8x Mr O Lee Haney has earned some blowback for recent comments he made about where the sport of bodybuilding finds itself. It’s kind of curious to me that he would be getting any kind of negative attention for stating the obvious. Over the years we have seen where contemporary bodybuilders do not really want to hear from their predecessors unless it is to sing their praises. Modern day bodybuilders must be aware of the fact that the sport has not advanced but rather has retrograded in the time since the 90’s and early 2000s.

So today I’d like to talk about health and competing and when it’s time to call it quits for a competitive year. The subject of today’s article is none other than Sasan Heirati. Otherwise known simply as Sas. I think nicknames are important, especially for international athletes whose names maybe don’t ring quite as commonly as John Smith or Bob Jones or something like that. I think a nickname is important – although not all competitors have one. For example, look at Derek Lunsford; he’s a past Mr O champion and the current year’s Arnold Classic champion. Lunsford has never had a nickname. That being said, let’s get back to the topic at hand. And that is health and well-being.
