Lee's arms, especially his forearms are as good as they come, but I think that Frank McGrath has him beat in the forearm department, as he has everyone else with great forearm development, such as Dorian Yates, Alex Federov, Mike Mentzer, Gunner Rosbo etc etc.

I think Ronnie,Jay and some of the other big boys got MAD forearms,its just that they are proportional.
Ronnie forearms are as big as they get,but his bi/tri are too,so it doesnt look that freaky.

But yeah Frank got great arms/forearms.

BTW ....GAY ALERT! That outfit Lee wears .....damn...talk about Napoleon syndrom.

Lee, you looked excellent. Infection and all, you nailed your condition and looked unbelievable. Good luck at the Olympia as well.

Gotta give it up to you lee, you've NEVER looked better.

Hey Shawn you know what they say.
YOU CAN WISH IN ONE HAND AND SHIT IN THE OTHER,AND SEE WHAT FILLS UP FIRST.

You are so sad now it is pretty bad to see a former champ like you just going down hill with out the brakes.You little fallen angel.

Right on! We need more people like Lee in this sport. He was the only one that is not scared of a little change! hey guys...change isn't always bad and $20K, that is a handsome payday!

Don't forget that our esteemed IFBB leader here Chic hasn't made this much money with the IFBB and he has been in the IFBB longer than Lee in the PDI. Chic must compete for the love of it not the money.

Also, no reason why other IFBB pros won't jump ship especially those who make no money at it. There are more andmore contests coming up and at least they can call themselves a professional BB that makes money. Right now they are pros who make nothing. And actually getting paid for what you do qualifies you as a professional. So even though these guys have a pro card with the IFBB they are not actually pros until they win some money. Right now they are actually paying the IFBB to stay a pro yet will never win money. Man, itmust be great to be an IFBB pro.

Whilst Lee often has the right idea you shouldn't give him too much credit for his actions. They are mostly calculated moves and far from risky. Lee knows that he has enough image in the industry to get away with competing in the PDI and coming back to the IFBB. Oh they might suspend him for a little while but they know he brings in fans and they'll do what it takes to keep the money rolling.

He just went and got an easy first place with a tidy purse. Hardly the "ballsy" move some of you guys think it is. He knows he can get away with it and he did it.. good for him. Few of the other pros could seriously do what he is talking about risk free. Yes onlyme, other pro's don't get much money from the IFBB but I doubt many sponsors would support a move to the PDI. Take nothing away from the PDI or Lee's win but Lee is an exception and he doesn't represent a good example to the lesser notorious pro's on why they should go to the PDI. He represents a good example of how if you're well known you can get away with almost anything. There are very few pro's who are better known than Lee.

Get your facts straight big man...

I won 10K for the Masters...7,500 at the NOC, 6K at the SW pro, 4K at the SOS, 1K at the Arnold...this is purely just from prize money...the majority of what I've made in BB is a DIRECT result of being a Pro BB in the IFBB...numerous contracts, endorsement deals, guest posings, appearancees, seminars, etc....

Lets not start comparing the PDI with the IFBB...they are two different worlds...even Wayne doesn't compare the two, as he has stated many times.

If you want to claim victory merely because the show actually took place...so be it. Given the history of cancelled shows, etc...I suppose it is a victory in some way. The crowd was certainly not a "sell out", at least not in terms of actually selling tickets...as we all know that somewhere between 500-1,000 tickets were given away to fill seats....there also seems to be a lack of sponsorship dollars. Even Wayne isn't stupid enough to bankroll the PDI out of his own pocket if there is no $$ coming in...

Shit...the WBF lasted 2 years...with bigger exposure, bigger purse, guaranteed contracts, better talent, a magazine, and a supplement line....they STILL folded tent.

If they're looking for a nitch market of a nitch market...they could certainly continue. The question is...will it gain support, or lose it given the calliber of competition?

good points,it's a tough fight to win,sponsorship is what get's this industry going and growing.

Lee deserves more than $20,000 for competing in that mess. His name has been pimped and promoted for the PDI to the tune of more than $20,000.

That group of "competitors" was pathetic, take away Lee and there was nothing to see.

The PDI is dead. It was a nice concept but that's all it was.

Lee, Congrats on the show. I knew it would work out alright. you looked crazy.

It was truly incredible to see how Lee pulled it together in the last two weeks. Infection, Root canal, and the rest of whatever he does to dial in. It had to be rough. Mad props to Lee!!

Lee it must feel great knowing in any PDI show it's another pay day.None of the guys who competed with you could beat you,not for a few years anyway.Must be nice to have that knowledge.Lets hope the train keeps running.Get on boared the PDI Money Train.
