Classic lee priest photos

[physiquephotog]

Hello,
I am Irvin Gelb and have been a photographer for bodybuilding magazines around the world for over 20 years. It would be my pleasure to share some classic photos of bodybuilders with you. Here are photos of Lee Priest from his first photo shoot at the age of 20 years old in Gold's Gym Venice. It was his first time in Los Angeles and the first time that I have seen everyone in the gym stop their workouts to see this super freak. I hope that you enjoy these. If you have any questions about this shoot or anything related to bodybuilding photography please feel free to ask me.

BTW, Lee is the only 20 year bodybuilder who I have ever seen incline press 180 lb. dumbbells with no effort. He literally shocked everyone in Gold's Venice.
Take care,
irv Gelb

Good stuff, still cant believe he built his calves doing only standing one legged stair raises. He always was one of those guys to preach basic lifts and that the sport was nothing fancy like everyone seemd to think at the time with special routine and techniques back in the day, one of the things I loved about him, oh and his funny posts on bodybuilding dot com hah.
