I don’t know how old that is, but yah, Priest dwarfs henry in that pic.

This’ll bring more attention to that weight class.

judging by the shape priest is in id say 06?

Mmmmm I think Priest has the “perfect physique” for that category, and the potential to be an ass whooper next year.

Wow, I really hope this turns out to be true, I’ve heard a lot of rumors before, but the 202 class would totally be his if he came in condition.

they’ll never give it to Priest, he’s just too darn short.

Lee’s around 153cm thats about 5’1

Branch finish 2nd at the Olympia and Lee announcing his return. Best bodybuilding year ever! Ok, maybe not ever but this is a very good news.

5’1 at 280lbs… my god… this is just crazy shit. the guy must have the weirdest height-width ratio ever.

still, he’s an icon in my book… but I don’t care for the face tat IMO

He’s 5’4, and I believe Dave Henry is 5’5, so I don’t know where this comment about him being too short for the 202 is coming from. It’s a class specifically designed for the short guys.

His daughter said he tried to have it lasered off but it hurt too bad, so he just had them redo it lol.

He’s not 280 lol. He’s going to compete at a little under 202.

I’m guessing they meant offseason.

Offseason doesn’t count -lol, the guy’s known for downing buckets of fried chicken and krispy creme donuts. Still, I think his best showing (just before his departure to PDI) had him at about 215 or so.

People shouldn’t always believe Wikipedia. Lee isn’t 5’, he is about 5’4"

T: You stand about 5’4". People say drugs stunted your growth. What’s your response to that?

Priest: That’s rubbish. I’m one of the tallest in my family. My mother’s 5’3", my sister’s 5’3", my father’s probably 5’6", if that. My grandfather is 5’4" and my great grandfather was 5’4". I don’t come from a family of six-foot people! I wasn’t born that way.

Fantastic interview, definitely a must read.

Got a chance to meet him earlier this year. The guy cracks me up. Funniest bodybuilder I’ve ever met.

Yeah, but anybody who’s that jacked up. I mean…YOU tell him it looks stupid.
