I heard Ronnie was natural up to and including the 1996 Mr. Olympia.  Go figure.

I guess we have similar sources.  ;D

PS - I love that in the pro bodybuilding world, using massive quantities of gear can be looked upon as "natural" if said bodybuilder in question tripled his dosages in the years to follow. :)

Another definition in the bodybuilding world...?:

It's natural as long as no GH or IGF-1 is being used.  Maybe insulin.

Other than that - the bodies are as natural as the ones entering a Magic The Gathering tournament.

Hmm...?  Name some bodybuilders whose quads you consider to be ideal.  Phil brought his quads up dramatically as far back as the 2008 Ironman, which he won.  Prior to that, I was thinking "Great physique - amazing aesthetics and a great look...but no one is going to win the Mr. Olympia contest, or even be a serious contender, with that back and those legs."

I felt this way in 2007, when Phil placed #5 at the Arnold Classic.

When I saw how dramatically he brought up his legs for his 2008 Ironman win...I was thinking "Whoa...this hype train is the real deal", and he was.

Could you post some photos of bodybuilders who possess the quads' shape you think is lacking in today's field?

Phil looks great there and PROVES that genetics is a huge part of this thing (BB)
Absolutely have no doubt he was natural in this pic - but has great structure. That’s ONE way a champ must have great genetics. The other is the “Genetic response to AAS” - anyone who doubts this has no business giving an opinion.
Example - you have a guy like ESF with total shit genetics and almost non-existent genetic response to anabolics. Those kind of retards slam grams and grams and end up looking like a natural dude who trains hard.

Not true. There are variations to the dose/response ratio. Some, say like a Levrone, are hyper responders; then you get someone like Dan Hill, who though above average, will never be world class. Then you have the vast majority of us, you see them everyday at the gym, that will never win a local show. In fact, just look at the guys at State level shows. All of them are juicing. Some barely look like they train.

Even if Levrone is a hyper responder and good genetics he’s definitely using “a lot” in terms of more than local gym rats, the term a lot is relative but many compounds are used to build his physique, same with flex wheeler whom many will argue is better than levrone. Remember Levrone is only 5’9 very skinny lean without all the assistance, same with wheeler, they are very tiny individuals when 100 percent natural

Too much wide stance squatting. It over develops the upper quads.
It all boils to forcing size at all costs.

Excellent points.

Just pointing out that for most, drugs, no matter how much, isn't going to take you to pro size as far as lean muscle mass. I've just known too many people over the decades that juice to the extreme (10grams/week) plus gh/slin that just didn't get there. They got very big and heavy but fat. And they were using the same gear as others who did much better on less.

That's the mystery. Why do some people just naturally run faster than others? Grow taller?
Get stronger? Get a bunch of men the same age and roughly the same size and put them on the exact same program and their results will vary.

For example, we all now know about the myostatin effect. A gene that limits muscle growth. Some have more than others and no amount of testosterone is going to compensate for that.

I agree, true

Genetics is the most important attribute, that’s a given, combine with powerful PED’s and you have an exceptional physique

Seems flex and Kevin were examples of tiny individuals when truly natural, skinny, but very lean, hard gainers but combined with anabolics they blew up. The downside to their physiques from observations is that they are more quicker to lose A LOT when coming down dosages or stopping as say compared to someone like Shawn Ray or Ronnie whom are built much different and more of that thicker, bigger boned  meso frame than the other two

Yes he certainly looked good especially in those pics
It’s hard to really judge him against the Best of the 90s & Early 00’s
His size & fullness would stack up well - Not so sure about his Dryness/
Hardness/ Condition would Look next to some of them.

If only - For a time machine.

i don't think it's hard to judge at all

he's probably the most complete bodybuilder ever with no weak poses or weak body parts, he even has calves and forearms

Did not say he'd beat them.  Said he would not be out of place on stage with them.  The best version of Phil is only beaten by the best versions of Ronnie and Dorian. 

I've been backstage before with Dorian.  Back in 96 about 4-5 months before the Olympia.  It is a site unlike any I've ever seen.

i don't think it's hard to judge at all

he's probably the most complete bodybuilder ever with no weak poses or weak body parts, he even has calves and forearms

his width isn't great and his abs aren't the prettiest, but there is no perfect body

E

Exactly

If Shawn Ray could stand next to prime Dorian ,I don't see why Phil couldn't , BTW Dorian with his horrible gut (and judges )ruined bodybuilding.

The only poses that Dorian and Ronnie would destroy Heath on.. would be the front and rear lat spread.

Heath could hold his own on the rest.

Did not say he'd beat them.  Said he would not be out of place on stage with them.  The best version of Phil is only beaten by the best versions of Ronnie and Dorian. 

I've been backstage before with Dorian.  Back in 96 about 4-5 months before the Olympia.  It is a site unlike any I've ever seen. 

Yup.  It’s hard to explain.   Dorian in person was other worldly.

No it can't if you're suggesting he could be competitive

Ronnie and Dorian are 20-30lbs larger and just as conditioned

He doesn't beat them in a single facet apart from an argument he has better arms than Dorian

Not even close

This is one of the worst comparison photos ever.  Heath would look like a tiny tit next to a prime Ronnie.  Ronnie was much taller and larger than Jay.  Jay was taller and larger than Phil.  The size ratio of the "Phil vs Ronnie photo" is off.  Prime Ronnie was probably 6 inches taller than Phildo.  Again, Phil would absolutely disappear next to Ronnie.

Not sure about best ever, but that version can stand on stage with prime Ronnie and prime Dorian any time.

the problem is phil didn't do anything that changed bodybuilding to leave his mark on the sport

dorian was the first to bring huge size and conditioning, any time you are the first to do something it always leaves a lasting impression

ronnie brought a level of size and overall freakiness we never saw before to leave his mark

phil wasn't the first to do anything, he was never the freakiest or most conditioned of all time, i would argue he is the most complete but many would argue that makes him boring

he is somewhere in between dorian and ronnie and because of that people won't remember him as well, he never had that "we've never seen anything like this before" moment

There’s no problem or issue for Me.
Phil Had a Great Physique at his Best no Doubt about That.

Is he Better or does he even Stack up to Ronnie or Dorian at their Best
Personally I don’t Really Care - It’s Irrelevant- He Was the best at that time.

Well, I'm not sure everyone judges a Mr. Olympia by how they would want to look. It's a freak show. Showing what a human being is capable of achieving. I would no way want to look like Health, Coleman, even Haney. I don't want everybody staring at me everywhere I go. Zane is about as big as I want to be because as at least he looks normal in clothes. But no way would I think he should beat Dorian on stage.

He was completly dominant from the back. +on conditioning.

So that is akmost half of the poses right there. Then along with the side tricep pose and the abs and thighs made it like 80% of the poses won.

He only lost in the most muscular and fdb.
