Lee Haney is the true GOAT. He also probably stayed in the best shape after competitive years as well. He looked stage ready into senior citizen age.

YES! Keep the classics coming bro, you're doing some great work on this channel, without a doubt, my favorite era in bodybuilding!💪🏾

Well, it was drug tested, and about a third of the potential contestants failed, so you know it was legitimate. Obviously none of these dudes were career naturals, but they were cycled off pretty heavily. It was the first time they had done this, and they weren't very good at it. I would honestly guess that most of them could attain this size and condition with lifelong natural training and proper peaking, but the way that people talk about this contest means that all that effort would go for naught.

When fans from the 80s saw oics of larry scott or harold poole do you think they thought "oh...these guys look like amateurs". What is it about young people of today that they cannot comprehend or appreciate that everyone and everything is a product of their times? 20 years from now fans of this "vlassic physique" will be looking at videos of classic P today and saying oh look how small they were." Gotta appreicate history and its pioneers. Note* This was a drug tested O unlike all the others. Everyone was much smaller even Haney. Hes only 230.

Great production. So much better than the garbage we get today streamed from someone’s flip phone sitting in the 11th row.

My favorite Olympia ever

I was at this Mr olympia. All competitors looked much smaller and smoother, due to being tested for steroids. In person the one who I thought looked the best and should have won it, was Mike Christian. He was also the crowd favorite. He was much bigger than haney and even his conditioning was better. Seeing the rest of these guys in person, they did not look that impressive. Jean favre, got screwed he should have gotten 2nd place. He looked much better than haney and the others.

I know Lee Haney won 8 Olympias. I also know that people respect him because of his family values, good nature and his religious values. I also feel that he is underrated. Over the years I have seen experts praise Coleman, Schwarzenegger, Yates, Zane and show warm respect to Lee Haney. Arnold is the best because he made so many of us fans of bodybuilding. Lee Haney had the best body (small waist) Coleman messed his waist up (too prodigious).

this was my look when i won a natty title back in 2002.

Yes, Benfatto was short but his symmetry was incredible for his size. With 10 cm more, he could easily aim for the top 3.

Wow Labrada was pissed, just walked off. Benfatto should've been higher, asthetic physique. It was downhill after this when the mass monsters would rule.

I hope they bring these rules back for testing, the way it's going now with the drug abuse is just madness. Doesn't represent real training at all imo.

Amazing physiques and huge men.

All are beautiful physique

My eyes must be deceiving me over and over again. I watched this contest every single decade. I saw the pictures. Lee Haney looked harder than Labrada. Haney had better, cuts in his abs, bigger arms, bigger chest, way more detail in back muscles and bigger legs. Btw. The were in love with Eddie Robinson.

Lee Labrada changed the least from the prior year, then Ray, then Haney. Haney's arms were way to small without the roids especially his triceps and his midsection was all washed out. Haney is my favorite Mr. O of all time but fair is fair and for this year, it should have been 1) Labrada 2) Ray 3) Haney

Real aesthetics

I see 0 bubble gut

Sept. 2023: Mike Quinn 2023, Andreas Münzer 1996, Frank Hillebrand 2011: diseased. How many contestants of last decade Mr. O. will be alive 30+ years later? I doubt, men's classic physique will change a lot on the obvious matter.

It's a good matchup with a lot of talent, but unfortunately this was the first ever drug tested mr. Olympia, and the drop-off in size and condition for this one year was enough to convince the ifbb to just pretend it's athletes weren't using drugs, with the exception of two years in 1996 and 2001 that they tested for diuretics.

Truth though...if Lee Labrada brought that exact same physique at even 5 foot 8...he would've won multiple times. It's just tough at the posedown when you're 5' 4".

Benfatto used very little steroids and it shows in the winner.

looks like they kinda overdieted wtf these guys are actually small

Gaspari looks beautiful
