5.0 out of 5 stars TOTA-LEE AWESOME, Lee Haney will change the way you live!, April 12, 1999

This review is from: Mr Olympia Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

regardless of whether or not you bodybuild, this video is highly entertaining. Lee Haney is a character, his energy and exuberance will motivate you to do whatever your goals may be. Lee's knowledge is universal, he may be describing the proper technique for doing squats and it will sound like he's counseling you about just about anything. "the mind has got to connect with the muscle, 'cause one without the other equals zero!" this quote stands out in my memory and exemplifies Lee's insight into life in general, because in any activity it is important to stay conscious.

5.0 out of 5 stars The rabbit and the hound dog, May 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mr Olympia Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"The rabbit and the hound dog" is just one of the many metaphorical antecdotes that enlightens my life after experiencing "Lee Haney's Mr. Olympia Workout"

This gem of bodybuilding philosophy is a must see! Lee Haney trancends any preconcieved notions you may have about bodybuilding or even about life in general. His technique is perfect of course, but beyond his physical workout, Haney reveals the real meaning of self-challenge, "Let's roll baby". Haney will inspire you to excell in all facets of your life with profoundly motivational insights on self-esteem, personal goals, and piercingly real awarness of our pupose in life. "That's what it takes to be number one, the muscle and the mind must become one." Beneath the surface of "Lee Haney's Mr. Olympia Workout" there is precious wisdom. Leave it to Mr. Total Lee Awsome Lee Haney to inspire your workout and bring true meaning to life. "Come on Haney!"

3.0 out of 5 stars Bodybuilding history, April 13, 2007

This review is from: Mr Olympia Workout [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Lee haney is an important piece of bodybuilding history. In this video he appears to be an energetic, likeable guy with a sense of humour. However his workout instructions are far from solid. I can't even count the number of wrong things he says (regarding what's safe and what's not, how different exercises supposedly "hit" different sections of muscles, his explanations on stretching, joints etc). It's another fine example of how genetics and determination rather than scientific training will determine how big you'll get. Don't get me wrong, many of the things Haney says are correct and his workout will work ok for most people, but so will most of the routines you find around the net - excluding the stupid or dangerous ones. But in your neighbourhood gym there are probably people who know more about training than Lee Haney. But, as it is usual and unfortunate, people with exceptional genetics and titles will be considered "experts".

Anyway, if you are aware that you should watch this video not as a training guide but rather as a documentary about a bodybuilding myth, then it is well-worth your time. Lee Haney is indeed inspirational and more warm and accessible than most pros.
