If you ever think you have big calves, you don't. Lee Priest does. What the What on God's green earth is that? Them is them real calves. Holy [ __ ] His calves and forearms are like from another person who was like 68 480. I swear to God, dude. He was unbelievable. No lie. If you said to me, I've seen Ronnie Cole and obviously I competed with him. No one could ever blow your mind like Lee Priest looked when he was 21 years. [ __ ] nuts. I walked in the gym and I remember like looking at him and saying, "How is that even possible? He could barely walk. His legs were so big." Anyone ever asked me, "Who are the freakiest bodybuilders you've ever seen in your life?" Cannot tell you how crazy Lee Priest was. Everyone at school was calling Lee a [ __ ] and your dad's a [ __ ] And at the time when Lee started bodybuilding and he was shaving his legs, oh yeah, you're just going to be like your dad. You know, you're going to be a queer. And the taunting and the hurt that he went through. his father disowned him because he changed his name to um priest and that really hurt Lee. Next time someone asked me a question like Lee, what's it like to compete with those big guys? Use the word tall, not big. Like the most painful, most rewarding. Is yours most painful the loss to Jay and most rewarding the first to flex? Or would you say no, it's something else? Uh something else. What would it be? My most painful was uh losing to uh Lee Priest. What bothered you about losing to Lee out of everybody? He was a little guy. I was a big guy. Losing to a 5'4 guy was Yeah. kind of depressing cuz really those guys are 6t and their measurements are the same as mine. 54 and 1/2. That makes them the small guys. [Music]
