I am pleased to announce that 8-time Mr. Olympia, Lee Haney will be writing an exclusive monthly column in MD starting next month!
In 1991, Lee became the first 8-time consecutive Mr. Olympia champion. Lee held that record for fourteen years until October 2005, when Ronnie Coleman tied Lee’s Olympia record.
Months before Lee’s eighth and final Mr. Olympia win against Dorian Yates, I signed Lee to an exclusive contract with Twin Lab; who also owned Muscular Development, and Lee wrote a column at that time. Prior to joining TwinLab and MD, Lee was on contract with Weider.
I met Lee for the first time when he won the very first Nationals in 1982 (check out Shawn Rays’ Day in the Life and Nationals Interview on MDTV with Lee this weekend in Atlanta!)
I have the utmost respect and admiration for Lee and his personal values; his religious and spiritual belief, and for his commitment to family!
Lee was one of bodybuilding’s greatest ambassadors who helped set the highest possible standards in the sport and a positive image of bodybuilding.
Lee is a great champion both on and off the bodybuilding stage and I am so thrilled to have him back at MD and part of our team!
