Wtf? Insane genetics. This is after his basketball career I'm college.
-
Insane genetics and wider than Heath. ;)
-
Almost as good as Nick Walkers starting point
-
He already lift by then. Still, impressive.
-
Must be hard to start off life being sideways like that.
Wonder how he managed.
-
Phil as a college basketball playing teenager had more size and definition than some physique competitors. Absolutely insane.

Dude could win the Charlotte Cup Masters Class C.

This is probably the best base of a guy starting out before ever taking bodybuilding seriously. It makes so much more sense why he advanced so fast. He was made for this. He's called the Gift for a reason. Look at his forearms already. Lol

I'm 100% sure I saw him at a gym in Aurora walking to the posing room after he left DU. Definitely juicing in that photo. I walked past JerryMe but only found out who he was when he was beefing with the old bald guy in a photo with a cat.
-
starting point for what? growth hormone and insulin?

He really had to straighten his ass up man… 😆 😂

Phil is a man of the people. So humble and his charisma is off the charts

In his free time he operates drones and drives bentleys below the speed limit, somebody we can all relate to

Arms and forearms were always his strong point. However, he disappears next to other people.

He had a pretty strong nose game too
(I'm really going through the archives tonight!)

Kai narrowly beat him in the front double nostril pose.

Kai was a moron. He could have won the olympia if he carried on as Phil's palumboism got out of control.
Wasted his career.

Agreed. His wank doesn’t appear to have much wang. No homo.

You wouldn’t want to leave any valuables lying about in Kai’s vicinity.
Those nostrils would hoover anything within a foot or two.

Nostrils or not, I wouldn't want the chocoman near any valuables.

Well, certainly there’s that, too, yes.

Concerning Heath, already his celebrity within the muscle world is dimming.
Times now are very different.
Shit moves at light speed. The attention span of young people is not much.
You were Mr. O 10 years ago? Few even remember.

There's an interesting story about Phil Heath and Claude Groulx. Phil sez:
I started working out a couple of guys at my gym, and one of them was competing at the 2002 Colorado State contest. I went to watch him and I was hooked. Looking up at the guys competing, and knowing what I looked like with barely any training, I realized that I could do very well. Claude Groulx (note: now retired IFBB Pro from Canada who won the Masters Mr. Olympia) was the guest poser, and in the lobby some kids saw me in my sleeveless basketball jersey and asked me to compare biceps with Claude. I didn’t want to, but it turned out my arms were as big as his, even though I weighed only 185 pounds. Claude told me that I had loads of potential. So on October 8, 2002, I had my official ‘before’ pictures taken. That was the day I decided to become a bodybuilder.
Groulx was not exactly known for his arms, so it's possibly true.

Oct 8, 2022. That's the pic attached to the original post.

He had the roundness

The narrowness was less pronounced when he was smaller.

I've heard that before.

Good for a natty.

textbook example of why blowing out a small frame with truck loads of drugs is not the best of ideas

let me captions the facial expressions
Mike: my sponsors said I should be seen in public giving positive attention to the mentally disabled for brownie points. Im doing the work. Grind is all I do for the dollars.
Phil: I CAN COUNT TO POTATO!!!!
-

That’s cause he has a middle weight torso/chest, but heavy weight arms and shoulders when he got bigger
Flex wheeler was kind of like that, you can tell they were very small guys to start with, Levrone too. Structure, joints
-
In any picture where he looks remotely good, he is angling away from the camera to various degrees. This visually offsets his narrowness as in an optical illusion (out angling his narrowness)
Once you see this illusion for what it is, you realize that Phil was always worthless shit even in those magical young pics you fools are raving about

Phil Heath is a worthless shit? You set for life like he is? You sound jealous and unhappy. Maybe your wife enjoyed a bit of Italian salami.

phil's amateur pics were posted here back in 2005
it was one of the few times a young unknown bodybuilder had his pics posted here and everybody said he had massive potential, back then every flaw was nitpicked as if they looked like garbage but phil was different
greatness is normally obvious immediately especially in bodybuilding
you look at the best guys they were top guys immediately, top 2 - 3 at the olympia in their first showing or at least top 10
ronnie might be the exception but he still qualified for the olympia every year of his early career, i don't think any guy became a contender when they struggled to get a pro card or qualify for the olympia

Remember Mo Elbowmacaroni? He was the one that competed against Phil in the light heavyweight nationals. He was a big fan of Levrone, and said he was going to take out Phil with ease. Well, the rest was history, Mo pretty much disappeared after that show

True, I would say most people that started following bodybuilding lately have no idea who Phil is.
