Lee Priest wasn’t just another bodybuilder—he was the sport’s most defiant truth-teller. Rebel Iron: The Lee Priest Story cuts through the glossy propaganda of the fitness industry to reveal the raw, unfiltered rise of one of the most gifted and controversial athletes in modern bodybuilding.

From his early days crushing grown men onstage in Australia to clashing with judges, sponsors, and federations across the globe, Lee Priest’s story isn’t a journey of smooth victories—it’s a war of principles. With arms that defied physics and a mouth that refused silence, Priest never fit the mold—and never tried. While others followed the rules, he tore up the script. While others smiled for the camera, he called out the hypocrisy poisoning the sport from the inside.

This book doesn’t worship placings or rehash generic backstage stories. It dissects the politics, sabotage, and smear campaigns that nearly broke him—and the iron will that refused to bend. Whether he was being blacklisted for honesty, banned for speaking out, or robbed onstage by rigged judging, Priest remained unmoved. He didn’t want their approval. He wanted to be real—and he was.

Told with ruthless clarity, dry humor, and the kind of grit only lived experience can produce, Rebel Iron is a blistering rejection of influencer fluff and corporate spin. If you’re tired of sanitized fitness bios and want the brutal truth from someone who lived it, this is your book.

Lee Priest never won an Olympia. But he won something rarer: the loyalty of lifters who still believe bodybuilding should be built on muscle, not marketing.
