8 time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney talks with Faith & Fitness Magazine contributor and Mr. Ontario Shawn Maves about the importance of health and wellness in bodybuilding.
LEE: A lot of bodybuilders think you can just push, push, push and not give true maintenance to the body. That never ends well.
SHAWN: Bodybuilding can be an addiction. A lot of guys will do whatever it takes to win. It’s a spiritual problem too. You can only put to death addiction by the Spirit of God. I hope things get better in the sport of pro-bodybuilding before they get worse.
LEE: That’s why I’m here. I know why the good Lord has placed me here in this arena; To do just what I’m doing now – To bring clarity and wisdom to the young athletes. I take joy in doing that.
