RUclips commentor can't know more than him or have an opinion.
I am not a practitioner of keto personally I do however feel I tend to build muscle better and recover faster when I bump up the fat and reduce the carbs personally. I think we are all different, so blanket statements can never be applied to all.
Yup. Bump up the fat and protein and you'll be ok. It's about eating the right foods. Carbs aren't essential but they still have their place. Me personally I feel better without Carbs and it might just be the trt but I've been doing good on keto and building some muscle
Clinically we know this to be true. There are different types of metabolism. Blanket statements are not intelligent or useful. Each person has to find what works for them. Even then,one’s metabolism can alter.
Lee Haney's advice may work among those who are serious body builders - although a strict Carnivore diet has worked well for some body builders - but for the average person who is overweight, carb-addicted, and insulin resistant, it's not particularly wise advice in my opinion. Keto is not "crazy" as he says, and a diet heavy in meat and saturated animal fat has healed many people from chronic inflammation, has been good for weight loss, and in restoring a healthy gut flora. Keto and Carnivore diets (especially a Carnivore diet!) have been quite successful in improving autoimmune issues, and in some cases even entirely eliminating such health concerns. Many people have also reduced their anxiety, gotten off their meds, and essentially brought their bodies in balance as a result of a diet that is animal-based. Haney appears to also adhere to the modern-day 'cholesterol' myth which says that high cholesterol levels are markers for bad health. Well, not necessarily so (see Dr. Malcolm Kendrick in his book, 'The Great Cholesterol Myth' who completely debunks this common misconception). There is some nuance that needs to be understood, so it's not as simple and clear-cut as even some physicians think. There's even a growing body of evidence that LDL is not, by itself, necessarily a bad thing. Again, in fairness, Haney's opinions are related to body builders, especially professional body builders. Perhaps he does not feel the same when it comes to the average American who eats what most Americans consume - namely, lots of processed carbs, sugary drinks, lots of seed oils, alcohol, cereal, breads, pasta, etc.?
Low or no carbs is unnatural for the human body and while you will lose weight (which is the cause of most of our health issues) it’s detrimental to long term health and longevity.
@@skepticalbutopen4620 No, it's not unnatural at all. You can survive quite well with no carbs. It's more than losing weight, you will also thrive on no carbs.
@@rockaboatus588 thrive is a stretch. Survive, absolutely. Our physiology is designed to consume and leverage the benefits of carbohydrates. Carbs are in no way bad or harmful. On the contrary, they’re beneficial for ideal health.
@@skepticalbutopen4620 No, not in the least. People thrive on a keto and carnivore diet and not just survive. By means of eliminating carbs they have also eliminated most if not all of their health issues. It's funny too how when our government began to promote a high carb diet in the 1970s, so also did rates of obesity increase to skyrocketing levels. Yes, some people can tolerate carbs better than others, but that's not the same as saying that carbs are necessary or any other such nonsense.
@@fender1000100 Coleman has no regret and doesn't feel sorry for himself and you shouldn't either, he achieved his goal of being the greatest bodybuilder of all time and said he would do it all again.
I’m a carb monster and have single digit body fat. If you’re doing moderate to intense exercise (like we all should be doing as humans) carbs are not only helpful, their necessary to reaching high levels of performance and overall health.
Yes and those of us who have become insulin resistent. There is no single right answer, age, sex, genetics, lifestyle and many other things determine the "correct" carb load. Anyone who tries to convince you of the "best" carb dose, without learning all of your variables ........well.... should be avoided.
Escape Fitness + Lee Haney if my favorite Body Builder!! Bring back the Haney Gloves. I had a set and miss them to this day!!! What a bummer no more Haney Gloves.
Lee Haney! I Was but a kid when he was all over the covers of body building magazines. I had no internet at the time, its the first time in my 40s that I see him life :) So cool!
Wow Lee Haney looks Good!! My Son is competing in a IBFF show in August in Tahoe Nevada and I just sent him this video so he can here Knowledge and Wisdom from a professional I admire when I grew up bodybuilding!!
If you are fat adapted what usually takes up a few month on Keto or Carnivore you will greatly build muscle. Most people just have no idea cause they never tried it. The amount of cholesterol you eat will greatly effect your hormone. Bodybuilders make a big mistake to avoid saturated fat. Asides from that, longterm you will have lower inflammation in your body what leads to less injuries and better overall health. You can look at Vince Girondas diet principles.
Yeah couldn't help but notice how many keto pushers are skinny but look like they can't lift a thing. I had to up my intake to start getting results in my strength training.
Different genetics. I can’t have carbs at all no matter how active I am. I get fat, easily. Low carb/zero carb is the only answer for me as well as intermittent fasting.
@@EEEBA1 exactly, carbs are addicting, I had a sweet potato one day and that triggered my addition. The following week I was eating crackers, chips, and I ate an entire load of break in about three days. I went back to basically carnivore and the desire for carbs disappeared and I was on track to losing body fat again.
@Automatic Steel... until your body's hormones adjust your metabolism slower and slower and suddenly you're no longer in a calorie defecit. And there's no guarantee that the weight lost will be mostly body fat either. there's always a guy like you in the comments that just parrots this shit they hear thinking they're a genius...
I actually knew nothing of Lee until this past year. I actually saw him posing once online without knowing who he was several years ago & I was blown away with how supple, tight & smooth his muscular contractions were. I had what I call sticky muscles for years due corrupt methods so when I’d contract they’d kinda cramp to stick for millisecond. It was pretty weird.? I just remember thinking I’d like to be like that guy because what he had was awesome 👍🏻✨
I'm 56 years old and when i was 17-18-19 years old i was was heavy into the muscle and fitness magazines Joe Weider etc etc and the man here was my total inspiration when Arnold was everyone's else This Man Is The Greatest!!!
Let me go ahead and get nutrition advice from a guy that spent years on gear in a profession (bodybuilding) where men are literally dropping dead left and right in their 40s and 50s. I’m all set with that.
@@kobe_won_shinobi No shit. I'm not beyond getting advice about health, nutrition, and training. Just not going to get it from dudes who are 100% not in it to live healthy whatsoever.
@JB-hq9yj by the looks of it, Lee Haney seems healthy to me. Healthier than majority of people at 64. The real question is, Wtf you click on the video in the first place? Just so you could give your stance against bodybuilders giving nutrition advice...
Remember watching Battle for Olympia on VHS, there's a scene where Lee calls Mike Christian "wishy washy" and Mike replies "I was great in 88 - it's gonna be mine in 89"😂

Mr. Olympia Mr Haney was responsible for inspiring millions to embrace a healthy lifestyle, #RESPECT Big up from NYC Mr. Haney is dropping SCIENCE if you are open to listening "I AM" #RESPECT
If your overweight have autoimmune issues, diabetes , going low carb and no sugar will save your life I don't care what lee Haney says weight training is very important for your health also intermittent fasting works! Also take b complex ,resveritrol and metformin and your life and health will drastically change for the better
I tried that low carb keto diet in January 2023 to lower my blood glucose down and I almost died, low energy, low everything, and I'm back up to strength again
Dr. Fred Hatfield aka Dr. Squat, who Haney mentioned here, is who I got my ISSA personal training with…he made me lay on my side and perform leg lifts and said in front of everyone “this strong kid has weak glutes hahaha”!!
Started lifting at 19. When I turned 25 I began Keto after gainig at least 20lbs of lean* muscle mass (I was 7% bf). Lost maybe 5-8lbs over 6 months. Man I was lean like a mf...!! Around 5-6% . However; I began losing Hemoglobulin (Red-blood cells) and lost a lot of veins and fullness. But man I was high like a manic and never felt better mentally and physically. It took at least 6 months for my blood-volume to get back at baseline. And I gained a lot of brown fat (because of the cold baths every morning in the winter in Norway.) Would I do it again thjat way? No. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. Keto is not for muscle. But it certainly helps in every other area if you are predisposed. Now, I cycle the diet and do Hybrid-forms of it. Would recommend everyone to try at least 6 weeks as it really promotes cell health
Most people are afraid of overtraining but they aren’t “stimulating” their body to adapt hard enough during training to truly progress. If you train the same body-part 5 times a weak but do it half-assed you still can “overtrain” but you won’t make any progress because you’re not stimulating enough muscle fibers to grow.
He's right about low carb but wrong about the type of fats to use during a cut...PUFA's are garbage. Saturated fats are easier to absorb/process. Also the science on cholesterol has changed, it doesn't really matter as much as people once thought.
He understands his own metabolism during a strange “sport”. He misunderstands the science. Hope he picks it up later for his long term health. Nice chap.
@@EEEBA1well he did say zero carb was bad.. Although he kept saying zero carb Keto.. Then also said chicken and green beans.. Maybe he doesn't understand that veggies have carbs..
Metabolic adaption is a real thing just cutting calories is not the right thing to do. You need to gain muscle if you want to better utilize gluclose peruod.
This is more about body building. Carbs turning into sugar and Keto isn't about no carbs at all, it's more about less sugar and the foods that break down into glycose, spiking insulin that stores fat. Keto is about proper vitamin intake, the kinds of fat we consume and where our proteins come from like grass fed beef, eggs, etc. So, when you talk about KETO it's more about eating natural foods than consuming so much processed foods. Eating well is always a plus.
I'm diabetic Everytime I eat carbs or sugar I gain weight so fast but when I went keto and fasting yes I lost muscle but I also looked felt great and lost a lot of fat however I did lose strength and muscle and I'm not going lie I was always hungry so I guess I have to find a balance of keto and fasting and throwing some healthy carbs in
All relative, if your 240 pounds of muscle you have a lot of room for those carbs and the cholesterol/ sat fat being a problem has been scientifically disproven , still love to hear all these different views, in 45 years of reading this stuff it’s plain that you do what’s best for you, don’t go claiming you have it right and nobody else does 😂 good stuff
frank zane was a low carb bodybuilder. he said prep for a competition his carb intake was 50g. and off-season carbs wree 150g. and he adds its not a diet its just the when he eats. ruclips.net/video/SrjJhZUiS50/видео.html
Love Haney but he actually doesn't know about nutrition. He knows about his own nutrition. But he doesn't understand cholesterol or the dangers of seed oils and almonds.
I love lee haney but he has god tier genetics... I expect he could get lean with reasonable carbs in... I cannot get lean lean without pulling carbs... thats on top of cardio and supps.

Even Jay Cutler Who was a Mass Monster never went Below 80 g of Carbs a day at over 240 Ibs
Love this guy. A big brain just not muscles.
Started lifting at 19. When I turned 25 I began Keto after gainig at least 20lbs of lean* muscle mass (I was 7% bf).
Lost maybe 5-8lbs over 6 months.
Man I was lean like a mf...!! Around 5-6% .
However; I began losing Hemoglobulin (Red-blood cells) and lost a lot of veins and fullness.
But man I was high like a manic and never felt better mentally and physically.
It took at least 6 months for my blood-volume to get back at baseline.
And I gained a lot of brown fat (because of the cold baths every morning in the winter in Norway.)
Would I do it again thjat way? No.
Do I regret it? Absolutely not.
Keto is not for muscle. But it certainly helps in every other area if you are predisposed.
Now, I cycle the diet and do Hybrid-forms of it. Would recommend everyone to try at least 6 weeks as it really promotes cell health
Most people are afraid of overtraining but they aren’t “stimulating” their body to adapt hard enough during training to truly progress. If you train the same body-part 5 times a weak but do it half-assed you still can “overtrain” but you won’t make any progress because you’re not stimulating enough muscle fibers to grow.
I always wondered how one knows after a depletion and you reload at what point are you full without spilling over
Is that lance armstrong?
When Lee says eat spinach,eat spinach💪
Incredible this guy the A⭐️ advice
Lee is great man!
Met him once. Nicest guy in BBing. He doesn't get enough credit as a BBer or a man. True gent.
great interview 👍🏽
He's right about low carb but wrong about the type of fats to use during a cut...PUFA's are garbage. Saturated fats are easier to absorb/process. Also the science on cholesterol has changed, it doesn't really matter as much as people once thought.
This.
Wow, for a minute there, I thought the interviewer was Lance Armstrong!
The best ever
I can still remember as a kid seeing the big homie on the cover of muscle mags.
To me he was superman
8 time Mr Olympia & I never heard of this dude 🥺
incredible guy
The carbohydrate Maximum for Kino die is 30 g a day
THE GOAT
Where's the whole video interview ? Wondering if this is new footage or I may have seen it a year ago...
He understands his own metabolism during a strange “sport”. He misunderstands the science. Hope he picks it up later for his long term health. Nice chap.
I wonder what he would say about carnivore way of eating with zero carbs.
keto =/= carnivore. ketogenic diets cause diabetes. this is documented science.
@@EEEBA1well he did say zero carb was bad.. Although he kept saying zero carb Keto.. Then also said chicken and green beans.. Maybe he doesn't understand that veggies have carbs..
Metabolic adaption is a real thing just cutting calories is not the right thing to do. You need to gain muscle if you want to better utilize gluclose peruod.
This is more about body building. Carbs turning into sugar and Keto isn't about no carbs at all, it's more about less sugar and the foods that break down into glycose, spiking insulin that stores fat. Keto is about proper vitamin intake, the kinds of fat we consume and where our proteins come from like grass fed beef, eggs, etc. So, when you talk about KETO it's more about eating natural foods than consuming so much processed foods. Eating well is always a plus.
Big respect to this man's toilet back in the days
One of my favorite mr Olympia. All his advice is reasonable and solid
I'm diabetic Everytime I eat carbs or sugar I gain weight so fast but when I went keto and fasting yes I lost muscle but I also looked felt great and lost a lot of fat however I did lose strength and muscle and I'm not going lie I was always hungry so I guess I have to find a balance of keto and fasting and throwing some healthy carbs in
All I can think about when Lee talks about trainers is Hany "despicable me" Rombod. 😂😅
The interviewer looks sort of like Lance Armstrong!
Beast!
All relative, if your 240 pounds of muscle you have a lot of room for those carbs and the cholesterol/ sat fat being a problem has been scientifically disproven , still love to hear all these different views, in 45 years of reading this stuff it’s plain that you do what’s best for you, don’t go claiming you have it right and nobody else does 😂 good stuff
Personally. I love Cobbs. Cobbs on Cobbs on Cobbs.
lol!
Lower carbs higher good fat work for me but I’m not a competitive bodybuilder
An 8 time Mr Olympia beats bro scientists!
frank zane was a low carb bodybuilder.
he said prep for a competition his carb intake was 50g.
and off-season carbs wree 150g.
and he adds its not a diet its just the when he eats.

That’s why he didn’t get huge like Arnold and Haney.
Love Haney but he actually doesn't know about nutrition. He knows about his own nutrition. But he doesn't understand cholesterol or the dangers of seed oils and almonds.
Haney needs to be more transparent here. There is a huge difference what you can take in when you're cranking shit and when you're not.
Absolutely sensational. What an ambassador of the sport.
I love lee haney but he has god tier genetics... I expect he could get lean with reasonable carbs in... I cannot get lean lean without pulling carbs... thats on top of cardio and supps.
Muscle guys love old school recommendations Not sure how healthy they are.
Love lee, but the problem with this is he’s giving advice to bodybuilders. Over weight normal people can do quite well on low carbs.
It's overall calories not "carbs"
@@pauldavies7251 carbs are the least nutritionally dense food group , they also absorb water and spike insulin
Use them smart and carbs are your friend and perfect tool to build muscles 🙏🏋🏼♂️🏋🏼♂️
@@20FreeWill just stop talking please 🙄
Insulin is an anabolic hormone & people need to stop chatting such utter crap
@@perlundberg2073 at last someone who understands 👌
Keto is the way to go.
Someone needs to tell Lance Armstrong someone is walking around with his whole face
