“Even the Muscles Have Muscles”: 51-YO Bodybuilding Icon Leaves the Fitness World Jaw-Dropped With His Prime Time’s Ripped Physique

Without a doubt, Lee Priest is a living legend in bodybuilding. Why? Because he rose to immense fame after turning IFBB Pro at the age of 20. Not just that, Priest also registered victory in the NABBA Mr. Universe competition and despite not winning a Mr. Olympia title, he continued to be known for the shredded physique he flaunted. 

Priest has often been in the limelight for “speaking the truth” on social media about the happenings in the fitness community. However, this time, the bodybuilder took his fans on a ride down memory lane, posting a video of his workout from the past. This created a buzz on the internet with many praising the legend.  

Lee Priest turns back the clock  

In a recent video uploaded on his Instagram account, Lee Priest shared a few clips showing him engaged in training and workouts. The clips seemed to have been taken from his golden bodybuilding career and in those clips. Just like one would expect, his unparalleled monstrous physique was visible during the workouts. 

Despite having the kind of physique shown in the video, with a ripped body full of well-balanced muscles and mass, one might wonder why Priest never lifted the Sandow trophy. This has made him one of the Uncrowned Olympia winners, among Flex Wheeler and Kai Greene. Even at the Arnold Classic, the best that Priest could do was a fourth-place finish in 2007.

Even as one would wonder about these things, the standing that Priest has in the bodybuilding community still continues to be immense. This was visible in the abundance of love and support he received on his throwback video, where many started hailing the uncrowned prince of bodybuilding.
