Lee Haney

Lee Haney (born November 11, 1959) is an American former IFBB professional bodybuilder. Haney shares the all-time record for most Mr. Olympia titles at eight with Ronnie Coleman and is regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders to ever grace the stage. Haney grew up in Spartanburg, South Carolina. He is a graduate of Spartanburg Methodist College, where he earned a degree in youth counseling. He married Irish model Shirley Draper Haney in 2003 after dating for three years. They had a son, born in 2003, and a daughter in 2005. The family resides in Atlanta, Georgia.

President Bill Clinton appointed Haney chairman of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. A devout born again Christian, Haney has his own program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network called "TotaLee Fit with Lee Haney," where he is usually joined by famous Christian sportsmen, and on occasion his wife. On the show he teaches the importance of both physical and spiritual growth. One of his most famous quotes is that we should "train to stimulate, not annihilate."

In 2014, Haney was inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame.
