The internet has shifted the definition of a good physique, with fitness influencers and bodybuilders showing impressive bodies that attract young enthusiasts. One notable figure is 21-year-old Sam Sulek, a former diver who has quickly gained attention for his remarkable physique.

However, some experts are skeptical, questioning the rapid muscle growth and suggesting the possibility of enhancements that have contributed to the shredded physiques of influencers like Sulek. Recently, veteran Aussie bodybuilder Lee Priest has discussed how he does not really care about the ongoing conversation about fitness influencers being natty.

Apollon posted a video on their YouTube channel featuring Lee Priest. In the video, Priest was asked about his thoughts on people who pretend to be natural bodybuilders when they’re not. He responded by saying he doesn’t really care about it. He mentioned that he dislikes seeing videos discussing whether someone is natural or not, and he thinks people should focus on themselves instead of worrying about others.

Lee Priest said, “I don’t even care I don’t care it’s like I hate when I see videos of this guy Natty or fake I’m like who gives a fu*k how about you worry about yourself”. Later in the video, Lee Priest talked about Mr. Universe winner Mike O’Hearn, who spends a huge amount of time at the gym and focuses on his diet. According to Priest, many wonder if O’Hearn was using PEDs to achieve his impressive physique. However, the Australian believed that O’Hearn’s physique was the result of his hard work and that people did not really understand that.

In a video earlier, the experienced bodybuilder talked about how using performance-enhancing drugs is common in all professional sports. He mentioned that in other sports, people don’t openly talk about steroid use. Lee Priest, the winner of the Ironman Pro, gave an example, saying, “You won’t go on an NFL page where they’re discussing steroids… This linebacker is so big because he’s eating 10,000 calories doing a bit of deca,” Priest said.

Priest also went on to say that some are trying to educate up-and-coming bodybuilders, but not everyone is out there doing the right thing. This troubling pattern is encouraging young people to use steroids because they see influencers doing it. What are your views on Lee Priest’s thoughts? Share your views in the comments.
