Dissing Arnold in the bodybuilding world is like defending child predators in the real world.

Godspeed Phil. Godspeed.

Valentino is right.


Without Arnold, Philippe Heath would be selling handbags at a store or being a hairdresser.

Fuckin' love it! Valentino doesn't exactly mince words. Heath's agenda in this is puzzling and the only upside to it is to go along with the others in the industry going against Arnold since he knocked the judges and Manion.

Legendary rant. Love how he calls out how Shitty the competition is now and how he wouldn't even place amongst Yates, Coleman, Levrone, Ray, Wheeler, etc.

Say what you will about Valentino, but the guy is genuine and clearly sees Heath's true character.

Ok but no walk in the park and Ronnie would have buried him.

Post by: Al Doggity on June 18, 2015, 09:41:13 PM
Ronnie is the only one who would have buried him.  Personal taste, but I think Dorian looked awful, so to me, Phil is the superior Mr. O. Kevin Levrone is basically the physique I aspire to, but all of the bridesmaids of the 90s had their flaws. Maybe he wouldn't have been Mr. O, but Phil would have been right at the head of the pack during that era.

Lift Studios posted about this recently, but when Phil's pics were posted on Getbig for the first time people thought they were morphed. He has an impressive physique.  He has weaknesses, but the man was made for competitive bodybuilding.

2. I love GV's story telling and find him one of the more entertaining personalities around bodybuilding.

3. Phil is perfectly in bounds to say Arnold had smaller legs ( quads), because he did .

Perhaps you need to learn about respect because you clearly don't get it. Arnold's legs and the rest of the guys of that era had legs IN BALANCE with the rest of their physiques. Today's bodybuilders legs are not in balance.  Their legs are blown out.  Have you seen Kai walk?  have seen alot of these guys walk?  It looks fucking stupid.  They waddle.  Arnold's legs were not small, you've just been conditioned to believe they are.

I couldn't imagine Ronnie, Dorian, Jay or Dexter talking shit about Arnold period.  Even Lee Haney who as 8 Mr. Os respects the hell out of Arnold and would never say shit like this.   The more you think about it, the more of a fucking dick Phil is for opening his big fucking mouth.  Who the fuck does this guy think he is?  He's fucking insane. 

I'll take grapefruit fucking Kai over this asshole any day. Kai is humble and shows everyone respect.

ya wanna know what always made valentino a success?  He was able to tap in what the average, everyday bodybuilder was thinking and feeling.

He realizes most fans dislike phil, and phil has done something the top star in NO MAJOR SPORT does - engage negatively with fans and those who root against him.

There are plenty of Dolphin and Jets fans that scream "Brady sucks!" every year, but Brady doesn't get online and call them names, call them fat, and tell them to get off the fast food.  Brady, like all top athletes, accepts the "rooting against" isn't being a hater, but just being a fan (of another team/athlete/etc).

Phil doesn't realize this.  Any criticism against his physique, and he's ready to punk the person, he's ready for an "online throwdown".   Fans of the sport are floored by this kind of behavior.  Gregg V is smart to embrace this.  Phil doesn't act like the champ - the champ doesn't "swing down" and argue with fans.  

Phil, just show up and win.  You have the best physique on the planet, you don't need to remind people.  The "haters" shouldn't be motivation - that's negative talk for negative people who need negativity to fuel their success.  Arnold didn't need fuel from the "haters" - he was driven by a confident, secure thirst for success.

This would never occur in a pro team sport like the NFL, but rather more like a 'work' in the WWE. Heath shitting on Arnold sounds like the newer heel champion saying he's better than Hulk Hogan and pointing out Hulk's "weaker" skills in the squared circle.

The bottom line is that bodybuilding is more like professional wrestling than a pro sport.

Valentino claims he was natural in that side biceps shot. Guy is a born liar who abandoned his family to peddle drugs & run around with prostitutes  - he admits as much in his own book. Nice guy.

Phil is an awesome representative of the sport of bodybuilding. Not many Mr. Os have had his mix of charisma and mainstream appeal. Even Arnold, if he were on the scene today, couldn't pull it off the way Phil has. Back when Arnold was on top, bodybuilding was in the shadows. Now, fitness is on everybody's radar.

So not true. Bodybuilding is anything but mainstream, never will be, joke even calling itself a sport - look at kai greene in his s&m shit.

Arnold brought it closer to mainstream, everyone knows who arnold is. More people prolly know who vlad klitschko is than they do phil heath. He is a nobody to the public. Arnold brought bodybuilding closer to mainstream and is one of the most famous people on the planet.

Philsulina is clearly one of the worst offenders in the gut dept.

But is there anyone with a decent midsection?

Even one of the most aesthetic top guys around, Dex, would look at home as a teenage mutant ninja turtle.

Ronnie is the only one who would have buried him.  Personal taste, but I think Dorian looked awful, so to me, Phil is the superior Mr. O. Kevin Levrone is basically the physique I aspire to, but all of the bridesmaids of the 90s had their flaws. Maybe he wouldn't have been Mr. O, but Phil would have been right at the head of the pack during that era.

Lift Studios posted about this recently, but when Phil's pics were posted on Getbig for the first time people thought they were morphed. He has an impressive physique.  He has weaknesses, but the man was made for competitive bodybuilding.

Nah, Phil would've looked like a complete jerk-off opposite Dorian AND Ronnie.

Is he good?  Hell, yes.  I think the man's build catches undue hell because of his shitty attitude ... he's a densely-built, enormous dude for his frame.  When he nails his conditioning, he's a good Mr. Olympia.

OTOH, when Ronnie and Dorian were at their respective bests, they were better than "good" winners, they were no less than *great*; moreover, the guys they were winning against were, for the most part, so far beyond what Phil has faced, it's not even funny.

To be fair, Kai was good for a year or two, but his giant gut,weak traps, shitty MM pose and weird, queer-bait posing take him out of the game right away.  He's far from the contenders we saw from Levrone, Ray, Wheeler, Cormier and even Oilsonbaty before he became full of oil.  Even Jay Cutler, at his best anyway, and little Dexter -- who still wins shows, btw -- were much better, more consistent competitors than the drivel we have now.

The future of the "sport" is Rami and Cedric.  Phil talks about winning the Mr. Olympia until 2020 ... ROTFLMAO.  I guarantee you he'll win at LEAST one more, but the second you've got a non-grapefruit fucking dude up there who can speak a modicum of English AND is in good shape -- adios, Phillipe; so sorry, too jolly ... 'twas nice knowin' ya, you arrogant little prick.

X1000

Typical of a modern day 'bodybuilder' to have the attitude of 'if you legs aren't stupidly big and cartoonish then you have no legs' , that mindset shows the regression of not only the physique of the modern day bodybuilder, but the pea brain of one too. 28" thighs are not small, having an upper body likes Arnolds will make 28" thighs look very small.

ROTFLMAO.  I guarantee you he'll win at LEAST one more, but the second you've got a non-grapefruit fucking dude up there who can speak a modicum of English AND is in good shape -- adios, Phillipe; so sorry, too jolly ... 'twas nice knowin' ya, you arrogant little prick.

Dorian looked terrible in my opinion. Ronnie Coleman easily dominated, but Phil is better than both Jay and Dex. He would have been extremely competitive during the Levrone/Ray/Wheeler era.

Certainly not lacking confidence.

And, yet, for all his talk about how famous he is, not one person gives a shit in that restaurant. Same when he was interviewed by TMZ.  :D :D

Valentino claims he was natural in that side biceps shot. Guy is a born liar who abandoned his family to peddle drugs & run around with prostitutes  - he admits as much in his own book. Nice guy.

Phil is an awesome representative of the sport of bodybuilding. Not many Mr. Os have had his mix of charisma and mainstream appeal. Even Arnold, if he were on the scene today, couldn't pull it off the way Phil has. Back when Arnold was on top, bodybuilding was in the shadows. Now, fitness is on everybody's radar.
With Gregg being my buddy and managing editor, I'm obviously biased and I won't even get into the first part of your post. We're both entitled to our respective opinions.

I do agree that Heath WAS an awesome representative of bodybuilding, but he is coming across like a complete douchebag with his Arnold hate talk. Yes, he has charisma, but mainstream appeal? I don't see it at all. His TMZ blurb & Bloomberg appearance do not suffice for that description.

Arnold could have pulled 'it' off in any era. Bodybuilding was in the shadows until Arnold single-handedly brought it out of them. Not sure how old you are, but my first foray into it was because of "Pumping Iron" when it first came out and also Lou Ferrigno being on The Incredible Hulk - another residual effect from the PI movie.

The fitness revolution in the late 1970s and early-to-mid 80s and it was all from Arnold. That's when it was on everyone's radar. Nowadays, you have these hipster douchebags and everyone sits on their smart phone.

Typical of a modern day 'bodybuilder' to have the attitude of 'if you legs aren't stupidly big and cartoonish then you have no legs' , that mindset shows the regression of not only the physique of the modern day bodybuilder, but the pea brain of one too. 28" thighs are not small, having an upper body likes Arnolds will make 28" thighs look very small. 

Back then it was v taper so the legs were in balance. Today it is x frame with blown up legs and glutes.

I was just trolling about Arnold. Everyone knows he's #1
But the part about Valentino comes straight from his book. He left his family for a drug addled prostitute.

I know and Gregg has said countless times that he fucked up royally for that stuff. It took him years to have his son accept him back in to his life (his daughter was throughout) and as a fellow parent, I can't imagine the self-ass kicking that put him through when they were estranged.
