Palumbo should’ve asked him how it felt to be suffering from Stage IV Palumboism.

Lol! Phil has stage 1 progressing to stage 2 at most!

But as we have seen before it can develop quite rapidly once receptors get unresponsive and subject keeps slamming the HGH/slin whilst progressing in age.

Very benign questions, Phil is acting like Palumbo went full Mike Wallace on him.

I can't wait for a couple of decades from now when nobody's calling or even worse he starts getting the "Who are you, and what do you do that makes you famous?" type questions. Heath is going to be crushed.

Most unlikable Mr. Olympia we've had.

Cry Phil cry!!! Wahhhh wahhhhhh!!!

Philly is an absolute sack of pure shit. An arrogant, snotty, bratty, spoiled, effeminate drama queen.
He considers himself a legend-like he is the founding father in bodybuilding. He’s fucking trash.
Overdeveloped cartoon arms that look like cancerous tumors-much like the cancer he is on bodybuilding, and much like the cancer his ex wife had -who he used to further his career then dumped her and his stepson.
He’s failed at everything he tries, and takes zero responsibility.
He’s made no improvements to his body-and after a whole year of only having to train for 1 show-he fucks it up.
Worthless, dumb nose that looks like someone smashed with a mallet
Effeminate, delusional, conceited, selfish, oblivious to reality.
A true asshole who needs to just fade away.
He’s destroyed bodybuilding, and no pro respects him. He’s a joke-An absolute joke.
He has nothing to offer to anyone.
He has no legacy.
He’s made no difference in anything.
Outside of bodybuilding, no one cares about him or knows who he is. A pencil is more well known than him.

Enjoy second place moron!! Hope you enjoyed being Mr O-it’ll never happen again!

He got gifted second place. That was clearly Roelly's spot, who had few flaws except for soft legs and no lower back.

Still, Heath never resorted to something as pathetic as Jay's left arm in this photo.

I think they key here is that Dave was trying to ask questions that have been asked over and over again, and frankly, I just don't think Phil want to talk about these things - the divorce, the Gifted agreement - that was a few years back.  It is like asking Bob a question about the Mirage Hotel, which he has been asked a few time. It got old.

Getbig is a virtual platform, though. You can log off and go do something else if the jokes get under your skin. Real life is another arena altogether. A champion, current or former, is held up to higher standards than an ex-bodybuilder on a muscle site. What I'm saying is what you're seeing here are the character traits that made Phil the most unpopular Mr. Olympia ever. Honestly, look at the forum for reactions to his loss and notice they're unanimously happy and congratulatory for Shawn while derisive and dismissive of Phil. It's clear he's just not a very likable guy and being irritated by a few questions is just another example of that, among many.

If Ramy had come like this on stage, he could've walked away with it. His smoothness and lack of vascularity hurt him badly.

Still, imagine shoving your inches of man beef in between booty's two slices of wonderbread, then throw an Aussie accent in there. Fuckin' A. She might be the only woman here but she's decent.

Thank you for the compliment. Let’s stick to Ramy who’s waist is as wide as his shoulders.

His enormous quad development, impressive though it is, also overpowers his rather Wolf-esque calves. They look like bowling pins turned upside down. Dorian's legs were smaller but much more proportioned below the knee. Ronnie had the biggest legs of all, but his calves were passable for a black bodybuilder. He also had better forearms and arms, so I don't really buy the argument that Ramy's the biggest freak ever. He's just the biggest on stage NOW, which would be cool for him if he could show up peeled like an orange rather than shiny like an avocado.

Yeah, I think he's maxed out in terms of mass, so other than sacrificing a decent amount of muscle in favor of detail and separations (which is a separate set of qualities from vascularity, which is purely genetic - which is why Jay rarely had any) I don't see any way for him ever to place higher than 5th.

I remember Alex Fedorov being super-hyped and disappointing in the mid-2000s because of a chest injury. He also didn't really bring it conditioning wise, either. His legs were quite impressive, though. Gave Ronnie a strong run for his money in the lower body dept.

(http://forums.steroid.com/attachments/pro-news/24644d1067659397-2003-russian-grand-prix-ruwb0034.jpg)

Fast-forward to his 2014 comeback and he got all his mass back, pretty impressive.

Ramy has never really been badly out of shape. Sure, could be a few pounds drier but it's hard to peak such a big and drug laden guy. Regarding Dennis James, everyone always said he never got it together onstage. No, you just can't compare gym pics with stage shots. Dennis looked great at many shows, he was simply bested by genetics, structure etc.

Well, nobody said "badly" out of shape. But this is the Olympia we're talking about, not some NPC show or a grand prix in Finland. He even admitted he looked way below his own standards and issued an apology. Why would he do that if he thought he looked fine? There's a lot of ways for a guy that big to come in crisper with better lines: Get a better nutritional plan or guru, cut down on the insulin and GH. Ronnie did it in 2005 after coming in too heavy the year before, and Jay did it in the late 2000s after coming too smooth and watery in 2008 and losing to Dexter. These guys aren't stuck with one body. They can change it if they need to.

Sure you can affect it to a degree, but these gurus are fumbling in the dark, hoping it comes together as planned at the right time. I'm sure Ronnie loaded with insulin like always in 2005 with some adjustments here and there. Then hit the loop diuretic after loading, like always. Thing is you can't just drop the gh and insulin altogether for one prep unless you think coming in 40lbs lighter might help.
They all feel they need every pound of muscle possible while hitting the conditioning as well... they can't come even 20lbs lighter than usual because then everyone will say they are "flat" even if they look great, all crisp and dry. You are often judged against previous performance, not just against the rest of the lineup.

Palumbo is 100% correct in his assessment of what makes a good interview. Bullshit questions are useless and Dave wanted to delve into  Heath's mind. That is what a talented journalist does; get inside the mind of the subject and put out a kick ass piece.

That's their mental disorder. Nobody is forcing them to keep coming bigger, least of all when that's a formula that hasn't worked since Ronnie retired (and it worked for him because of his conditioning, not due to his size, as there were guys almost as big as him like Ruhl and Gunther who didn't crack the top 5 that much).

Nobody will call them flat if they come shredded to the bone and have a small waist. You've got it backwards. The fans are sick and fucking tired of the pregnant alien stomachs we're seeing on stage. GH and insulin KILLED bodybuilding, they didn't make it better.

Blaming their gurus is the easy way out. If they don't like the services they get, they can train and feed themselves, like big boys.
