Veteran Bodybuilding Legend Explains How He Gets Young Teenagers Off Drugs and Into Good Diet and Training

With a career spanning 20 years as a bodybuilding legend, Lee Priest, in his retirement, still keeps his fans up to date with proper advice on fitness and nutrition. Ronnie Coleman and Flex Wheeler are some of the many champions he has defeated, earning him the name the Giant Killer. With a name like that, it’s no wonder the retired bodybuilder has plenty of good advice to give.

In a recent YouTube interview, he spoke about how he helps younger people battle addiction and embrace fitness.

Lee Priest advocates for a fit lifestyle

Speaking as part of the Apollon Seminar 2023, Priest discussed Sam Sulek, HRT use, and other topics. In particular, he spoke about encouraging people to work out in the gym and not compare themselves to others.

This is when he says, ?If they have what it takes it’s going to happen. If you have the genetics and you have that mindset where this is what you wanna do give it a hundred percent. Go train, eat your meals, get your resting. Don?t go out clubbing. Don?t do recreational drugs. And if it’s meant to be, you’ll be like f***, look at me I’m growing.?

Following this, he spoke about how a lot of younger bodybuilders tend to take drugs when they don’t hit their goals. He gave the example of a young friend of his who had asked him for steroids while maintaining a shabby fitness regime and poor eating habits. While Priest conceded and provided him the steroids, he also provided him with a dietary plan and a proper training schedule. “Each week, he’s putting weight on, his strength’s going up. He’s like, f***, that Dianabol good….I just gave him sugar pills, but in his mind, he thought he was taking Dianabol,” he said, highlighting how oftentimes, what’s needed is discipline rather than steroids.

Priest has always been candid about a lot of aspects of bodybuilding, which has also gotten him into a fair share of trouble. He has previously talked about judges, who select the winners in bodybuilding competitions and hasn’t been afraid to put them on blast.

Lee Priest slams judges

In a YouTube short, Priest spoke about whether he gave any importance to the judgment of a panel during a bodybuilding competition. He described how other bodybuilders went up to the judges to take some advice before posing on stage. However, he said, ?I look at these judges. They?ve never competed themselves.?

?There?s a lot of them that are fat. And they?re gonna give me diet advice on what I should do? What advice could they give me?,? the former Mr. Universe said in the video. He was critical and harsh about the truth and also said that several judges only study the sport in theory, but have never practiced it in their life.

Priest does not hold back when speaking about the dark parts of the bodybuilding industry. He helps youngsters understand how to become fit and healthy without going down the wrong path. What do you think about his advice for youngsters?
