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.
No problem man I'm 51 years old and I'll never forget that sometimes you meet your heroes and your let down but Lee Haney is the real deal God bless you.
@@daviddepapeisahero8554 Ronnie was just big, distended belly, overtrained, injured multiple times and got gifted a lot of his Olympias ('02 being the most obvious).. although he is funny and has a kind nature, talking to Ronnie feels like talking to a 5yo boy compared to talking and listening to Lee Haney who seems a fountain of knowledge, humbleness and reflection.
Right on point…I was born in 1963, and I started lifting weights when I was 13 years old. I was Bullied,beat down, and tired of it. 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!
TotaLee Awesome! Mass with class and a life of character. "Stimulate, not annihilate." You both are champions in life, above & beyond the stage... Thanks Mike!
Like Danny Devito said in War of the Rose's, "If someone who charges $400 an hour is willing to give you advice for free, it would benefit you to listen!"
As a 62 Natural Pro. I enjoy this clean talking positive video. Clean eating has given me a healthier lifestyle even when working with Asphalt and concrete daily for 25 years.
@@shred9475 These kinds of comments are exactly what is wrong in the fitness and bodybuilding community today and contributes to why many people think that the only way to achieve a great physique is by not being natural.
I was so looking forward to this interview and it did not disappoint. Can’t wait to hear more from Mr. Haney. Again, Mike your interviews are getting more and more enjoyable every time. 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!
Instagram is bad lol tik tok is even worse. Social media is the downfall of todays youth. It creates unreal expectations, destroys self esteem, relationships, etc.
What a refreshing interview with one of the greatest athletes of any sport of all times. Met him when he came to Perth Western Australia back in 1987 for a seminar / exhibition , true to what he is saying, Lee is an absolute gentleman with his time and being patient with this sixteen year old kid is a memory I cherish to this day. 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.
People always talk about Ronnie Coleman being the greatest and he is great but people sleep on Lee Haney who has just as many Olympias and is older but in way better health than Coleman
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
I don't see it as who is better. Lee, Arnold, and Ronnie all had their mark in the sport. All contributed to bodybuilding. Lee is probably my favorite of all time because of the intangibles.
Its because Ronnie competed until 2007 and won olympia from 1998 to 2005 (incluiding runner up in 2006), back then we had internet, dvds and even RUclips was becoming increasingly popular by early-mid 2006 .. during the last 2 years Ronnie competed.. so the hype grow
@@johnstewart4350 Lee Haney front lat spread.. his back also was extremely quality, and his physique flowed like nobody else.. that physique in '91 looks unmatched to me.. If I could choose looking like any bodybuilder in the history of mr olympia it would be Lee Haney '91 without any doubt..
I’m not usually a fan of Mike OHearn. I came for Lee Haney. But…….. Mike was actually really good in this interview. He’s way better than Vlad any day of the week.
I used to watch his show on ESPN which was fun to watch! He would toy around with 405 Lbs with BB Rows or 500 Lbs with Bench. I used to follow him in M&F magazine and the rest of them in that era! True legend and great guy!
If I had the opportunity to talk with Mr Haney every cell in my body would focus on every word he said! He is 100% right that the young people of today are lost!
Loved his posing when he was dominating everyone his back n chest still one of the best of all times every body part just flowed very balanced n as a person a class act...

Thank you Gentlemen
Love Itt!!! Lee Haney🙏🥇 You Have to Build a Strong Life Foundation!!! Before You Build a House for Life Destiny!!! 1989 I was Blessed to work at his Gym called the Animal Kingdom in Atlanta Georgia!!!
Yep, his first statement said it all. Sooo many overweight kids and so many that are pre-diabetic. Its a parents responsibility to constantly educate their children on good nutrition and how evil junk food is, and how important exercise is, and they learn by copying what you do.
THIS GUY SHOULD HAVE AN OSCAR TO BE NATTY AND MAX OUT 10 REPS WITH 400 LBS BEHIND THE NECK DELT PRESSES... EXCUSE ME SIR... I STARTED TO BODYBIULD AS A 4 YEAR OLD KID IN 1956... AND YOU CAN'T FOOL ME !!
At a interview i do look in the eye. But most of the time i do not. And it has nothing to do with respect it has to do with me concentrating on what you are saying. And because i am a life long musician. So i usually turn my head a little bit and point my ear toward you.
I can relate to Lee! My mom didn’t want me to have weighs she thought I would look like a freak.😂 my dad took me to the mall and bought me a #110 Joe Weider wait set. I never turned out to be a freak.😂😂
Handy looks good in some photos not sure why but I never liked his physique all the pics I ever saw didn’t look great imo. But this showed me he is much better then I thought by far
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.
You're bulking and getting pumped. Flooding the muscles with blood and nutrients produces a huge surge in male dopamine levels and the hormones continually reach optimized production. Stay away from PEDS and stick to natural God made foods. Thanks
👍All Lee awesome .Lee Haney,Lee Priest,Lee Bruce, Good to see Mr.O. Lee Haney, I like one of His tips for TRAPS exercise ,REAR SHOULDER SHRUG WITH BAR.TOTALEE AWESOME. THANKS MIKE FOR INTERVIEW WITH LEE. CONSISTENCY 1😁👍🏊♂️💪
Yeah, but he's a bit two faced cause Christians ain't supposed to be using drugs or illegal substances. We all know Lee was using PEDs all the way trough his pro career. The double standard didn't quite match his religious belives. Perhaps that bothered him too. I've never heard him talk about it.
Mike has the sense of humour of the inanimate carbon rod from the Simpsons. Lee was making jokes and cracking smiles but Mikes CPU could not compute the emotion, .But Lee what a joy
Decadence is destroying our children- they have it too easy- when I even see the young ones at the gym- they don't even want to be there! I would've done anything back in the day to have access to a gym.
This was a great podcast of Mike&Lee. Hopefully many more to come.😁
Lee Haney is the greatest of all time. A true gentleman and the absolute best Ambassador for the Bodybuilding community.
I met Lee Haney when I was 19 years old in 1990 when he was training Evander Holyfield in Houston TX.

@@alvinmccoy3234God is Good 🙏 All the best man
Mike, I'm with you. Mr Haney is the greatest bodybuilder, greatest Mr Olympia EVER!!!!!
Have you not heard of Ronnie Coleman?
Facts!
@@daviddepapeisahero8554 Ronnie was just big, distended belly, overtrained, injured multiple times and got gifted a lot of his Olympias ('02 being the most obvious).. although he is funny and has a kind nature, talking to Ronnie feels like talking to a 5yo boy compared to talking and listening to Lee Haney who seems a fountain of knowledge, humbleness and reflection.
Lee ..8x Mr O and not one single injury in his whole life .. incredible , smart , ultimate winner
He trained with medium/moderate weights and very strict technique, good nutrition for recovery...
And Blessed by God as well
@@musclebone7875absolutely!! We need strong male role models for young men these days. It’s quite sad.
He retired early as well
I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Haney several years ago. The Wisdom tempered with Genuineness and Humility left a LIFETIME impression on me.
Instant gratification is what the new generation wants!
Always wants to show off. Grabbing eye balls smh
Think that everyone owes them something
Right on point…I was born in 1963, and I started lifting weights when I was 13 years old. I was Bullied,beat down, and tired of it.

Say what you will, Mike gives his guest the floor until they're done speaking. That's a beautiful thing. Lee Haney 🐐
I totally agree I remember growing up in the 90’s and reading Flex and just being amazed by Lee Haney he has been a great influence for me…
Wow! Not one but two legends together. Thank you so much for doing this Mike and Lee!
Every generation says the generation after them is worse...
...and every generation is right
And every generation who is right is left.
Lee Haney is an all American Icon. So glad to see he is still physically capable and healthy. So many are crippled up or not here anymore
He isnt that old 65. You wanna know longevity Albert Beckles is 93
TotaLee Awesome! Mass with class and a life of character. "Stimulate, not annihilate." You both are champions in life, above & beyond the stage... Thanks Mike!

Lee Haney is a legend. Great physique behind an even greater man.
and people thought instagram was bad, TikTok brings out the worst in people ( sure there are exceptions ) but not many.....
Instagram is bad lol tik tok is even worse. Social media is the downfall of todays youth. It creates unreal expectations, destroys self esteem, relationships, etc.
Love when Haney Gives Knowledge or lays down what he Learned from mistakes
Love this episode ! This should be a weekly segment .
Lee is the best.
Deff keeps it real and delivers true simplistic wisdom.
Why no mention of Jesus? 😔
Cannot say enough about this interview it’s loaded with respect and I remember those days like yesterday

Lee Haney also had an enormous waistline... the cowbellies of these days does not impress me much....

Lee Haney = Man of Integrity. So much great advice in this interview and not bodybuilding.
Wow! The O.G is speaking out on this issue, amazing 👏
I used to watch his show on ESPN which was fun to watch! He would toy around with 405 Lbs with BB Rows or 500 Lbs with Bench.
I used to follow him in M&F magazine and the rest of them in that era! True legend and great guy!
tremendous wisdom from two legends. great energy and vibe.
Please do not forget Jesus. 😔

Completely agree
If these food cooperations succeed in gaining complete control of the food supply chain, then society will get far sicker than it is now.
They already have....
Respect isn't taught much anymore. Parents want their children to like them. They want to be their children's friends.
So True
Are you using PED’s? Yes or No. it’s a simple question that deserves a simple answer!
Answer is no , show respect to the legend , dont act loser , act winner by showing admiration
He's taking the fifth.
Lee is a Christian. Right on !!
Yeah, but he's a bit two faced cause Christians ain't supposed to be using drugs or illegal substances. We all know Lee was using PEDs all the way trough his pro career. The double standard didn't quite match his religious belives. Perhaps that bothered him too. I've never heard him talk about it.
