Title: Lee Priest - Best teen ever?
Post by: Julio Ceasar on February 13, 2016, 10:50:36 PM


Have there been anyone better? Musclemass, quality, proportions, maturity, definition? No lagging parts.

I'm fucking impressed. Great posing to! Dude must be a genius!

Fantastic bodybuilder indeed. I am not sure I would say genius with what he has done with his facial tattoos.  :-\

 Lagging parts and lagging genetics are two seperate things. Lee's made the best of what he was born with and is an excellent bodybuilder.

He`s up there with Casey Viator,maybe also Ian Harrison,but my pick would be Brian Buchanan.

This is where it's clear who has the genes for bodybuilding. At his age, holding that amount of muscle mass is a rarity. Even on tons of steroids.

Suprised the oak hadn't been mentioned, Sean ray turned pro at 21 also if memory serves correct... There is no long journey to size, it happens in a few yrs

Lee might be an insecure opinionated over tattooed midget, but he was also a genetic freak of a teenager and one of the best short bodybuilders ever.

A 19 year old Mike Mentzer did not look bad either. All genetics, volume training and GOMAD.

No because it is not easy to look, like that even if you are short at such a young age.

Just wanted to point out it's easier when you are smaller.
Big people will have it generally harder to fill out their frame.

Even with 19 he looked quite "grown up". Later on the moustache sealed the deal.  :D

Never realized Buchanan was that young there.

He won the junior britain in 81 while still 18,this is a pic from that show,then the other pic was from a guest spot just before the 82 britain final when he placed 2nd in the mister class.I`ve never seen anyone gain so much in the space of one year.

Bonus point for using the theme from The Munsters as posing music.

Also where is Shane Dimora?  Didn't he win the middleweight nationals at 19?

DiMora was very good as a teen

Eddie Robinson

Lee Haney

dont forget that priest had the aid of GH from the age of 12.

that makes it difficult to compare to the other teens.

word on the street (i knew of a few guys who knew him well at that age) is that he had the gear going very early- as early as late 15 year old.

a nice mix of gear and GH (for his hereditary height issue) at those ages wouldnt hurt muscle mass.

I remember hearing stories about Brian from the gym owner where I first started training, he ate 3 whole bbq chickens each day, said he had never seen anyone eat so much food and it was all mainly protein. Guy was huge in the gym pics, absolute freak, I met him years later when  he presented an overall  trophy to me, really nice guy was really overweight at the time then 8 weeks later was in shape, never seen a transformation like it, genetic freak.

Only 2 people have ever made me feel like quitting training,one was Brian,the other was Vince Brown,both juniors the same time as me and when i saw Vince sat in front of me at the 82 Mr Nottingham i thought whats the point in training,he`d beat the guys in the mister class the year before while still a junior.Met Brian in 85 when he guest posed at the Mr Mansfield and was a really nice guy,he bought Amoury Francis with him and when Amoury found out there was prize money in the show he entered and won.
