to 1991
A devoted born again Christian, Haney has his own program on the Trinity Broadcasting
Network called "TotaLee Fit with Lee Haney," where is usually joined by famous Christian
sportsmen and on occasion his wife. On the show he teaches the importance of both physical

not annihilate."

In October 2005, Ronnie Coleman tied Haney's Mr Olympia record becoming only the second person
to win eight Mr. Olympia titles back to back since its inception after Haney had held the
record for an astonishing fourteen years.
His reign ushered in an era where back development (both Latissimus dorsi and Trapezius) has
been seen as the ultimate goal in bodybuilding.[citation needed]

Psychology. He was also a member of the football team while in college.
