Lee Priest grew up in Wallsend Australia. Lee's mom was also a bodybuilding competitor, and posed with Lee onstage. Lee started training at the age of 12 with the help and support of his grandfather. He competed for the first time at the age of 13 and won. He went on to win numerous other competitions leading up to him winning the IFBB Mr Australia at 17, 18 and 19. Lee competed at the World's Championship at 17, where he placed 4th. At 19 he again competed and won The Mr. Australia title, but was not allowed to get his pro card in Australia because of his young age. It was then Lee decided to enter an amateur competition, Niagra Falls Championships. While there, Lee was discovered and given his pro card. Lee became one of the youngest men ever to turn IFBB pro at the age of 20.
Lee competed successfully within the IFBB for 16years. In 2010 Lee decided to switch to NABBA but due to the Mr.Universe contest not going ahead Lee had no contests to compete in, NABBA offered Lee an amateur status to compete but he declined. Lee was invited by Paul Dillet to compete in the WBFF, but due to the lack of competition, he decided against competing.
