Lee Priest "the blonde myth" has had a decent break from the competitive bodybuilding stage. The last time Lee competed was in 2006 (according to musclememory.com), which is now 7 years.

The news that has come out from several sources is that Lee Priest one of if not Australia's best ever Bodybuilders will be competing in tomorrow's NABBA Southern Hemisphere Championships. While this news is not yet 100% confirmed he has been seen at the athlete's registration, done a photo shoot with Dallas Olsen where he has wished him luck for tomorrow, and I've had messages from several sources either asking if it's true or having people telling me it's happening.

Without doubt this has been a very well kept secret from Lee if the reports are true, and when I heard the news I was hardly surprised after thinking about it. Lee has been the king of controversy and surprise during his competitive days, so why change now.

Lee will be extremely hard to beat unless Lee is way off, due to his superior size and freaky proportions. From a man finfishing as high as 6th in the Mr Olympia, if someone is to take out Lee it would be a huge feather in their cap and would no doubt garner them a huge amount of expossure.

Jake vs Lee: It's an interesting dynamic having a trainer compete against his client. Lee trained Jake Nikolopoulos for the 2012 comp season taking Jake to a Southerns overall title, and now with Lee competing it will make it hard for Jake repeating as champion.
