Sure, he sucks from the front. Nonetheless, if people are going to rant and rave about Heath, he should be able to at least hold his own in the back department against a shitty pro (joel stubbs).

I was referring to Mr. Olympias (I said he supposedly is the best bodybuilder in the world). Stubbs back did not blow Ronnie or Dorians out of the water. Heck, Haneys back may even hold his own against Stubbs.
But Stubbs back makes Heaths back look like an amateur. All Mr. O's had a pretty damn good back. But I guess all you need is really big arms to be a Mr. O.

Mr.Olympia 2013 - Phil Heath!

Can't deny Phil is bigger than ever. But he's lost definition because of the added mass.

His arms are unreal
-
Arms and delts. thats it .
-
Has he trained his chest at all this year?
I agree that his chest looks non-existent here, but when that shirt comes off, I think he'll be second to none.
Well, except Rami, who has enormous everything, but will never beat Heath no matter what, so it pretty much doesn't matter.
-
His arms are unreal
Slabs for arms, average back and quads, zero chest, zero width
-
Phil has very deep separation and is pretty complete. He does have a narrow structure but still better than the others. It's between him and Jay.
-
he looks sick but he will always be a small pro.
-
Take away his arms and he's an average NPC competitor.
-
phil has dead lifeless eyes... its like his eyes have seen horrors that he keeps locked up deep inside
-
Mr.Olympia 2013 - Phil Heath!
Mr Olympia 2013 - Branch Warren! :D
-
Heath takes bodybuilding illusion to the extremes and has made it work in this age where proportion and symmetry has disappeared as a criteria for success. He hides a lot of flaws with his massive arms. Lucky for him that the judges are blind morons now.
-
that is pretty sick. Cutlers arms will look like toothpics next to that.

This. Still hard to judge from DJ-style pics but those are the epitome of All-Arms.
-
No-one grows into a show like Phil can. Cool pics.

Embodiment of the expression all arms
-
Great arms & delts, but the rest is NPC level.
-
He needs bigger arms.
-
Whats crazy is the cat is still young. He's gonna keep getting better and better for the next few years.
He should have this year on lock if he dials it in right.
-
idoubt that. he cant train his structure
-
Mr.Olympia 2013 - Phil Heath!
-
Those huge delts compensate for his structural flaws.
He'll continue to bring up his chest and back.
-

It's Levrone Logic.

Yup
It would appear so its all about arms...
Great arms that aside I don't think those pics are impressive for a mr o
-

I thought I was the only one that noticed this....
-
I thought I was the only one that noticed this....
no, you are not. Remember last yr when that one pic came out, and it looked like he really took to chest training? Well, it looks like there was less focus on that...wish he had continued. Then it would be one less thing the "haters" ::) can talk about.
-
Based in past mr o I just don't think has a mr o physique
I don't care how many arm pics are taken ... Seen it already what has he brought different this year
-
Heath is always ready for the next step.
-
Great Delts & Arms!
Poor Traps & Pecs
-
I still think levrone in M3 was way more impressive looking than heath. he may had less muscle but looks a lot more powerfull.
levrones arms look much better to me than heaths too.

Heath WILL NOT be beaten , he's just to damn good. Kai had his best shot last year and made NO inroads what so ever , despite me thinking it was close in reality it wasn't , Phil whopped his ass straight firsts .
Jay may be on the money but I think Phil can beat him , It's all about the mandatory poses and Phil just collects more of them than anyone else. Phil is to smart to lose and honestly there isn't anyone yet who can knock him out.

It still has the bunched up look I'm afraid.

It's easy if you watched a lot of bbers over the years you know how they're supposed to fill out a shirt.
Phil's delts look bigger than his chest in that picture.
-
He definitely looks his best so far. I'm just not a fan of his physique. It's not his fault...that's just his shape. Just not one I'm a fan of.

Why Mr. Olympia bought these tricked-out, souped up cars
Phil “The Gift” Heath
Profession: Bodybuilder
Age: 33
Hometown: Seattle
Notable achievements
Started bodybuilding in 2002 and won his first amateur competition in 2003
Wonseveral International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness Pro Competition titles, including the 2011 Mr. Olympia title, the 2011 and 2012 Sheru Classic (1st place), the 2008 IFBB Iron Man Pro (1st place), and the 2006 IFBB New York Pro (1st place)
Upcoming
Competing for the Mr. Olympia title at the 2013 Olympia Fitness and Performance Weekend, Sept. 26-29 in Las Vegas
Stars in the new docu-drama flick, Generation Iron, which examines the professional sport of bodybuilding.
***** ***** *****
Phil “The Gift” Heath hopes to one day top Arnold Schwarzenegger’s achievement.
Heath is trying to win his third consecutive Mr. Olympia title at the Super Bowl of bodybuilding championships in Las Vegas later this month. Schwarzenegger won the title in six consecutive years from 1970 to 1975 and again in 1980, while Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman have each won the title eight times.
And if Heath succeeds and wins the $250,000 prize, he may just treat himself to another gift – a fourth car. He already owns a 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT, a Mercedes-Benz S550 and a 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports.
What’s your favourite ride?
The big bad one is the 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports. It comes equipped with 621 horsepower and I actually tuned it to 650.
It’s the fastest Bentley production car they’ve made yet. It actually holds the world record for riding on ice on the Baltic at 205.48 miles/hour. And it goes up to speeds close to 218. But I haven’t driven it that fast. I’ve only got it up to 178 miles. The Bentley is a track car – no question about it.
But it also has luxury to cruise around. And it’s not obnoxious like some other cars that are very high-rev like a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. This car is more of a sleeper because they think of Bentley as an old-man car, but in actuality this vehicle is very well-equipped to challenge anything on the road.
I think my most obnoxious vehicle is the truck [Escalade EXT]. Some of the things I’ve put inside it are most impressive. I actually beefed up the engine so I have it supercharged along with a full intercooler, long tube headers, and a customized exhaust. I’ve added about 150 horsepower to it. So it’s around 550 horsepower – up from 400.
In addition, I’ve got around 5,000 watts of stereo equipment. It’s pretty incredible. I’ve got four 12-inch subwoofers – it’s pretty crazy. I’ve got dual screens in the console – instead of the normal OnStar I actually ripped that out and put two screens in one. It’s just a TV screen so you can set the navigation. The one that’s lower is a CD with a seven-inch touch screen, so I can watch a movie on it while I drive, which is not smart. The possibilities are endless with this system.
On the outside I’ve got 26-inch tires on it. I actually took them off recently to get them repaired, but that’s what I normally drive with.
It’s very loud. It makes your eyeballs shake – it’s crazy. If you stood outside the vehicle you would be able to feel it in your chest.
If I want to drive fast in that truck I can. If I want to zone out and think about training for the Olympia or decompressing after a long trip overseas I can go for a ride in that. It has the power to get me there fast.
One of my other daily drivers is a Mercedes-Benz S550. It’s a 4Matic for the snow. I didn’t do anything crazy to it. But I did put custom wheels on that one. I have 22-inch Asanti wheels. On the front, they have a two-inch lift. On the rear, they have a four- inch lift. The lifts are actually white and the spokes are actually black. It matches the roof on the top of the car and the white matches the exterior of the car. I didn’t do anything else to it.
Why do you need all that speed – you can’t use it in North America?
I need it because I’m a big guy. I’m Mr. Olympia, best body builder in the world. I love power. Big boys need big boy toys. I wanted to have cars that show some style and elegance. And I work very hard at the gym and play hard outside of it and obviously I want to enjoy myself.
Have you had any speeding tickets?
I’ve had one speeding ticket in the past three years. That was about a month after I got my Bentley. I still keep the actual ticket inside the glove box as a friendly reminder that I must obey the law and ensure I’m being safe.
When you change lanes in this car it goes. Any time you have a car that goes from 0 to 60 [mph] in three-and-a-half seconds, you got to be careful. You can get on the gas and I can go from 30 to 65 [mph] within a second. It’s not that hard.
I’m sure I’m going to get another ticket. At some point some guy is going to make an example out of me. But I’m not going to pull the celebrity card to get out of a ticket – do you know who I am? That’s not the right way to do it – you’ve got to obey the law as much as possible. If you’re going to drive crazy don’t be mad if you get pulled over.
Have you always been a car guy?
Ever since I was a child I always liked cars. It was a dream of mine to be able to own the cars I have. This is a reflection of my hard work and dedication to what I’ve done in my life. That’s how I look at it. Some people might interpret it however they want.
Anything I’ve purchased it’s not to one-up another person or say, ‘Hey, look at me.’ It’s just to remind myself – look I’ve set a goal and I’m able to achieve it. This is the fruits of my labour.
What was your first car?
The first car I ever got was a 1982 Volvo DL. It was yellow and it was my mother’s. For my 16th birthday, right before getting my licence my stepfather painted it black. I probably would have gotten beat up at school driving a yellow banana car.
In the first six months of driving that car, I upgraded the tape player in it. I put a subwoofer and speakers in it. I was saving all my money for the upgrades. It was pretty cool.
The first car I bought was a 2001 Lincoln V-8 sedan. I bought it two weeks before I won my professional status at the NPC [National Physique Committee] USA competition and two-and-a-half hours after I purchased the car I got rear-ended.
Here I am wearing shorts, a tank top and a bandana. I’m shredded like the Incredible Hulk and I get out of the car, coming after you, asking for your information. The guy didn’t want to get out of the car.
He didn’t even have insurance – that’s what sucked the most. I can’t lie – I actually hunted the guy down and said, ‘Do right by this and pay out of pocket.’ And he did.
It took about six months for him to pay me back. I ended up tricking that car out, putting speakers in it and a body kit on it. I drove that car for about two years. It had sentimental value because it was the first time I went to a dealership by myself and bought something.
What car would you buy if you win the Mr. Olympia title again?
If money was no object I would definitely drive a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. Something more realistic is a Lamborghini Aventador LP700.

Phil “The Gift” Heath hopes to one day top Arnold Schwarzenegger’s achievement.
Heath is trying to win his third consecutive Mr. Olympia title at the Super Bowl of bodybuilding championships in Las Vegas later this month. Schwarzenegger won the title in six consecutive years from 1970 to 1975 and again in 1980, while Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman have each won the title eight times.
And if Heath succeeds and wins the $250,000 prize, he may just treat himself to another gift – a fourth car. He already owns a 2008 Cadillac Escalade EXT, a Mercedes-Benz S550 and a 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports.
What’s your favourite ride?
The big bad one is the 2010 Bentley Continental Supersports. It comes equipped with 621 horsepower and I actually tuned it to 650.
It’s the fastest Bentley production car they’ve made yet. It actually holds the world record for riding on ice on the Baltic at 205.48 miles/hour. And it goes up to speeds close to 218. But I haven’t driven it that fast. I’ve only got it up to 178 miles. The Bentley is a track car – no question about it.
But it also has luxury to cruise around. And it’s not obnoxious like some other cars that are very high-rev like a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. This car is more of a sleeper because they think of Bentley as an old-man car, but in actuality this vehicle is very well-equipped to challenge anything on the road.
I think my most obnoxious vehicle is the truck [Escalade EXT]. Some of the things I’ve put inside it are most impressive. I actually beefed up the engine so I have it supercharged along with a full intercooler, long tube headers, and a customized exhaust. I’ve added about 150 horsepower to it. So it’s around 550 horsepower – up from 400.
In addition, I’ve got around 5,000 watts of stereo equipment. It’s pretty incredible. I’ve got four 12-inch subwoofers – it’s pretty crazy. I’ve got dual screens in the console – instead of the normal OnStar I actually ripped that out and put two screens in one. It’s just a TV screen so you can set the navigation. The one that’s lower is a CD with a seven-inch touch screen, so I can watch a movie on it while I drive, which is not smart. The possibilities are endless with this system.
On the outside I’ve got 26-inch tires on it. I actually took them off recently to get them repaired, but that’s what I normally drive with.
It’s very loud. It makes your eyeballs shake – it’s crazy. If you stood outside the vehicle you would be able to feel it in your chest.
If I want to drive fast in that truck I can. If I want to zone out and think about training for the Olympia or decompressing after a long trip overseas I can go for a ride in that. It has the power to get me there fast.
One of my other daily drivers is a Mercedes-Benz S550. It’s a 4Matic for the snow. I didn’t do anything crazy to it. But I did put custom wheels on that one. I have 22-inch Asanti wheels. On the front, they have a two-inch lift. On the rear, they have a four- inch lift. The lifts are actually white and the spokes are actually black. It matches the roof on the top of the car and the white matches the exterior of the car. I didn’t do anything else to it.
Why do you need all that speed – you can’t use it in North America?
I need it because I’m a big guy. I’m Mr. Olympia, best body builder in the world. I love power. Big boys need big boy toys. I wanted to have cars that show some style and elegance. And I work very hard at the gym and play hard outside of it and obviously I want to enjoy myself.
Have you had any speeding tickets?
I’ve had one speeding ticket in the past three years. That was about a month after I got my Bentley. I still keep the actual ticket inside the glove box as a friendly reminder that I must obey the law and ensure I’m being safe.
When you change lanes in this car it goes. Any time you have a car that goes from 0 to 60 [mph] in three-and-a-half seconds, you got to be careful. You can get on the gas and I can go from 30 to 65 [mph] within a second. It’s not that hard.
I’m sure I’m going to get another ticket. At some point some guy is going to make an example out of me. But I’m not going to pull the celebrity card to get out of a ticket – do you know who I am? That’s not the right way to do it – you’ve got to obey the law as much as possible. If you’re going to drive crazy don’t be mad if you get pulled over.
Have you always been a car guy?
Ever since I was a child I always liked cars. It was a dream of mine to be able to own the cars I have. This is a reflection of my hard work and dedication to what I’ve done in my life. That’s how I look at it. Some people might interpret it however they want.
Anything I’ve purchased it’s not to one-up another person or say, ‘Hey, look at me.’ It’s just to remind myself – look I’ve set a goal and I’m able to achieve it. This is the fruits of my labour.
What was your first car?
The first car I ever got was a 1982 Volvo DL. It was yellow and it was my mother’s. For my 16th birthday, right before getting my licence my stepfather painted it black. I probably would have gotten beat up at school driving a yellow banana car.
In the first six months of driving that car, I upgraded the tape player in it. I put a subwoofer and speakers in it. I was saving all my money for the upgrades. It was pretty cool.
The first car I bought was a 2001 Lincoln V-8 sedan. I bought it two weeks before I won my professional status at the NPC [National Physique Committee] USA competition and two-and-a-half hours after I purchased the car I got rear-ended.
Here I am wearing shorts, a tank top and a bandana. I’m shredded like the Incredible Hulk and I get out of the car, coming after you, asking for your information. The guy didn’t want to get out of the car.
He didn’t even have insurance – that’s what sucked the most. I can’t lie – I actually hunted the guy down and said, ‘Do right by this and pay out of pocket.’ And he did.
It took about six months for him to pay me back. I ended up tricking that car out, putting speakers in it and a body kit on it. I drove that car for about two years. It had sentimental value because it was the first time I went to a dealership by myself and bought something.
What car would you buy if you win the Mr. Olympia title again?
If money was no object I would definitely drive a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport. Something more realistic is a Lamborghini Aventador LP700.

What you think about this, Uncle Wiggs? That deposit is Kai's money!
I think Phil is safe unlike his predecessor Wheeler. He got the house out the way up and front when the market was soft and they were giving them away in Arvada, Broomfield and Westminster. Now, he's just getting his rides. I still think you don't need them in Colorado, just no where to drive and stunt, and the roads are fucked from the snow and salt. Women have bad skin and hair from no moisture.
Anyway...Wiggs 2012s go for under 375k in LA!
-
Phil gonna be collecting that 250K check, much to Wigg's dismay!

True. A Red Benz goes for 2-3K less than an equal Black or Grey one.

levrone is 10 times better than heath

lol. The car crash is coming...Cutler isn't making it to the stage. No way!
ah, you're talking about the conspiracy theory that jay would fake an accident (after showing off his cars and 24/7 camerman), and there would be footage right afterwards of "Ouch, my shoulder, it was just hurt!"
I've heard that conspiracy theory before - I think Jay is just too brave and tough to ever try such an approach. If he's not in shape and deserves 9th, then he'll show up and get 4th. It's good to be a former champ :)
If Jay DOES drop outta the show, I will gladly admit you were wiser than the rest of us on jay's sack, extolling his virtues. But at this point, he's probably 'close enough' to enter.
Plus, shawn ray would be mocking Jay daily for the next 10 years if Jay skipped the show. Shawn is probably the ONLY reason Jay is still doing this show.

That's Kev at his worst, when he lost his legs.
Still a close call in their primes.

phil is way closer to the camera in the first shot, kev still gets humiliated in legs and back shots tho.
-
Levrone was better from the front
his back was weak- lacked thickness and detail, esp the BDB
-
levrone's arms look better than phils in bdb, but worse in mm clasped ???
true story...

Lights out

To me levrone looked way way better than heath. maybe its also because kevin had width and heith has girlie delts and horrible structure.
-
Levrone had the better frame, Phil has more detail, roundness and separation in his muscle!
-
On the first pic, traps, delts, pecs, abs are all the Levrone's. Arms: apples and oranges; Heath's are bigger with more separation but Levrone has density strangely over Heath. Quads and, then on the second pic, back are Phil's.
-
dont know bout you guys but i personally think levrones arms looked way better, bigger is not always better.
-
ha, its pathetic when a random pro like joel stubbs has a better back than the supposely best bodybuilder int he world (heath)

the 94-98 version of Levrone was nearly unbeatable. Only guys like Yates, Coleman, and Wheeler could touch this. Nasser was in that group too..... but Levrone was always a mega threat at the Olympia.
