Lee Priest: 4 Weeks Out from the Ironman

[ihateschoolmt]

no, he really is like 5'2 or 5'3. I am 5'5 and when i stood next to him i was looking down at him....lol

Almost none of the bodybuilders are as tall as they say they are, my dad is 6'1 and took a picture next to Arnold and he was 2 or 3 inches taller than him.

yeah, they lie in the publications. I think Gunter says he is like 6 foot. But my budy is 6'1" and stood next to him. he looked like he was under 6 foot to me.

Just take a look at the CellTech ads that flood BB mags.

They show Lee in the offseason, fat as hell.
Then he's pictured after he "uses" CellTech.

Lee stopped endorsing Muscle Tech at least a year and a half ago.

He's old-school all the way, even more so than Ronnie when it comes to bulking in the off-season. I think he proves that mass quantities of food become a strong anabolic.

Your information on Lee is a little out of date. The last year and half, he has not been getting super bulked/fat in the offseason and he says he will not be doing that ever again. This past offseason, he got up to only 235-240 instead of the 280 in the past and will go on stage probably in the 215-220 range. Take a look at his columns in Muscular Development.

Lee, before and after. Hard to believe it's the same guy, huh? How he can cut up like that is beyond me.

Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware, I don't read the mags.

So there goes my theory, eh?!

But I swear, I saw a recent (last 6 months) pic of him on BB.com and he was no 240--more like 260 minimum--big and bloated. His face changes and he looks like a pudgy little boy.

 

[Arnold]

yeah the dumbass finally wised up and realized the risk he was putting his heart at.

he just has to cut THAT much harder than the other guys who remain relativel lean while they bulk up in the offseason (prob 95% of the other pros)

he hasta be that much more strict on his drugs, diet and cardio.

personally i don't know why he'd do that. it's alot like Levrone used to do. He'd train/eat his ass off for a few months, diet for a comp for like 2mo., then he'd take 2 or 3 months off completely.

 

[Arnold]

speaking of Levrone I think he went natural, check the pics:

Its all part of a scam that not just Muscle Tech, but many of the thermogenic supplement makers perpetuates. The person intentionally stops training and eats everything in sight so that they get fat, as Lee is in the first pic, then resumes training, gets a tan and viola, "Look at me after I took such and such".

Anna Nicole Smith just pulled the same scam with Stacker II and don't be surprised if you see Ophra Winfrey, Ms Yo Yo herself. doing the same thing in the future.

Here's a couple of articles on these scams:

The pros don't do it b/c the supp. companies want them to, they do it for competition sake. The pros do it by choice, then the supp co's take advantage of that and make up stories.

I would think Lee cares MUCH more about his pro career as opposed to making MuscleTech happy. If he didn't have a pro career, Mustletech wouldn't want him anyway.

besides, ALL the supp. co's do that anyways, not just the guys who go from super fat to shredded. Look at all the pros who are featured in all the mag's ads. Whether its for protein, creatine or whatever, its so consumers will see an ENORMOUS BB with an unbelievable physique, and what the co. is hoping is that they will associate the product with the pro, so people will buy, simple as that. Much the same as Nike and MJ, and every other pro athlete or celeb who endorses something...

Not necessarily. If Melvin Anthony is dialed in (which can happen), he beats Lee. Same with Chris Cormier ( but I DON'T think that will happen). Not putting down Lee, but he can come in looking great and still get beat by someone who is even better on that day.

OOOPPPSS!!! Lee finished second to Gustavo Badell( no shame there), but he beat Troy Alves ( 3rd) and Melvin Anthony ( 4th!!). From the pictures, it looked like Badell just out massed him.

Where are all the Mark Dugdale ( 8th) and Frank Roberson (14th) fans now?

I love lee!
He was the reason i got interested in bodybuilding

The first mag i ever picked up when i was like 10 or 7 or something
and it featured him, man he was so awesome i wanted to be just like him

i still think he's the best bb ever

 

[myCATpowerlifts]

and he's 5'3"!!!
he says so all the time

 

[musclepump]

Isn't there a fat-ass picture of Lee in the muscle mags endorsing Ripped Fuel?

 

[ACEOUTDOOR]

I think he endorses all TWINLAB products now. He is on their website too.

 

[sgtneo]

he looks awsome, and the 8 pack is very good for someone of his sise, i was pretty impressed by it

I'm 5'11 and a couple inches taller than Jay, but I'm shorter than Gunter. Taller than Michal Kindred, Troy Alves, Chris Cook and Tommy Thorvidsen too
