Early Life

The birthplace of Lee is Fairburn, Georgia. He came into the world on 11th November 1959.  Lee spent most of his childhood days in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Lee Haney loved to believe in his dream. He trained his mind with the factor of “To See is To Determine.” Lee used to cover the walls of his bedroom with the posters of Robby Robinson. His library in the room used to be full of bodybuilding magazines. Lee was only twelve years old when he requested his parents to gift him “Weights” as the Christmas gift. It was the support of his parents that pushed him to go ahead. His parents also gifted him the training guide of “Charles Atlas.” This helped him a lot to follow the right guidance to train himself.

Moreover, after getting the weights as a gift, he joined the “Local YMCA.” It was the most beneficial step he took at that age. He met Danny Rogers there. Danny was astonished by his physiques. He praised Lee for having the most balanced physiques. Danny motivated him by suggesting him to follow Bodybuilding and become one of the greatest Bodybuilders in the globe. Danny not only gave him the advice but also trained him for four years and shaped him in great order by 1973.

Education

Lee Haney had received a fellowship for attending college. He was 18 years old during the time. But he refused the scholarship as he didn’t want to take his focus out of bodybuilding. Lee completed his graduation from “Spartanburg Methodist College.” His degree was in “youth counseling.” Lee was active in sports like football and basketball.

Bodybuilding

Lee Haney started his professional bodybuilding career in 1975. He was sixteen years old during that time. The tournament was “Mr.South Carolina Show” in 1975. He didn’t have any idea about the proper method of showcasing on the stage. Then, Lee appeared on the stage wearing a supermarket underwear. Although this immaturity failed to win him the title, it became the major reason for falling in love with the sports.

Likewise, Lee started focusing on bodybuilding in 1977. He also paused his studies in order to leave his college to fully focus on bodybuilding. This sacrifice paid off. He participated in the “1979 Teen Mr. America.” Lee succeeded to win the title. He was nineteen years during that time. It was the first title of Lee. Lee became more conscious about earning another title. He spent the upcoming three years in intensive training and following a strict diet to develop a great physique. Then, participated in the “Junior Nationals” in the category of “Heavyweight Division” in 1982. Lee succeeded to win the title.

He participated in seven tournaments. Although Lee failed to win a lot of titles in the year, he succeeded to develop a great shape in the world.
