Title: Phil heath is a legitimate threat to ASC and the O
Post by: Armageddon on December 15, 2006, 10:56:09 AM
I think he can upset a lot of the guys and an easy top 6 in the O and might win or 2nd in the ASC

Only problem is the Winner of the olympia seems to be decided way before the contest is ever held.  They had Ronnie winning it every year for his run and I think they had already made their mind up before the O this year that they would give it to Cutler.  now he will win it 3 or 4 years in a row.  The olympia contest is a fucking joke.

He has a lot to prove. I dont think the ASC or O will happen for a while. Give him about 3 years. Thats my opinion

Looking at the Colorodo pics, Heath needs more back size.


Apparently Heath has recently brought up his back and by March he may be able to place top 3.


Dexter, Melvin, Gustavo, Victor, Branch, and Jonnie all have backs.

So....whoever wins THIS year will have been decided before also? I guess you could say that for any given year then, right?

If Phil brings the same conditioning he presented a the Colo pro  with the added size he has been working on to the 2007 ASC, we have a new winner.

The O maybe a different story (Ronnie's unfinished business for 07).

I just say write it down, Jay Cutler has already won last year, this year and the year after, then he retires and the O brings in the new champ for a 4 or 5 year run.  There always is a guy that goes on a streak of several years winning it.  Can you honestly say its because hes the best every year during that run?  You think Ronnie was the best his entire run?  Or dorian?

Title: Re: Phil heath is a legitimate threat to ASC and the O
Post by: Chick on December 15, 2006, 11:59:06 AM
No, I don't...but agreeing or disagreeing with the decision has nothing to do with being "pre-determined"...What would be the advantage of having a champ for 8 years in a row? Who would benefit (other than Ronnie)? Did it help the sport?

If you're going to lay claim to conspiracies, at least try and justify what you're saying...

The Olympia is VERY predictable.  The top 2 next year will be Ronnie and Jay.  That's a given.  It would take a minor miracle for someone else to place 1st or second next year.

Heath looks good next to Vic and Dex, but in those pics he is smaller, but, he has a crisper look.  I actually thinks he looks better b/c he has more detail

Phil shouldnt win that ...melvin, dex, victor are all much better than him...the only way i can see them letting him win is to create a new star..sell mags, new controversy...

but that never happens in BB  ::)

but bob, it does to some extent have a lot to do with "what the judges are looking for"... right?... i mean the reality is that phil could never win the O looking anything like he does now, right?... ide love to see someone looking like he does walk away with it, but will that happen?, probably not, unless the judges "decide b4hand" that this year theyre going to favor a more traditional styled physique... dont these "judges" have half a dozen or so meetings the week b4 the olympia to discuss such matters.... if not, why all the meetings

Ive seen Phil in person a few weeks ago at a local Denver bodybuilding show.

The guy has gotten bigger and so has Kai Greene

For you guys to underestimate Phil is foolish. Until you can stand right next to a pro and see how small you are compared to them, youll never understand...

I thought I was a big guy..Phil is huge!  And I believe in my heart he will take the Arnold....

Ive seen Dexter in person too and wasnt even impressed at all....I tell you...I believe Phil is bigger than Dexter.

Wait till you see the package Phil brings....

Look good. But TOO SMALL.
At least need Victors size to be a mr.O.
Shawn just want to justify his possibility to be a mr.O because of being similar body type to this Phil Heath.
i saw same tendency in Milos too. His favorite BBers are always good proportion BBer with thin muscle.
Balance is very important between Mass and Shape.
You dont need to be bigger to be ugly, but you need minimum mass to be a mr.O.

In old days, simply there werent tall BBers without lagging bodyparts.
In those days,if one BBer has 250, he was not big but he was tall.And its difficult to be filled with muscle for tall guys especially legs.
From this mean,also,in old time mr.U or USA,most of Overall winners are from middle weight. Not Light heavy nor heavy.
But,now a day,many tall bber without lagging bodyparts like Gunter occupy top spot.
So if you are short,you should be unbelievably huge to knock out those tall guys without lagging bodyparts.

saw phil at the nats expo and at jerrys deli after the finals on miami beach. seated with him were gustavo, jeramy freeman(THIS GUY WAS HUUUUGE), haney rambod, bob chik, my freind bill wilmore,the super heavy guy that got 4th(i think), and a few i cant remember right now. dont get me wrong, phil is big, just not in the huge catagory yet.

We all know Victor has the size over Phil and Dex, but can he come in conditioned and hold it? He was the best we'd seen him in the Olympia prejudging but wasn't able to keep it. Dexter's conditioning is never an issue and we'll know he'll come in peeled. Phil has put on some thickness in his offseason and if he can match his Colorado conditioning, this is going to be one interesting Arnold. These are your top 3 contenders without a doubt but Branch, Gustavo and Toney Freeman are looking to get in the mix as well.

This will be one of the best AC's in some time.

Anyone who has seen Phil compete knows it's a different ballgame when he is on stage posing, his conditioning and detail give the illusion he is bigger then he is in street clothes.

Ask Dan Solomon, Dan still owes me two steak dinners over doubting that Heath would win the Colorado and New York Pro.  ;)

Last time I checked that was the 70'.  Way different criteria for judging now than even 20 years ago let alone 30.  Ronnie would been a circus freak back than. The whole body type is judged differently now because of the massive drug regimes.   Zane or Franco would have a hard time winning one of the small pro shows today, never mind the O.  We will never see another Mr O. under 240.  Even that's small for these freaks of today.

He knocked off Charles at the Colorado and NY shows... and they were close ones with an 11-20 Olympia guy.  I'm sure he has improved over the last 8 mths or so...but he needs 2-3 yrs to build quality thick muscle.  As noted...it will be a rip off if he wins the Arnold.  Should be on the bottom half of the top 6 at the O.

Yeah the same "dumb fuck" who told everyone to watch out for Heath before Jr. Nationals.  ::) I still think Ronnie should have won, but hey you're the man in the know and when does posting a picture of Ronnie equate to name dropping?
