Unreal genetics.
Bodybuilding has always been about dedication at the end of the day. Simply lifting some weight from time to time isn’t enough to bring about massive change. You must have that kind of obsessive passion that pushes you to the brink. Besides dedication to the craft however is the distinct genetic advantage that can’t be faked or replicated. The only way to get those distinct physical advantages is having the good fortune to have good genetic capability passed down from our parents. For many professional bodybuilders this seems to be the exact scenario. The case of Lee Priest highlights this fact perfectly.
Once one of the greatest bodybuilding talents in the world, Lee Priest has since retired from professional competition and has become something of a fitness personality. Reading questions and giving often times brutal and truthful answers, Lee Priest seems to be known more for his outspoken nature than his bodybuilding ability nowadays. But Lee Priest was an absolute beast in his day with some superior genetics.
While most of us know little of Lee Priest in regards to his parentage, it was clear since day one that he possessed some truly remarkable genetics. Rather than speculate on that notion as has been the case for years now, we apparently have some hard evidence on the matter. Lee Priest recently posted about his father who apparently was a bodybuilder and from the looks of things, the older man is still in some amazing condition at age 71.
