Title: Phil Heath is being misleading!!!
Post by: HowDog on May 28, 2006, 03:01:46 PM
Let me preface this thread with the fact that I am a fan of Phil Heath and truly believe that he is the future and thank god for that b/c Jay and Ronnie do not do it for me.  Asthetics baby Asthetics!!
Phil is being misleading by stating that he has only trained for 4 years.  No way.  The man definetly trained with weights in high school and college in the offseason for college basketball.  I am the same age and went to college around the same time and my friends who played ball hit the weights.  He might of not did a "bodybuilding workout program" but the man did curls, calf rises etc...  I would love to see pics of him at 18 and I bet he was jacked.  Basically I would not want a 16 yr old to think that he could get as big as Heath in 4 years.  Heath really has be training for the las 12 years and not 4.  Just keeping it real!!!Thats all.

He's been "bodybuilding" (e.g., training specifically for hypertrophy, eating for hypertrophy, and injecting mass quantities of chemicals for hypertrophy) for the past three years (not four).

He may have been working out since he was 10.  He never said he wasn't.  But he has only been doing it specifically for bodybuilding since 2003.

Heath said that he been bodybuilding for the last four years, three years ago was his first show.  If I misinterpreted him so be it!

Yeah, there was a little shadiness there.  I wasn't going to say anything, but...

Who has the BBall press kit from where he was on the team?  During his backetball career, his little profile on the team brochure bragged about all his great lifts and stats.   So either he decided to post those numbers BEFORE he ever lifted (remember he said he wasn't allwoed to lift while on the team), or he's been strength training for quite a few years.

ok, maybe four.  I thought I read somewhere it was 2003.

Ronnie has been bodybuilding only since 1990.  That doesn't mean he wasn't working out long before that.  He just never did it specifically for bodybuilding (contests I presume this means).

I believe Ronnie said that he was working out since he was 13 !!

Not misleading at all.
I was weight lifting ears before i started "training more like a bodybuilder". Thats what Phil means. Sure he threw some weights around in college..but yes, only 4 years of serious training with his genetics is truly believable. Thats why we are here behind the computer screen, and he is Phil Heath, along with all the other pros. They have something speciall genetically that really favors anabolism...we dont..well, we do to a point..but tha tpoint is way short of a pro bodybuilding type phyusique...and roids have nothing to do with it....thats a small part... Its genetics, Hard work/consistency dieting and training, and all the other "stuff" after..

Ronnie played LB at Grambling Univ under Eddie Robinson.  Also... played ball in Patterson, LA or something in HS.  So... he has been hitting the weights for a while.  Didnt he start gear in his mid-twenties around 25-27 which is pretty late.. as far as the pros go?

Ronnie was a competitive powerlifter long before he became a competitive bodybuilder.

I`m going to have to disagree with you there Wes.  There still to this day, has been no evidence of Ronnie ever competing in any sanctioned Powerlifting meet ever.

College stats:

Squat: 415
Bench: 290
Cleans: 240

Pretty impresive for a basketball player

Yep, just not "bodybuilding" until age 25 or 26.  Before that he did it recreationally.  He did it specifically for competitive purposes at a much later age.
Yep, he went to Dallas, delivered pizzas for dominos I believe and would pretty much only eat pizza all the time, and his moms food, still was real muscular and low BF% then he wanted to join a gym and meet Dobson...rest is history

To answer this question, YES! I began training as of October 8th, 2002

Outlook: Pound for pound, the strongest Pioneer on the floor … with his 5-foot-10, 180-pound frame, squats an impressive 415 pounds … also benches 290 and cleans 240 lbs … with one of the better vertical leaps on the team, can dunk with ease.

This was written for the 2002 season.  Therefore Phil must have made these lifts immediately upon starting.  If he began training in Oct 02, (and the HS BBall season usually runs oct til dec?) that means Heath could bench 290 and squat 415 on his first tries.

This may be true.  Incredible genetics.  But I'd be interested to know what he's benching and squatting NOW, after 4 years of training.  If he made normal beginners' gains, he should not be squatting 700 and benching 405 easily.

Yep yep!

Its what its about..Genetics, the tell tale key tha twill determine how great a bodybuilder you will become..Sucks but its true..DOesnt suck for those "with the gift" right Heath?  ;)
All top 5 pros are genetically gifted, some more than others..Phil is on his way up- Jay Cutler is peaking now! SO I expect jay to get better and better.. Jay And Phil are gonna be ramming heads jus tlike ROnnie and Jay are now...I really think this will be ROnnies last year...

Adam,I don`t remeber where I read it,but it was some old muscle rag,but it showed Ronnie squatting in a competition.

I haven't maxed out on any lifts since college. As you guys can see from the internet link posted that I did lift weights. I never said I didn't lift, I only said that I did for bodybuilding. Think about it, basketball is now a sport where guys have to be stronger, faster, etc. to be competitive which is why we all had to lift in college. I was always built even in high school AND I DIDN'T LIFT WEIGHTS, I actually didn't wanna do it because of the myth that your game [basketball] would suffer. Many peeps cannot understand how someone like myself can reach this level of bodybuilding so quickly, but why throw around these types of threads as if you know what I'm really capable of.

I have always been an athlete, which is why I earned a division 1-a scholarship which is something many cannot claim on record. Do any of you really think that baskeball players lift like bodybuilders? If so, then why aren't they all on-swole? That means that they aren't bodybuilders nor are they lifting and especially eating like one. When I played, we did bench press, squats (front and or back), Lunges, deads, high snatch pulls, chins and cleans(hang and from the floor).  That was all for being explosive on the playing floor. We weren't pushing that much weight in comparison to bodybuilders, but I was exceptional because of my genetics. It was a good program, but more powerlifting than bodybuilding, I think many aren't reading things clearly.

I've been blessed with some really good genetics, but I also work my butt off just like many of you do or claim to do. Some of these guys on the board who speculate so much and again, try to through salt on my game should just realize that I'm doing something positive and not being an arrogant punk considering my success in this sport. I respect everyone's opinion but I do not like it when peeps don't know anything about being an athlete and we're not talking about playing club ball or hanging with friends. I'm talking about high level post high school experience as all of them had some type of trait (genetics, hard work) to get them there. Ok, I'm done with this topic as I've spent again way too much of my time defending who I am. I do appreciate the people on here who have my back in reference to explaining my lifting experience, so I say thank you. The haters, well I guess they have nothing better to do, but I guess I enjoy it so keep it up and I will always try harder (7-0 baby).

Peace!

A 16 yr old kid shouldn't be so nieve and think they can look like a pro bodybuilder period in 4 years as it is not realistic.
Do you realize that pros in every sport were pretty much born genetically to be where they are? I'd hate for my 15 year old nephew to think that he could be like LeBron James and go play in the NBA because of it not being realistic...same thing different sport bro. To say I've been training for 12 years get a clue bro, I'm 26 which would mean I was lifting when I was 14 so you need to keep it real and talk about what you know, which is nothing because you don't even know me bro. I'll quit talking to you as you have no idea what I've done. So many Ms. Cleo's out there and this is just another one of them I guess. No dis on you but c'mon, why make claims that have no proof.

I agree completely, let the old guard finish their run before he starts his run, collectively Coleman and Cutler probably have 2-3 more years in the spotlight, Ronnie this year and then Cutler for 1-2 years.

After that it's Phil Heath's turn.

I have pics from college goofing off and also the day (october 8th 02) that I began bodybuilding. I am sorry to say, but I will not post those pics as it would only fuel some of the haters' fire. Some day, I will send them in to FLEX so that they can write up some before and after story, but that'll have to wait for awhile...sorry, blame it on the haters bro.

(not all but many) bodybuilding is mainly a black guy sport and the white guys try their best and sometimes do very well and become even better (arnold) but it is mainly a sport dominent by black guys.

when it comes to italians,,well they are white a little thicker physiqe if trained,,good forarms and can gain size easy but it is same as all whites.

Let me preface this thread with the fact that I am a fan of Phil Heath and truly believe that he is the future and thank god for that b/c Jay and Ronnie do not do it for me.  Asthetics baby Asthetics!!
Phil is being misleading by stating that he has only trained for 4 years.  No way.  The man definetly trained with weights in high school and college in the offseason for college basketball.  I am the same age and went to college around the same time and my friends who played ball hit the weights.  He might of not did a "bodybuilding workout program" but the man did curls, calf rises etc...  I would love to see pics of him at 18 and I bet he was jacked.  Basically I would not want a 16 yr old to think that he could get as big as Heath in 4 years.  Heath really has be training for the las 12 years and not 4.  Just keeping it real!!!Thats all.

I haven't maxed out on any lifts since college. As you guys can see from the internet link posted that I did lift weights. I never said I didn't lift, I only said that I did for bodybuilding. Think about it, basketball is now a sport where guys have to be stronger, faster, etc. to be competitive which is why we all had to lift in college. I was always built even in high school AND I DIDN'T LIFT WEIGHTS, I actually didn't wanna do it because of the myth that your game [basketball] would suffer. Many peeps cannot understand how someone like myself can reach this level of bodybuilding so quickly, but why throw around these types of threads as if you know what I'm really capable of.

I have always been an athlete, which is why I earned a division 1-a scholarship which is something many cannot claim on record. Do any of you really think that baskeball players lift like bodybuilders? If so, then why aren't they all on-swole? That means that they aren't bodybuilders nor are they lifting and especially eating like one. When I played, we did bench press, squats (front and or back), Lunges, deads, high snatch pulls, chins and cleans(hang and from the floor).  That was all for being explosive on the playing floor. We weren't pushing that much weight in comparison to bodybuilders, but I was exceptional because of my genetics. It was a good program, but more powerlifting than bodybuilding, I think many aren't reading things clearly.

I've been blessed with some really good genetics, but I also work my butt off just like many of you do or claim to do. Some of these guys on the board who speculate so much and again, try to through salt on my game should just realize that I'm doing something positive and not being an arrogant punk considering my success in this sport. I respect everyone's opinion but I do not like it when peeps don't know anything about being an athlete and we're not talking about playing club ball or hanging with friends. I'm talking about high level post high school experience as all of them had some type of trait (genetics, hard work) to get them there. Ok, I'm done with this topic as I've spent again way too much of my time defending who I am. I do appreciate the people on here who have my back in reference to explaining my lifting experience, so I say thank you. The haters, well I guess they have nothing better to do, but I guess I enjoy it so keep it up and I will always try harder (7-0 baby).

Peace!
Good talking to you Phil, good luck in the future
