Lee Priest was one of the first pros to use GH - true?

[gib]

I hear an intersting roumor that well before most people were using GH, Lee Priest was legally prescribed GH as an experimental treatment for dwarfism after his mother consulted a doctor about is height (the thinking being that if taking it as a teenager it might make him grow taller). He had already started working out, and on the GH he started making crazy gains in terms of muscle size. And then the rest of course is history, and 10 years later many more people started using it.

Has anyone heard of this before? (this is not a joke email by the way - I heard it from a reasonable reliable bodybuilding source).

[QuakerOats]

probably not but he used a hell of a lot more than he claims he used.

[spinnis]

the GH treatment dose is probaly VERY LOW = Not enough  to stimulate muscle growth

[medz zeppelin]

she should have tried lifts

Doubt it. Lee's got some crazy genetics, but I don't doubt that he stumbled upon some dbol or var while in high school considering how much time he spent in the gym. I think that he's bullshitting a little about doses, but I honestly do believe that he uses a moderate amount of drugs. He's not the most intelligent person in the world and I'm sure he exaggerates, but he's pretty honest and genuine. Either way, I'd kill for genetics like his.

Nonsense. Just another so-called legend on the bodybuilding rumour mill. I wouldn't be surprised if Lee himself started it.

[Stavios]

bullshit, lee only take a CC of winstrol every 2 weeks

[aussiepro]

lee actually started this rumor when he first came onto the scene many years ago..
He actually addresses it in then new MD

rHGH became available in 1986 or so, just when Lee turned 14.  so even if he did receive low dose gh from a doctor, it was not well before the pros were using it.

Wait you mean to tell me Lee really didnt just do 200mgs of Decca, and 500 mgs of test for all of his shows like he claims?

  The first thing every single pro says is that they don't use much gear and it's the lower level guys who use it all. If the drugs are 5% of it ...why do the physiques drastically change everytime the drugs change? 

 They might like to underplay the importance of drugs and their response to them but the truth lies more in this side of the court than the 'we train harder than anyone else' side.

[honest]

Children are given large amounts 3 times weekly usually the whole bottle, so dosages of around 12iu in one whole shot 3 times weekly.
I have been at a seminar where Lee was asked that question and his reply was he knew of the rumour and that it was untrue, all his family are short, but no dwarfs, i believe him and also believe that hes not a huge user but i believe its more than what he says he uses.

[regmac]

AND??   Your point???     Good thing the sport is NOT so popular or this rumor'd be on ESPN tonight!!!!!

[regmac]

Truth is,   he took FLINTSTONE Vitamins but only ate the Pebbles ones.  Stunted his growth a bit   but made his arms bigger    and caused him to talk IRISH.

[Old-Skool]

I warned you a-holes, only take the "BAMM-BAMMS"!
