“Orbiting the Moon With Those Arms”: Years Before a Horrifying Pec Tear, Bodybuilding Blonde Myth’s Intense Workout Stunned Fitness Freaks

Only a few bodybuilders can etch their name in the sport and in the heart of bodybuilding fans. Lee Priest, the IFBB Pro bodybuilder, is one such name, who left a remarkable legacy in the sport so much so that he once defeated ‘The King’, Ronnie Coleman. In 1997 the 8x Mr. Olympia stood behind Blonde Myth in the Ironman Championship. Furthermore, Coleman once confessed, “My most painful would be losing to Lee Priest.” 

The NABBA Pro now shared a throwback video of him working out at the gym, and fans could not stop glorifying the bodybuilding icon once again.

Appreciating the form of Priest, a follower commented, “Your execution was always so smooth, it’s f***g art.” Admiration of the older bodybuilding techniques flowed in the form of comments as a user wrote, “The right way the old school way!” Another commenter revealed, “Fav bodybuilder, still have all your DVDs!” Despite his rigorous training routine, Priest didn’t tear his biceps and pec at the gym, but under strange circumstances.

Lee Priest tore his biceps and pec muscles while walking his dogs

The bodybuilding icon once narrated how he tore his pec and biceps when he went for a walk with his two massive pit bulls. The happy outing soon turned into a disaster when his 230 lbs dogs started yanking after another pet dog charged toward Priest. “I was walking the dogs and my dogs are like 230 pounds combined!” he said.

The yanking caused a powerful pull, resulting in sharp pain in the chest of the bodybuilder. Upon a doctor’s consultation, he realized that he injured himself with a 5cm tear.
