Yeah legendarily weird, the class they competed together in was literally created for couples and clearly so was their choreography.

[@quantumpotential7639]

He is also a star on Rx Muscle AND The Confessional, which I stumbled upon on the IMDB. Is Lee a Hollywood insider? I don't suspect that he is despite turning down multiple million dollar movie deals so he could take care of his mom and pets in the neighborhood. If he ever comes to town I hope he signs my Boscoe's collar. Boscoe was a 125 lb yellow English Lab who I lost years ago to pancreatic cancer. But I saved his collar for a special day. And Lee Priest is a special kind of special. ❤️

Lee wouldn’t compete in 212 🤣🤣 He would want it taken away, imagine telling him to go compete in 212 cause he is short yeah that will go well. Shawn Ray would compete in 212 cause he is 😺 and listened to judges too much. Boot licker.

This was awesome, love how you edit and script the story in the athletes' words. Lee was one of the most real BBers ever. Might not agree with all of his thoughts, but he says precisely what he thinks. Huge respect for how he spoke about money for lower placing competitors. It's almost unbelievable that 17/18 year old Lee was natural... and then he BLEW UP at 19. What a physique.
