Just as strong as Coleman or yates. Heck, given his compact frame and efficient clavicle width, he might be pound-for-pound STRONGER than those two. Food for thought.

Craig Titus would wear a weight belt/back brace to get a drink of water.
Phil would probably squat 1000 in his posing trunks if gym policy allowed for it.

Ron would do 3 plates each side on that machine. The closer the hands, the more you can push, so Phil has an advanced because of the short clavicles.

people shit all over the champ, saying he's weak-minded and 'all insulin'.
But yeah, Phil carried EARNED muscle, serious functional strength, and would probably do well in the NBA if he scaled down his weight a little bit.

Who cares, he makes the most of what he has and looks the best on stage. If all he did was pushups, what's the difference?

An Oxford shoe is characterized by shoelace eyelets that are attached under the vamp, a feature termed "closed lacing". This contrasts with Derbys, or Blüchers, which have shoelace eyelets attached to the top of the vamp. Originally, Oxfords were plain, formal shoes, made of leather but they evolved into a range of styles suitable for both formal and casual wear. Based on function and the dictates of fashion, Oxfords are now made from a variety of materials, including calf leather, patent leather, suede, and canvas. They are normally black or brown, and may be plain or patterned (Brogue)

Something looks weird in this pic. Phil's head looks like a pumpkin. Huge. Must be an odd angle for the lens

In my opinion, Phil Heath lifts much smarter that Ronnie or Dorian and will not end up wrecked like them. I thinks he understands what needs to happen in the gym and the occasional photo shoot is where he bumps up the weights a little to add some "drama" for the camera. Smart trainer.

not true.. actually in his famous video his heaviest chest set on the incline was 190 kg and his partner was touching the bar from the very first rep!!.. and he was not bending his back a lot while doing rowing which makes it much easier (i do it the same way)..
yates was one of the best ever to train hard but he was not at all one of the strongest..

Heath knows that injuries can occur at any moment so trains in a manner that most reduces that possibility while still providing the stimulation for growth/maintenance.
Dillett was similar.
These guys aren't weak. No one who carries so much muscle on their frame is going to be weak.
Heath just trains smartly and because of this, don't expect him to be losing his Olympia crown any time soon.

because of this thread i did my chest workout today on the same machine as phil,.. 2 sets in the incline and 2 on the flat instead of my normal free weights routine ;D

use a tape measure to record your new pectoral growth. You should be able to add 2" in just 8 weeks.

Heath needs to do something to fix that weak chest. When he first started out as a rookie it was that apparent, but now it is. He of course cannot make it wider, but he can make it thicker.

His chest is plenty thick.. you need glasses .. the clavicles are narrow and the ribcage insertions are fairly short but he developed it as much as possible.. looks fine onstage

I guess you forgot the pic from 2012, about 5 weeks out from the Mr. O...everybody was impressed by his thicker chest.
There is always room for improvement. What you are saying is like saying that his arms can't be bigger. Sure his chest can be more developed. Dude is is only about. 240ish-250. He is just hitting his stride.
People were saying the same thing you are saying back in 2007.

Craig actually tore his pec benching over 500 pounds. Those who trained with him said was one of the strongest pros around

I don't know about that story. I think he tore it while as an amateur...and after that he was scare to train heavy again...he was known as having one of the weakest chests.
Now, Kevin had tore a pec, and he kept benching heavy after that.

Yates , for his bodyweight was not strong.
Kevin levrone absolutely killed Dorian on benching
Branch for his body wt is very very strong
Stan efferding kills them all strength wise

Phil as he says is being cautious
I think Phil is actually strong he just doesn't want to get injured
Four plates game strength is an easy 15+ rep movement for me
3rd excercise in
Phil is cocky but also smart

On Getbig it's the equivalent of lifting a gallon of milk. In real life it's upper echelon in virtually any gym in the world.

4 plates aint that strong on hammer strength,and Ronnie and dorian handeled that much and more on barbells.

Meso is as far as I know the top natural in shape on this board, strength wise.
I did it a few times about a year and half ago and found myself having to put up either 4.5 or 5 plates on and I was somewhere between 180 and 190kg for 1 rep strength on flat. You're closer to 5 plates flat, yeah?
My statement that it isn't anything special is based on the fact I can do it. It cannot be special if I can do it.
-
yates weights were average for pro. bbrs.. a lot of guys in his era were stronger..
Yates used strict form, while many others did not and lifted for their egos.

I had no idea I was among the top echelon.... Ive done 6 plates for 8 before. But I always thought HS machines were easier to handle

why would you call Phil Heath a cheating little bitch?
How could the Champ possibly deserve such a punking?

Ummmm...Cuz he's a wee little midglet of a mannie in a thong who has had more pins in him than either the Queen of England's hats or a Reagan Voo Doo Doll at the 72 Democratic Convention. 100% drug built. Screw him and the syringe he rode in on.
Few like the bloated little dipstick to begin with and with good reason. He's the Butterfly McQueen of his time.

no, obviously you haven't
terrible gimmick

huh..... jealous much

Those machines don't usually accept 6 plates, FYI. I think 5 is the max.
-
huh..... jealous much
yes, and jealous of your imaginary mid 500's bench press that would go with that imaginary level of strength on the HS incline.
At least make an effort to be semi plausible when you lie online.

actually I was just fucking with the twinks... HS machines hold 7 plates a side. Its kind of like the serial number on a condom Most of the mental midgets here have never seen one....

4 plates per side on that machine is like 2 plates on an incline bb bench
shit... I was pushing 5 plates, if not 6 (as many as it held) on 100mg test/wk at a bodyweight of 230.. maybe 220 (at like 15%) a few years ago.

how about cable flies with 30lbs
Phil Really hates the free weights

Actually he could claim 60 pounds. Cause he's allowed to combine the weights, since he's using both stacks at the same time. So yeah, suddenly Phil doesn't look so weak and impotent anymore now that we're seeing some serious numbers. Most people in my gym cannot use 60 pounds on the cable flyes, you can see Phil's functional muscle at work there.
-

i only do 2 plates for 12 reps so 4 for 12 would be impressive

Looks to be 560 by my best estimation.
Anyway, has anyone considered the possibility that Phil doesn't use free weights much because he keeps BREAKING them?
I'd use machines too, if my insanely brutal training style meant I kept cracking those bars and olympic plates.
Something to consider... I bet the "know it alls" on the message boards have never considered that possibility, have they?
-
He's so narrow, he can't press the dumbells all the way up without them colliding. This is why he uses hammer strength.
-
I have seen little mark Lobliner doing the same exercise . He is doing 4 plates in this clip but I have seen him use five plates with ease. he is strong for a little dude.

I don't doubt that for a second; you're a big, strong dude as I recall, and I doubt you need much test E to lift decent weights.
However, to be fair, methinks you exaggerate the ratio a bit. I've inclined 275 on a 45-50 degree bench for maybe 6-7 smooth reps with brief pauses on the chest, and I found that about as hard as four plates/side on the Hammer Strength Iso-Incline machine for, eh, 10-12 reps, also paused at the bottom (eh, thereabouts. It might've been 6-8; I've always actually SUCKED on HS machines).
Whatever -- something like that. 4 plates/side is definitely harder than inclining 225 for me. Even that clown Genova could incline 225 for 8-plus, and none of that halfway down shit, but he almost shit himself trying to break around 4 plates on the Hammer for one (only to follow with a few chickenshit half-reps).
But on a different note, I really love that machine. Once I can train again, I really hope to pile the weight on for a shit-ton of reps. I only wish I had access to HS Wide Chest and some of their other chest presses, even if that "wide chest" model was a shoulder-wrecker IIRC :?:

actually I'm not that strong in pressing mov'ts... which why I'm not impressed with a 4-5plate hammer strength press.... if I can do it, others should definitely be able to do it. lol.. especially considering the nerve damage in my chest from a broken sternum. on an 'ok' day, my working sets are 315 pressing, on a really good day it's 365, on a lazy day it's 275... surely not impressive numbers. lol
-
Ah, I hear ya, man.
My only point was that I could BB incline well over 225 for 8-10reps when I could also struggled with 4 plates/side on the Hammer Iso-Incline for ... ??? 3-4?
I honestly can't remember, and it really doesn't matter. Further commiserations about your nerve damage and broken sternum :( You are one of my favorite posters, and I wouldn't wish that on ... err ... one of my least favorite posters.
Excuse myself while I go jump off the nearest cliff by myself ... :D

Yeow!!!!!
I know all about those techs, though Visualizeperfection makes a great point; I only wish I'd a much greater affinity for the sciences ... as-is, I'm on the fence: do I get yet another undergrad degree just to be an entry-level public school teacher, do I pursue an MA or even dual-MA such that I might have school principal potential (maybe by the time I'm ready to retire, anyway, LOL), or do I go all-out for an M.D. in one of my BA fields? Gah, so confusing ... and with the job market the way it is, I can't help but to wonder how well I can ride the tides of fortune either way I dive in; where they lead, no man can know. (On top of all that shit, I have to have my colostomy procedure reversed before I make any kind of serious move. That's on the immediate horizon, thank Crom, the Great Maker*, God and whomever else will listen to my hapless pleas ;) .)
*The Great Maker is a sci-fi reference, and a rather particular one at that. IF someone can prove they know the reference without exercising much in the way of Google-Fu, I'll PayPal you ... uhh ... however many dollars I can spare ;) (Seriously, even with new-found health-care coverage, I'm struggling far more than I should.)
OH! And FWIW: I don't mind working for a boss as such, either, even though I did very well as a freelance copy editor for various public schools, private schools, community colleges, a few universities and a LOT of PR firms who represented one or all of the above. Working for myself was great in a lot of respects, but without very well-defined contracts ... eh. One of my exes, still kind of a friend, has done her best to talk me out of teaching. But a steady cheque, benefits and, depending on the school, potential for tenure? I'm all over that shit.
