This series of interviews was conducted with the women who, as the cliché goes, “stand behind the men” or as I have always been inclined to put it: “stand beside their men”. These ladies are all unique and individual however, they share one common intrinsic trait. They are very strong and very understanding to say the least. Some may classify these ladies as a very rare breed in the general populace but they are commonplace in the small bodybuilding community as we know it, in the relationships that work and last anyways! The grueling and “mind altering” diets their husbands have to endure, (those of you who have done it know what I mean) in addition to the selfish schedule and dedication they have to the gym, it not only takes patience and ultra-supportiveness but strength to be able to sustain and maintain a happy home. Their husbands spend a lot of time under the spot light on many occasions showcasing their determination, effort and mind blowing physiques. It is long overdue and about time to spotlight these ladies for their endurance and dedication to their men and their relationships.
FST-7: Please introduce yourself.
JH: I am Jennie Heath.FST-7: What do you do for a living?
JH: I am a CosmetologistFST-7: How long have you and Phil been together?
JH: 5 ½ yearsFST-7: How and where did you guys meet?
JH: I met Phil at a restaurant called Fasano’s after his second show and kidnapped him!FST-7: Was he competing when you two first started dating?
If so, what were your first impressions?
JH: Yes, I was very impressed with his dedication and discipline.FST-7: Do you ever get the “itch” to compete yourself after going to the shows
and seeing all the competitors?
JH: I would love to see what my body is capable of for a personal goal but as
far as competing… I would probably fall off those shoes and break my neck!FST-7: What is the hardest thing for you to deal with during the prep?
JH: Loosing my husband for three months! Phil is a very focused athlete
so it’s pretty much all business all the time.FST-7: What is the hardest thing for you to deal with come show time?
JH: The anticipation of the results! I feel like I carry all of Phil’s stress those
last few hours! It’s very hard to watch him on stage depleted giving it
every last bit he’s got!!!FST-7: Do you feel pressure to look a certain way, eat a certain way or
workout due to the industry your significant other is in?
JH: I used to feel some pressure because of peoples negative comments.
I definitely live a much healthier lifestyle because of his industry, but I
am not getting on stage asking to be judged. I like to look good, feel good,
and I must be doing something right… I am Mrs. Phillip HeathJ
FST-7: So obviously Phil is a “celebrity” in this bodybuilding community
and with fame comes all kinds of stuff so let’s get into the juicy details:
FST-7: How do you deal with the fans/groupies that come around when you are
there? When you aren’t there?
JH: They can look all they want! I get to touch!!!FST-7: Have you ever had an “incident” or encounter with a fan who was
clearly out of line or disrespectful when you were present?
JH: Of course! In Orlando two Twinkies tried putting dollar bills in Phil’s trunks.
After the show in the lobby one of the girls was walking out with her man
whom had just finished competing and we were packing up his booth when
I heard him ask her if she had any money for a water, as she was digging in
her purse I politely told her that it was a good thing she had hung on to
those ones!!FST-7: How do you feel about/handle the not so nice remarks or opinions about
Phil written on the boards or in magazines or said on the radio?
JH: If they are critiquing his physique, well isn’t that what this sport is all
about? Everyone has an opinion. If it is a personal attack, then they must
not know him because he’s pretty terrific!FST-7: How do you deal with all the travelling and the sometimes grueling
schedule your spouse has?
JH: I feel very fortunate that we get the chance to go so many cool places.
I have a pretty busy schedule so if I can’t go it just gives me a chance to
miss him!( I do get a little cranky if it’s a long trip.)FST-7: Where do you see your lives in 5-10 years?
JH: In a perfect world Mr. O will be my baby’s daddy! Oh and they will have his eyes!!!!
