Lee Haney Workout

Lee has contributed a lot to the sport of bodybuilding over the years and is probably the most famous for his quote "train to stimulate, not annihilate." It is this type of training philosophy that has helped so many beginners in creating training routines that work.

Lee believes very strongly in high volume training using moderate weights and always using full range of motion. He has always stressed the importance of meeting your body's recuperation abilities very squarely with sensible weight selection and not just banging out sets and reps without thinking about the repair that needs to be done.

Lee strongly believes that the eccentric movement of any exercise is the most important and it should always be done with slow deliberation and focus before exploding into the concentric part of an exercise. Lee trains using reps ranging from 6 to 15 and never goes lower or higher, always using very strict form and control which he says is vital if you want to grow the muscle.

His workouts would be split into chest and biceps on one day, quads and hamstrings the next day and back and calves on the third day. He would rest on the fourth day.

A typical chest routine would look like this which is something he would stick to for most of the year.

Bench-press 4-5 sets of 6-8 reps each
Dumbbell Press 3 sets of 10-12 reps
Barbell Incline Press 3 sets of 6-8 reps
D/B incline Press 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps
Cable cross-overs 3 sets of 15-20 reps
Dips 3 sets of 15 reps
