Lee Priest

reached his peak at 22 lol

The music

terrible. These shorties have a huge advantage for muscle growth due to their limbs being so short.

In the very rare instances when he was on, I'd have Danny 1st, followed by Momo and Priest. Labrada is listed at 5'6", so I wouldn't include him with these guys. Actually Priest is about 5'5" and so is Franco.

Momo Benaziza. Complete, freaky back and the only guy to beat Dorian Yates.

lee haney did

I know - I was talking about the guys in that list.

I'd say Momo would beat Danny Padilla and Lee Labrada in the muscularity round. Lee Priest is big, but doesn't have Momo's back.

Sherief Shalaby · « **Reply #30 on:** April 01, 2010, 11:47:36 PM »

imo..

1- padilla (nearly no flaws, everything was just right)..
2- benaziza (everything was great except his calves, if he had good calves i would have put him no. one with no question)..
3- makaway (same as padilla but needed some more back details.. one of the best posers ever!!)..
4- labrada (needed more back size and details and lacked the "wow" factor)..
5- comumbo (gyno and poor quads.. i am not sure about his best shape ever)..
6- priest (clearly long torso and needed more back size and details)..

You're wrong about all their heights....haha

Labrada IS 5'4" (HAS been listed at this height, as well as 5'5")
Priest is 5'3" (articles on him stating he is almost 5'4", putting him in the 5'3" range).
Franco was 5'3"-5'4" (he was barely taller than 5'2" Danny Padilla in 1981)

Makaway or Padilla, given the level of Competition Makaway beat as compared to Danny id say Makaway by a nose

Padilla had no flaws, physique-wise:

Even as he got older and tried to play the size game the flawless lines and proportions were still there. Perfectly proportioned. Franco placing ahead of him in 1981 was one the biggest travesties in bodybuilding history.

ever seen him from the back?

Colombu ridiculous from the back...

Probably the best lat spread of all time.

Padilla can't touch that.

As for lee priest....

No back and 8 abs rather than a chest....

Post a lee priest chest pic that can even come close to that.

padilla 2 ...........priest 1

though i would have liked to see danny in his prime in the early 80s with the access to some of the more advanced drugs that lee had access too in the 90s

my personal opinion is that franco is one of the most over-rated bodybuilders of all time, he just rode the politics of arnolds coat tails

Padilla rode Franco and Arnold Lee rides no one but fitness gals!

Danimal77 · « **Reply #40 on:** April 02, 2010, 10:44:30 AM »

Flavio Baccianini should be included in this list as well. He was criminally overlooked in the early 90's because he was only 4'10"-4'11".

Dreadlifter · « **Reply #41 on:** April 02, 2010, 10:55:45 AM »

Makawy for me. Great from head to toe. Not much to complain about on Momo or Padilla.

Baccianini looked good, but at that size i don't consider him a proper human and therefore ineligible for consideration in this thread.

5'5" Lee Labrada

You're joking, right?
Google "Lee Labrada height" and watch have EVERY listing comes up as 5'6". That being said, I've stood next to him and I'd go with 5'5".
Priest states in a GETBIG interview ( http://www.getbig.com/iview/priest040213.htm ) that he's NOT 5'3", but 5'4 1/2"-5'5". I've seen him in person a number of times too. He ain't 5'3".
I've met Franco too. He isn't 5'3" either. At this stage he could be 5'4" though.
Thanks for your expert input though...
