Lee Priest is one of the more controversial figures in the fitness and bodybuilding community. He’s also praised for being one the most underrated bodybuilders of all time. Priest had tremendous musculature, a shredded physique, and the all the attitude in the world to back it all up. At times Priest’s outspoken nature has gotten him into difficult situation which eventually led to his falling out with the IFBB. Despite that, Priest still maintains a huge following and still has tons of opinions to share about bodybuilding as well as the trolls that fester the internet.

Recently Richard Burgess of Vegan Gains fame called out the Australian bodybuilder after Priest made comments about veganism and it’s relation, or lack there of, to bodybuilding. Burgess’ response video was certainly filled with it’s fair share of vitriolic statements and Priest didn’t take the comments lying down. Priest has never been known to back down from a verbal challenge and it seems that Burgess has made himself a target. Take a look at what Lee Priest had to say.
