Heath has made a major splash in the last few weeks. Better than any pro in recent years. Now that he is qualified for the O, the question burns in everyone's head.

Can Dexter STOP Heath? The answer might be NO!

Heath: 5'9"

Dex: 5'5"

Shawn is tossing around the fact that Heath will be in a top 3 spot. that means Dex OUT and heath IN.

Pre prediction:

Ronnie
Jay
Heath?

The only person that can beat Phil Heath right now besides Ronnie is Jay. By 2008 when Ronnie retires Phil will have closed that gap...Mr. Olympia 2008=Phil Heath

He can make top 3. Lets see if he can roll into the Olympia on that tidal wave first. He is damn impressive but its rough doin other shows then trying to peak for the Olympia. Ronnie 2001. Cutler 2003,2004. And he is a rookie to some extent.

No, Heath is signed with AMI, Dex is MD, you do the math.

Dex can retire now. Now more "Fix your broken camera, kid" for him.

Heath is just in but he looks way better.

Dex can take Heath right now. With all these close calls with Darrem and Heath we all know that Dexter can smoke Darrem. Dex really has no weak point except for his height.

Dexter can't beat Heath. Not with those high lats and never looking any different from show to show

and his reverse belly taper

Dex will own him for now.But it should be a good battle next year.
Gustavo ,Markus,Gunter,James all can easily take him down too if they come sharp.

The only way Phil Heath beats Dexter is through politics. Plain and simple. Because toe to toe on a bodybuilding stage, Heath just doesn't cut it against the Dex-Factor.

body88 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 22, 2006, 09:54:14 AM »

How do you figure that?

Health has him on all bodyparts excluding chest...

Dex has an A taper and is 5 foot 2

Conditioning goes to Dexter but health is plenty ripped. It really wont even be close once health adds a bit more size.

Are you kidding? Heath is currently one of my favorite bodybuilders, but he hasnt gone up against the best caliber there is in bodybuilding right now. Both wins were close as hell calls with Darrem and Darrem is a notch below the big guys (Dex, Gustavo, Jay, Ronnie)

in case you forgot what dex looks like

body88 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 22, 2006, 10:17:25 AM »

That doesent mean shit..... Dexter is short.... really short... Phil is optimul height with comparable or better body parts.

Health has the better taper.... Dex has him on conditioning but that is it.

Tigerman · « **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2006, 10:18:14 AM »

Heath has the potential to be better than Dexter but he's not right now.
However Dexter is not doing the Olympia, so third place for Phil sounds about right.

DragonsBreath · « **Reply #14 on:** May 22, 2006, 10:19:21 AM »

Heath will steam roll GHustavo! Dex might give him a reality slap. But i don't think the ~~Bleeders~~ Weiders will let Goonter lose his top 5-6 spot.

The rivalry between Darrem and Heath has begun.

Yeah Ill agree with that for sure. Heath definitely has amazing potential, but as of now he wouldnt be able to beat dexter. If he beat him next year I wouldnt be surprised. Like Heath, Jackson has got some big guns himself. Its a pretty close call on the front but when they turn around dex has the edge.

True that, plus Heath has Dexter on quad separation and Heath actually has CALVES. Dexter will never have them. I say it's hands down Heath all the way.

Rambone · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2006, 10:30:07 AM »

You guys are acting like you forgot what dexter looks like. You cant beat somebody just because you have better calves. Front is the close, Back goes to Dex, Conditioning is close but that goes to dexter, simple as that

Dex has beat tons of taller guys like Jay and Kevin

I BELIEVE DEX IS A LITTLE MORE POLISHED! HE'S FAMOUS FOR HIS CONDITION AND LINES,,I THINK HEATH WILL HAVE A HARD TIME WITH DEX! DEX HAS PRETTY MUCH TOPPED THEM ALL (EXCEPT RONNIE), AND WHEN BEATEN,,IT WAS ALWAYS QUESTIONABLE !?

DragonsBreath · « **Reply #21 on:** May 22, 2006, 10:41:13 AM »

Ok, let's toss this around.

Shawn at 26 vs. Heath at 26?

hey rambone, where is that first pic from? i think heath has some work to do before he takes out dexter. heath is riding momentum, so hes liable to place in the top 5. but my guess is that he replaces gustavo for now.

Dexter is 5'6 not 5'5 (not a big difference) but guess what, he weighs the same come contest time. Just look at the list of competitors Dex has beaten in the past and compare to Phil. You guys cant make huge assumptions that Heath can take on Dex right now. Dex wasnt even in his best form when he won no contest at the arnold classic which is the 2nd best show and lets see who he beat:
2 Branch Warren

3 Victor Martinez

4 Gustavo Badell

5 Melvin Anthony

6 Lee Priest

7 Mustafa Mohammad

8 Darrem Charles

9 Toney Freeman

10 Troy Alves

11 David Henry
