In a recent video (October 25, 2026), <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/bodybuilding\/athletes\/lee-haney\/\" class=\"bb-athlete-link\" data-athlete-slug=\"lee-haney\">Lee Haney<\/a> warned that judges are awarding near-death conditioning and setting a dangerous precedent in the Men\u2019s Open division.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cThe recent results of the 2026 Mr. Olympia open class was thrown into total disarray. Those of us who grew up in the classical era tend to measure bodybuilders in the criteria established during the physiques of the past. That was the standards demanded and expected of us. What determined the placing hedged on symmetry, muscularity, and posing. Points were awarded in all three areas. Not just one but a point system that combined the three.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Haney, judging standards were tossed to the side following the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/2026-mr-olympia-results\/\">Olympia contest<\/a>. Instead of determining a winner based on symmetry, muscularity, and <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/27290\/understanding-the-difference\/\">posing<\/a>, he maintains that extreme conditioning is being awarded more heavily in today\u2019s era:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cThe recent outcome of the Olympia appears to award muscularity (conditioning) only. Which says to future bodybuilders that symmetry and posing is no longer part of the stand to being a complete Olympian. As a result the Mr. Olympia open class is truly open to whoever, brings the best and most dangerous level of conditioning near death as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"lee-haney-sounds-alarm-on-extreme-conditioning-in-mens-open-class\">Lee Haney Sounds Alarm on Extreme Conditioning in Men\u2019s Open Class\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>In the post, Haney cautioned judges who want athletes to present drier and tighter looks onstage:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s right\u2026. near Death as possible. When the scoring systems of the past were removed, bodybuilders were thrust in the perils of dangers unseen or experienced in times past. Hear me well judges\u2026 consider what you\u2019re asking: Tight and Drier can sometimes mean DEATH. Call it like it is. There, I said it and meant every word unapologetically\ud83e\udef5\ud83c\udffd,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/De0Q6oGP7jp\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said<\/a> Lee Haney.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He went as far as to say that judges have blood on their hands and called for the scoring system to be reset.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fv-inline-newsletter-5\" class=\"fv-newsletter\" style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-radius:8px;padding:30px 35px;margin:30px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.06);\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 15px;font-size:1.5em;font-weight:700;color:#222;\">Get Fitter, <em>Faster<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:1em;color:#444;line-height:1.6;\">Level Up Your Fitness: Join our \ud83d\udcaa strong community in Fitness Volt Newsletter.

When you say this to these athletes, it\u2019s danger, that\u2019s why I emphasize the scoring system needs to be reset, I feel. This way there\u2019s a score given for posing, a score given for symmetry, and a score given for muscularity. By doing it in that way, the athletes are scored in several different phases. When you just look at muscularity only or conditioning only, it sets a dangerous precedent. That\u2019s what we\u2019re starting to see more of.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s easy when you\u2019re sitting there with a pencil and paper, jotting this stuff down, you\u2019re making demands upon these athletes and they are trying to play to the beat of your drum or the sound of your music. It\u2019s not dangerous for you. You\u2019re not going to be missing a kidney or a brain bleed or dying prematurely. That\u2019s my whole deal here. I\u2019m not beating up the athletes,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4tfznrQqns4&amp;t=235s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">added<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This hasn\u2019t been Lee Haney\u2019s first serious warning about the sport\u2019s direction. He recently argued that athletes are <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/lee-haney-calls-out-current-state-of-bodybuilding\/\">destroying their kidneys and causing possible heart attacks<\/a> in pursuit of drier physiques. The eight-time Mr. Olympia emphasized that deaths are on the rise among younger athletes in the IFBB Pro League.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With Walker\u2019s unlikely Olympia triumph, questions about the Open class standards have taken center stage. Haney believes the sport would benefit as a whole if judges stopped awarding extreme conditioning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessvolt.com\/lee-haney-drug-use-global-judging\/\">Lee Haney Warns Against Harmful Drug Use in Bodybuilding, Pushes for Global Judging Panels<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"watch-the-full-video-from-the-ron-harris-muscle-youtube-channel-below\"><strong><em>Watch the full video from the Ron Harris Muscle YouTube channel below:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"4tfznrQqns4\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lee Haney: Extreme conditioning can be deadly!\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4tfznrQqns4?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<aside class=\"fv-gnews-follow\" aria-label=\"Follow FitnessVolt\">\n<div class=\"fv-gnews-inner\">\n<p>\n                    <strong>Follow FitnessVolt<\/strong><br \/>\n                    <span>Breaking strength sports news, expert training guides, and competition coverage direct to your feed<\/span>\n                <\/p>\n<nav class=\"fv-gnews-social\" aria-label=\"FitnessVolt social media\">Also find us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FitnessVolt\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fitnessvoltnetwork\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fitness_volt\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X (Twitter)<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCWHcXX6Zd8Kti_Uujn0E4Nw\/?sub_confirmation=1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/nav>\n<p class=\"fv-gnews-hint\">Tip: Signed in to Google?
