Total "Lee" Awesome Leg Training with Lee Haney

Ronnie has two leg days. Day 1: Squats, Leg Extension, Leg Press. Day 2: Front squats, Hack squats, Walking lunges. No more two exercise for hamstrings due to the quad exhaustion. Kevin on the other hand, does legs once a week. He likes to warm up first on the bike & light leg extensions, leg press, then squats. Now, Kevin loves doing front squats now more than the regular squat. Kevin uses a high rep leg movements from time to time. Kevin likes doing barbell squats over Smith machine squats due to more muscle recruited. Kevin talks about how to open the tendons in your knees. Kevin thinks chains are great for muscles & it more stress on the muscle for grow. Kevin has someone demo squats on being controlled & exploding up. If you wanna get more outer sweep in your quads, you want to do the movements close.

Lee wants people to understand basics & fundamentals of leg training. Lee Haney talks about the best routine ever. Leg extensions, leg press & then squats. You're pre-exhausting the legs. This will trick the body & make your legs respond by making the legs think it's using heavy weight. You're saving joints & your body for the long haul. Lee did 4 sets of leg extensions, 4 sets of leg press, 4-5 sets of squats, 4 sets of leg curls, 3 sets of stiff-leg deadlifts. He would do hack squats within 16-20 weeks from a show. Hack squats can tear your knees up if your doing them wrong. Lee is demoing the hack squats & tell everyone to push through the heels & squeeze the quads at the top. Lee also demos how stiff-leg deadlifts are great for the hamstrings & glutes.

Back Training with 8x Mr Olympia Lee Haney at the MD Legends Seminar

Back Training with Lee Haney

Lee talks about how he trained his back. First, pulldowns to the front. He learned his lesson from doing pulldowns to the rear. Next is the chin-ups. Next, he would do a power movement such as Barbell row. The true massive size in the back. Plus, T-Bar row is also a power movement. Rhythmic movements are first like pulldowns or chin-ups then power movements like barbell row or t-bar row. Back to another rhythmic movement is cable row. Last is back to a power movement. So, it's rhythmic, power, rhythmic & power for his back training. It's ok to add the Hammer Strength machines with back training. Never arched, always neutral during t-bar, db & barbell row. Never use reverse grip barbell row Lee Haney says! Get your full stretch for pulldowns or chin-ups.

Arm Training with 8 x Mr Olympia Lee Haney at the MD Legends Seminar

MD Legends Seminar! - Lee Haney Arm Training

Lee says Barbell or Db curls as your foundation, 2nd is preacher curls or incline db curls for peak & 3rd or your finisher is concentration curls. When your doing bb or db curls, you gotta "throw some butt into it." When doing preacher curls, don't sit back on it, you gotta lean into it. You put more stress on the bicep & it's a rhythmic movement. With concentration curls, put your elbow inside of your knee & lean into it. Use a push-pull set-up when you train.
