Yes, too bad he's retiring from competition but I'm sure he'll still be lifting hard, and still be sponsored by some fitness company.
Competitions are harsh and very taxing on your body. And to go through many of them through the years could pay it's toll. He's better off making money from ads and videos then competing on the stage.
He's my idol also! Get his 2nd video. Awesome guy, very down to earth and friendly. Not cocky and arragont like other pro's videos. Just a humble guy. Best of luck to Lee in his future.
