Title: Phil "the Hype" Heath getting the full weider backing
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on February 29, 2008, 07:35:18 AM: I was flipping through the recent FLEX mag and there must have been a shot of Phil Heath on every second page. You're telling me that Weider is not setting him up to win the Arnold and the Olympia? He is getting more hype and visability than any bodybuilder in the last 10 years.

Even Mr. O Ronnie didn't get as much magazine coverage as Heath is getting.

Ronnie had that pesky thing called a fully developed chest. That annoyed the editors.

BOOM! Biggest triceps in the game!

I agree, he is very hyped. I also think that he's being groomed (not internet like) to be the next Mr. O. after Cutler.

It seemed Ronnie had haters since day 1 :-\

Not sure why, but he never had everyone backing him...even now we've got clowns saying that Nasser or Flex should've won the 98 and 99 Olympias?! ::)

Phil is setting HIMSELF up to win the Olympia. Last time I checked, the guy won the USA on his first try and has won three of his first four pro shows (including this year's IronMan).

That has something to do with the "hype and visibility".

I agree with that, especially as Martinez is reading comics if he thinks that his knee is going to be recovered enough for him to sport Olympia calibre wheels by late september. Hence, the likes of Wolf, Heath, Jackson etc all move up a place.
