Knew a guy in HS looked just like Lee. Same sweetness. Had that genetic short stature with full muscles. Also knew those few dudes who had veins and strength from birth. Everyone else was screwed on the gym thing. My issue was an eating disorder that left me emaciated and weak at around 170 and 6ft2in. Started training at age 21 and couldn’t even lift the bar. Forced myself to eat and saw results; and was up to 195. Got gear at 25. Got up to 220. Looked normal because of my height. Gear flow was never steady or affordable thank god. Almost drank myself to death by age 37. Got sober, stopped the gym and all supps. Body weight normalized at about 204 and still have kind of athletic look. Watch what eat to keep waist ok. Walk/jog little bit. It’s all mental. Once old age hits there isn’t anything in heaven or earth to stop that hurricane my friends.

The only other athlete that looked like Lee at such a young age that i can think of is Mike Tyson, but then i always thought they were probably giving him steroids as in the early 80's they weren't even illegal really.

So, from what I understand, Lee simply pushed hard with the weights consistently and had the right amount of genetics to get to the pros. How's that different from those who the masses swear at natural in the other pro leagues? Also, the fact that he looked like an alien on his first cycle shows he was destined for the pro stage in bodybuilding. A hyper-responder to the gear, which many champion bodybuilders have talked about. You'd think the really prolific champions would be dropping dead from all their alleged gear use yet either they are some kind of supermen or they really didn't take nearly as much as many say. No disrespect to those who have lost their lives, but it's always those in the top ten or even top five who could never win the big one who seem to always die 'due to steroids'.

Looks better than me when he was 19 and natural, than me on gear. No joke, elite genetics

[@wombat5252]

Genetics make up less than 5% of their overall looks. It's really about the dedication and effort that these guys put in. 99.9% of people won't put in the time like these guys do. It's just like top athletes like Lebron and Brady and MJ. Genetics don't make you successful, your work ethic does.

@@wombat5252 Genetics are 100% of everything, they are your work ethic, they are your response to food, they are your response to PED use, they are your response to training.

[@wombat5252]

@@Agnes135 Lmao with that logic, everybody would die off quickly that weren't genetic ''freaks''. You're trying to find a reason why top tier athletes are at their level when it's really all about work ethic. How do you think people become successful owning businesses? Why do highly motivated and dedicated people make a lot of money? Genetics is such a small fraction of one's success. You're making excuses.

[@Agnes135]

@@wombat5252 You literally don't make any sense. Everything about a persons physiology and biology is a biproduct of their genetic makeup. If they didn't have the requisite genetic makeup to have increased work ethic, they wouldn't have good work ethic. Everything in your life is a biproduct of your genetic code.

[@wombat5252]

@@Agnes135 But there are still parameters in which our biology is developed. Obviously genetics plays a role but genetics aren't going to somehow give another human being triple the amount of muscle cells. It just doesn't work like that (medical abnormalities aside). You put in the effort, you stay consistent with a perfect diet and you workout correctly for years and years and you would look like these guys as well. I've done it myself with no enhancements whatsoever.

Can see where Lee’s daughter got her looks from the pic at 5:40 of 14 year old Lee

[@schreiber6220]

Lee is awesome! Haha. ✌️

[@avocado9763]

Lee was an ectomorp as a young man. Genetically he should never have carried all that weight. I'm so happy he is healthy. He was the best of the best. Arnold looked weak next to Lee. Nobody had his body muscle and definition. He was fantastic.

fking cool!
