Lee Priest

[Carlton G. Long]

wider than Heath

taller than Coach

[MCWAY]

Please qualify won multiple open shows ? the 212 is still the pro division, He could have won nabba twenty years ago, its a second rate organisation for those who can't make it in the IFBB,or at best guys use it as a stepping stone to the IFBB. Lee never won a show as a pro, I think Flex Lewis is now better than he ever was, but would still like to see them go head to head, Lee clearly still has the passion to compete even though he's ruined his physique with all the ink. Shame he's banned, but

Priest won the 2002 San Francisco Pro, the 2005 Australian Pro, and, in 2006, he won the IronMan Pro Invitational, before defecting to PDI and winning its Night of Champions. And as mentioned earlier, he has placed top 6 at the Olympia multiple times.

He's bee in the top 10 at the Olympia at least 5 times, in an era where placing top 10 at the O qualified you for the next year's O. So as stated earlier, why would he need to do 212s (especially since he won his first pro show at 199 lb.)?

No sources, I have been around a while now, and am an aussie and have learned the odd dirty secret here and there.  But use your brain, how often to you see a 17 year old with muscle like this from eating chicken and broccoli and drinking Joe Weider's Protein mega shakes.

So....your brain tells you secret government experiment is more likely than roids? Interesting!

There was nothing secret about it.  And no teen back then had easy access to roids, let alone the amount required to obtain Lee's physique.  Roids were and still are very hard to find in Australia compared to the USA.(That's why they cost so much).

His mum was a competitive bodybuilder

[MCWAY]

When asked how big he could have been without anabolic steroids, Lee claims he'll never know but that he did OK, considering he won Mr. Australia three times without them.

Have you seen his Mum, she was near anorexic, hardly the local steroid dealer.  Ask yourselves, where does a teenage schoolboy with no source of income get a boatload of steroids to start a bodybuilding career and become a professional by the age of 20?

Oh well then, if Lee says it, it must be true.

OK, so let's say Lee is indeed a genetic marvel. He has been able to compete at the highest of levels using far less than others as claimed. Let us just say, for the sake of argument, that he used 3gms/wk of AAS and 6iu/wk hgh. At that amount he is recognized as a world class bber. But when it comes to stepping on stage with the elite such as in the Arnold and the Olympia he's not really a threat, never breaking the top three at the Arnold nor the top 5 at the O. In fact, his last O in 2003 he placed a dismal 15th.

Now he keeps competing so we can assume that he wants to win these shows. And being a pro bber he has an obsessive personality and is willing do whatever it takes to win. He reasons that if he got this far on 3 grams imagine what he could do if he started to match or exceed what his competitors are doing?

The idea that a pro bber who keeps losing is going to keep doing the same thing, especially someone like Priest,  just does not comport with common sense. I mean, even if you are number one you are going to keep pushing the envelop and keep trying to advance. Look at Ronnie. Freaky genetics. Hormone abuser. Already won the O. But he keeps pushing to get bigger and bigger, freakier and freakier... until he reached even his genetic limit and just got a bigger and bigger waistline.

Like all top of the top bodybuilders, they are all fanatics, obsessive, a bit crazy -- as all champions have to be. To be number one in anything you are by definition not normal.

Lee Priest was/is a hormone abuser like the rest of them.

I know he was lying when he said he started at age 19, those pics at age 17 are better than most on a shit load of steroids...

He is over 200 pounds and muscular in those vids after claiming he's been off for 8 months.

I want to believe him, but no way you make it to the Olympia stage and win pro shows on 2 cc of deca and 2 cc of parabolin a week for 8 weeks.  That's just crazy.   Maybe if it was every other day and throw in a few grams of test

[MCWAY]

As opposed to believing some anonymous posters who think anyone with two ounces more muscle than they have must be taking everything but the kitchen sink, in the most ungodly quantities, and from the moment they first lifted their brother's/father's/uncle's cement weights.

Obsessive? He took 7 years off and, to my knowledge, only did ONE show: the NABBA Universe, two years ago.

So Lee had one off year in 2003. The previous year, he placed 6th. It happens. We've seen Dennis Wolf go from 4th in 2008 to "16th" (aka DNP) in 2009.

Where?   From the gays?

Wasn't Lee's dad gay? And his mom a bodybuilder. Imagine the type of "shit" Lee saw as a young kid. Lee had access through both of those avenue's..

What? As the story goes, Lee's parents divorced when he was a little boy, because his mom found out his dad was gay. Lee got bullied because of his father's gayness, to the point where his mother moved to another town. Lee went years without even talking to his father, much less getting steroids from him.

In fact, when Lee's mom remarried, she gave him his stepdad's last name, "Priest", which Lee has used ever since then.

I'm pretty sure there's some irony in trading your gay dad for a Priest and then growing up to poop on girl's bellies while posing for gay schmoes.

What does taking off or even competing have to do with being obsessive? There are guys that never step on stage that are obsessive about their bodies and hormone intake. Remember Trevor Smith? Trained like a mad man and was a well known hormone abuser and student of Paul Borresson. Had plans to be a legit 400lbs on stage.

Never competed.

No matter how good someone gets, they always want to be better. At least if you are a world class competitor.
