Lee Priest was short, but had excellent genetics, which allowed him to gain muscle mass even at such an early age. Already at the age of 14, he entered the podium of competitions among juniors and won them, despite the fact that among the contestants there were guys 3-4 years older than him.

Lee Priest Training

Young Lee was read by sports literature, especially Muscle & Fitness and Flex magazines. He adored Arnold, he liked Tom Platz and Eddie Robinson. In itself, Lee has always been an extraordinary person, able to amaze with his shocking actions. Evidence of this is that he dyed his hair white to look like Tom Plaz. The athlete also loved comic books about Superman, which he imitated, even as an adult.

His mother was engaged in bodybuilding too, and when the guy was 15 years old, invited him to perform on stage together. They did it and they became the first. In such a pair, they performed more than once.

The first major bodybuilding competition was the Sydney Bodybuilding Classic, which took place in 1986 . In this tournament he won and taught his professional card according to IFBB. The victories that brought him popularity were Mr. Australia from 1989 to 1991 (3 consecutive years).

On the professional stage, Lee Priest had many ups and downs. He repeatedly performs at the main bodybuilding tournament "Mr. Olympia", but the result does not rise above the 6th. The athlete himself believes that everything is to blame for his low growth. Pretty early, Lee leaves bodybuilding, not just disappointed in him, but simply because she realizes that this is not his way of life. At this time, he was already actively involved in motor sports and set several speed records. Lee gradually lured the race. The last tournament in Lee’s career was a performance at the Grand Prix of Australia in 2006, where the champion took second place.

For some time, Lee Pris was married to professional bodybuilder Catti LeeFrancos. It seemed they were made for each other. They were comfortable, and they trained constantly together. But for unknown reasons, the couple broke up.

There were scandals and quarrels with the IFBB federation in the athlete's career. He tried to speak in another federation, but it didn’t lead to anything good. Not so long ago, the champion surprised everyone by making a huge tattoo on his entire body including his face. But we already spoke about the extraordinary nature of this athlete. Nevertheless, in ordinary life he is an excellent man who actively participates in charity and sends not small amounts twice a year to distribute dinners for homeless people.

Whatever it was, Lee will be remembered forever in the history of bodybuilding. He is a very colorful athlete, whose physique does not have, not a single athlete to this day. With a growth of 160 centimeters, he jammed the scales at around 130 kilograms and was passionately physically strong.
