Lee Priest in hospital too!!!

[Dashl]

Have you heard of Lee Priest getting into hospital recently? First it was Rich Piana, then Dallas McCarver. Now Lee Priest? His is a weird guy, but definitely a very iconic guy in bodybuilding.

YouTube. It's not a big deal. Lee has had a nerve issue in his neck for a while. It's my understanding he's back in getting an op on it.

That is just media hype. He did get hospitalized indeed, but only for a scheduled surgery he was talking about in one of his videos. He said to have some nerve occlusion that is causing him pain. So he decided to stop living with it, and get the issue solved. So that is not an emergency – you can cool down.

his nerves have been an issue for a while. once you get nerve damage it is a very bad situation. his situation was made worse by abusing pain killers for years and not taking care of his body by resting it.

if anything everyone should learn from his mistakes

Not on the painkillers but physical abuse... for sure. 38 years of weights equals wear and tear.

His injury was actually from racing cars ironically, not from lifting weights.

The 38 years is me.

Just found out that this was misinformation - turns out he just had some sort of a stomach infection. Nothing serious. He posted that on his twitter.
