The Lee Priest Experiment

[jtunderdog]

Here is what I was thinking. I remember several years ago a pic of Lee by Gunter at the Olympia. He looked like "mini me." He is still huge for his size however. I was looking to get the most accurate and up to date stats on Lee and Jay Cutler. I am going to take their stats and multiply them by their heights and find out percentage wise how Lee really stacks up against Jay. If you know a site with this info that is recent it would be great. I found one but nothing was after 04 on it. I'm just curious.

hmm no idea where to go bro! still not sure how u would even compare the two,lol

My theory is you take their height say 6ft = 72 inches and divide their arm size say 22 inches and it gives you 30.5% of the person's height. I would take each dimesion, say back, bis, thighs, calves, etc and run the same formula. It would give me percentages of each person's size. I then take the measurements and get an average. That would equal their average body part proportion to their height. This would tell us who is bigger for their height and has better mass. I am sure that is confusing but maybe you get my point. I can't find their stats from anywhere though. It is also going to be hard unless I run them from say a contest where each guy is shredded. I just thought I would try. If somebody wants to be a guinea pig and give me some measurements I will tell you guys how you add up against each other. Could be interesting.

I'm a huge Lee Priest fan. He doesn't seem to have any lagging body parts (maybe his chest in some shots) and definitely isn't missing anything. His only problem is his conditioning. That being said, visually his ratios of arm and leg to height and waist are amazing. Here are pics to compare him and Jay.

Thanks. I am a big fan as well. I don't know if you ever saw the pic, but when he was standing by gunter at the olympia one year he looked like a midget. That dude is massive though short in stature. His arms are what 21.5 or so?

He is very short, but his arms are gigantic. Bodybuilders.com lists his stats as this:

Born: July 6, 1972
Height: 5'4"
Off Season Weight: 270-285 lbs.
Competition Weight: 200-225 lbs.
Training since age 13
Arms: 20 3/4" (in competition, pumped) to 21 3/4" (off-season, pumped)

Can you imagine the sheer bulk of 270-285 on that frame? That the same weight Presser sports, and he is tall.

 

[jtunderdog]

34% of height versus arms. Cutler's come out to 32%, if his height is 5'10" and arms are 22.5. Those measurements are suspect because I found heights from 5'8 to 6'. I know he is shorter than ronnie c. and his is suppose to be 5'11. I bet that guy has a hard time eating his oatmeal when he is bulking.

I would say scary as well.

damn, compare Jay to Lee? Jay doesnt even look like a bodybuilder he looks like a damn lumber jack. The kind of body that is not for the aesthetics stage but is perfect for powerlifting type of competitions because of his thick frame. You cannot compare Jay to Lee
