Loistava päätös Priestiltä jatkaa PDI:ssä. On hienoa nähdä edes yksi kehonrakentaja, joka ei ole kyyristelijä.

"PAM LEBLANC: FIT CITY
Building a winning body
New Austinite comes with a muscled physique and a lifetime of trophy accumulations
Monday, October 23, 2006
Lee Priest settles in behind a weight-lifting machine at Gold's Gym, his meaty muscles bulging beneath a tank top.
Priest, a former Mr. Australia and one of the world's top bodybuilders, is getting in some gym time before he heads to Europe for another competition and a slew of public appearances. Fists up and elbows down, he squeezes his arms in, working his chest muscles. His muscles ripple like waves radiating from a tsunami.
Lee Priest shows off his 22-inch biceps by doing the biceps pose. To get those guns, he does dumbbell curls, then builds his chest with the bench press.
"This sport is so subjective," he says as he toils. "Some judges like the big, blockier, freakier type. Others like more artistic lines."
Priest, in case you were wondering, falls into the "freaky" category. His 34-year-old body has shock value: His arms, considered the best in the sport, are huge; so are his legs and chest. His waist is comparatively tiny. And he packs a whopping 200 pounds — considerably more during the off-season when he's off his restrictive diet — onto a 5-foot-5-inch frame.
If that sounds like a certain green-skinned cartoon character, it's not surprising. Priest, who followed a friend to Austin two years ago, served as a human model for the computer-generated star of the movie "The Hulk."
The Hulk meets Superman
In bodybuilding circles, he's known as the Blond Myth, for his shock of blond hair (which at the moment is dyed dark in back and in the past has been dyed green just because he can). He has 17 tattoos, including a geometric pattern across the left side of his face and a Superman insignia on his shoulder.
"Muscle by muscle, there is no comparison with other guys," says girlfriend Adela Garcia, the 2004 and 2006 Miss Fitness Olympia champion. "He carries so much muscle for his height."
That's obvious as Priest wipes away some sweat and moves to a Smith machine, where he casually hoists 240 pounds as if the weights are made of meringue.
Contest season, which started in February, is drawing to an end. For Priest, that means an ease in a frenzied routine. In a typical day, he exercises six or seven hours, doing a mixture of weight lifting and cardio work, pausing to refuel with food and drink every two hours.
It takes 16 weeks for him to whip his body into peak contest shape.
"The first week is the hardest," he says. "On Sunday, I'm eating Chinese and McDonald's. On Monday, it's cold turkey into oatmeal and protein powder. Your tongue has to get used to the bland food, and the memory of good food is still fresh."
During contest season, Priest consumes 4,500 calories a day. Breakfast might be cream of rice and a protein drink. Mid-morning, he gobbles down 10 ounces of grilled or boiled chicken, a cup of rice and a small salad. For lunch, it's more chicken, or maybe fish. Mid-afternoon, he again eats chicken or fish. For variety, dinner is lean steak and asparagus. Just before bed, he guzzles a protein drink.
And yes, he gets tired of the monotony.
"I used to go crazy before (contest season) and go pig out," he says. "I crave carbs and breads."
Priest says his weight can climb as high as 280 in the off-season because he likes to eat so much. "I like Krispy Kreme. I'm still human. I like foods that taste good," he says. That's why his wardrobe includes separate off-season clothes.
Bodybuilding, Priest says, is all about growing muscle mass. That's different than pure weightlifting, which is solely about how much weight you can lift. Not that Priest can't lift a lot. He has bench pressed 560 pounds, leg pressed 1,800 pounds and curled 305 pounds.
The muscle, he says, is natural. Many competitions — including his most recent, the Night of Champions in New York — now test for drug use. Priest, who admits to dabbling in muscle-enhancing drugs, says he'd like to see all sports cleaned up.
"I tried steroids when I was younger," he says. "But steroid use is not going to make you a champion . . . . If you put rocket fuel in a Pinto, you're not going to turn it into a race car."
He takes a seat at another machine and begins to lift again. The veins in his arms — big as ropes of licorice — stand out as he logs two sets of preacher curls. Sweat beads on his forehead.
Priest says he prefers training to competing.
A few days before each contest, he applies fake tan. He shaves his body. Seventeen hours before a show, he all but stops drinking water, a technique that makes muscles stand out visually. Backstage, he rubs oil over his skin. And just before he goes on, he pumps up his muscles with exercise bands or dumbbells.
Then it's onstage to pose in front of the judges as part of a lineup, a procedure that can take up to an hour. In the evening, the competitors perform 3- or 4-minute posing routines set to music.
All that muscle flexing takes its toll. "The next day I feel like I've been hit by a truck," Priest says.
He doesn't have a favorite exercise, and says they all hurt. With that, he grabs a pair of 40-pound dumbbells and tears into a set of eye-popping bicep curls.
He-Man fascination
Priest was born in Newcastle, Australia, a few hours outside Sydney. As a kid, he dreamed of one day looking like He-Man, the sword-wielding, blond-haired hero of the "He-Man and Masters of the Universe" cartoon.
His grandfather, a former army wrestler, signed him up for gymnastics classes when he was 13. The gymnastics career didn't go far, but Priest got hooked on the weights stashed at the gym, and packed on muscle quickly.
At 14, he started winning local bodybuilding shows, against much older competition. When he was 17, he won the Mr. Australia title. He won it again the following year.
At first, his parents had doubts about their son's new obsession. But he soon persuaded his mom to try body building herself, even competing alongside her in one competition. Now his family, especially his grandparents, are his biggest fans.
"What sets Lee apart from other professional bodybuilders is his colorful personality and charisma. He's got both — and in bucketfuls," says Scott York, a certified personal trainer and owner of Austin-based Full Force Fitness. York works with Priest to produce a series of monthly exercise DVDs.
Priest moved to the United States in 1992 to take advantage of the contest and sponsorship opportunities. He turned professional 13 years ago, and started racking up awards, among them the 2002 San Francisco Pro Invitational and the 2005 Australian Pro Invitational. He also finished near the top in the Mr. Olympia and the Arnold Classic competitions several times. (And yes, he knows the contest namesake, the former bodybuilder who's now governor of California.)
Priest makes most of his money through endorsements for companies such as TwinLab Corp., a nutrition supplements maker. He also gets paid for appearances. Competitions bring in money, too, such as $20,000 plus a $5,000 ring for his recent win at Pro Division Inc.'s Night of Champions Men's Bodybuilding Contest.
Priest moved to Austin from Venice, Calif., two years ago. "Austin is more laid-back, more like Australia," he says. So far, 2006 has been a good year. He won the 2006 Ironman Pro Invitational in Los Angeles in February, and last month, he won Night of Champions in New York. Just this weekend, Priest won the British Night of Champions bodybuilding contest.
"I've been doing this 22 years (professionally)," Priest says. "If I put all the work and determination I put into this into business school, I could be like Donald Trump."
But it's not all about bodybuilding for Priest. Two years ago, he started racing dragsters. In 2005, he won seven races and was named the Southern California Drag Racing Association's Rookie of the Year. This year, he won the association's championship.
For Priest, there's a lot to like about racing. He gets to drive 200 mph. It's less subjective than bodybuilding. "If you win, you win," he says. "There's no judge saying, 'You look better here, he looks better there.' "
And best of all, there's no dieting required. "I can eat a hot dog and go shoot down a track."

Artikkeli on tarkoitettu matti meikäläisen luettavaksi ja sellaisena erinomainen. Kehonrakennuksesta saa jonkinlaisen kuvan, ja Lee Priest kuvataan ihan normaaliksi kaveriksi, jolle ruoka maistuu ja jonka vyötärö paisuu normimittoihin, kunhan kisaruljanssi hieman hellittää.
Roinaamisesta ei kehonrakentajien ole syytä kertoa mitään kenellekään. PDI:n kilpailuissa voi myös olla sponsoreiden ja imagon vuoksi testit, testithän on tehty läpäistäviksi.

Suuri yleisö ei tiedä ja juuri tähän porukkaan esim herrojen mainostamilla tuotteilla vedotaan. Tietenkin halutaan antaa kuva siitä, että protskuilla kasvaa yhtä isoksi kuin ammattilaisbodarit.

Kaikissa urheilulajeissa roinataan. Asiasta ei silti ole mitään syytä kertoa suurelle yleisölle, koska sitä ei kuitenkaan ymmärretä (= ei haluta ymmärtää)elimelliseksi osaksi kilpaurheilua. Roinaamisesta puhuminen saattaa lisäksi innostaa nuoria roinaamiseen. Se ei ole hyvä asia.

Mitäs vittua, huippubodarit roinaa? :D
Mieletöntä
Mutta tottahan toi on että kun tehään noin miten tehdään, niin kyllähän sitä kannattaa julkisesti pimittää niin perus toverit ei tee samaa virhettä, vain sillä erotuksella etteivät he saa pennin penniä :(

Eniten noi vetoavat ns. sunnuntaitreenaajaan. Pakkiksen lukijan mielestä on varmaan ihan sama kenen kuva jossain protskupussissa on kunhan se pitää sisällään mitä lupaa.

Olen myös tuossakin asiassa samaa mieltä. Nuoriso on niin helposti kusetettavia. Luottavat aivan sokeasti pelkkään roinaamiseen eivätkä ajattele ollenkaan ravintoa eikä kovaa työntekoa. Aloittaisi sillä ja roinaisi sitten myöhemmin. Kuulostaako tyhmältä?
