Lee Priest: "Bodybuilding is better AND worse today!"

[@gwynroberts8624]

Channels growing and great interviews Ron . Thanks

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

@@gwynroberts8624 appreciate you watching!

[@tomsharkey243]

Keep up the good work Ron....there is definitely a place for quality non click bait bodybuilding journalism.....looking forward to seeing the channel grow....keep pumping out the content

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

@ Thanks. It can be frustrating- a few days ago I clicked on a video titled ‘What no one is talking about in the Jeff Nippard situation,’ and it was a trick. The guy talked purely about how he just got a new deadlift PR - and it had 30K views! 😡

[@jasselholm]

Lee is always a blast! Great interwiev Ron 🙂

[@jaredmuller171]

Man this was a good interview.

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

Thanks, I had a great time talking to Lee!

[@mattreinhard7134]

Lee is the most refreshing voice in bodybuilding

[@johnconnors3883]

great interview as always Ron, top shirt too, remember seeing Lee in a Gym in Aus when he was 18 or so, just incredible, when you see genetics like that its game over. Had as bit of yap with him at Doherty's Gym back in the day and he was a total gentleman, class act.

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

I’ve only been to Brisbane so far, but we do plan on visiting Sydney the next time our daughter and her Aussie husband go back there

[@Dengtui_01]

​@@RonHarrisMuscle Come to Sydney, Ron. Best city in the world.

Lee…..one of my all time favorite bodybuilders and personalities 💯💯

[@tonymalczon2060]

So glad for this interview Ron. So glad I witnessed Lee onstage in the 90's. My favorite decade for bodybuilding.

[@Sirgromulus]

Glad that Rpn finally got Lee on the show. I know in the past he said Lee was too controversial and seemed afraid of what he might say.

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

@@Sirgromulus when I was with MD, I had to be a lot more careful with anybody who might be offended

Jay Cutler said that Lee was the one of the PROs that impressed him at Golds Gym Venice.

[@garybarnes2017]

I agree,Mike Christian definitely should've won the 1990 Olympia.

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

Mike was the very first Pro I ever met in 1988, such a nice guy- always smiling and positive

[@Darius-j6b]

@@RonHarrisMuscle so if you smiling like a clown it makes you a “nice guy” ?

@ no, talking to him I got that impression

@RonHarrisMuscle I saw Mike in seminar at Kerry Kayes gym in Manchester over here in England.What a humble bloke.

Gnarly physique & personality! 🖤

[@grahamgreene779]

Lee is one of the best examples of just how much genes determine things at the highest levels of bodybuilding. "Too much into the nuance and little things." Not saying he's wrong! But it is an easy thing to say when one has some of the best bodybuilding genes ever. Lee would be a killer 212 guy today. He's very complete, with the only serious deficiencies being his hamstring and glute conditioning and somewhat his back and lats especially. Otherwise, he would be a threat to win the 212 every year. Just so amazingly impressive from the front and the side.

[@RonHarrisMuscle]

@@grahamgreene779 he looked better at 13 than most guys do by 30

[@grahamgreene779]

@@RonHarrisMuscle He did indeed! And I've seen his mother on a bodybuilding stage - Wow! One can't say that about any other elite bodybuilder I know of. He was an amazing natural and responded very well to pharma and voila - a worldclass bodybuilder is born. I still think Danny Padilla has the best little guy - 5'3 under (seriously, no offense) - physique that I've seen - His 1981 Mr. O physique was so perfect, so complete, conditioned, full - great calves, forearms, back, etc.

@@LA4HINGIS then Paul got his Pro card and made his debut at the Mr. Olympia by special invitation from Joe Weider himself

@@RonHarrisMuscle yep he did that rant in Flex magazine. Had some good points. He mentioned there's no reason to have the heaviest class weighing in. He felt his body was being judged while on the scale when he wasn't fully cared up.

[@vivificateurveridique1420]

I don't know why people are always lying, even on social media. And when you write something they don't like, they erase it. Lee had only arms and nothing else. His back was small, no hamstrings, and don’t even talk about glutes because, at the time, that was a criteria. No chest. The judges sometimes rewarded him because he was under a Weider contract. I was disappointed when I saw the judges placing him ahead of some giants. When I saw his 2003 Olympia performance, I couldn't understand how this guy could be on stage with such a poor shape. It's a shame and an insult to the bodybuilding and fitness community to be on stage in such a shape, to be at the Mr. Olympia with the elite. kzbin.info?search_query=olympia+2003
