Lee Priest - The Blond Myth

Throughout the short history of bodybuilding very few physique athletes have earned the right to share a moniker with one of the greatest legends, Sergio Oliva—the Myth. In fact, only one such person comes to mind.

With overwhelming mass and cartoonish, superherolike muscles Lee Priest has been called “the Blond Myth”—and for good reason, as you’ll see in this video of the same name.

Taking a kind of of MTV-meets-ESPN2 approach, Mitsuru Okabe does an excellent job of highlighting Priest’s life and training in the 60-minute program.

Still a youngster in the world of bodybuilding, he was born in 1972 and began training at the age of 13. One of his first shows was a Mixed Pairs competition—with his mother (which they won, by the way).
