are you smokin some crack..20-30 of muscle...he only needs to add 10-15lbs of muscle..he will blow his waist up if he adds 20-30lbs on that frame

20 to 30...  He's well behind Jay.  Didn't you see the pictures in the Magazine of them workin out together?

[GoneAway]

Phil looks great. He'll quality for the Olympia easily, but he won't break top 5 there this year. He needs a better chest and back. Give him a few years to get bigger and he'll be in the top 5 if all stays the same.

Lift, is there a release date?

Looking like the end of this month, we're waiting on some footage from the Colorado Pro to integrate.

The fans will decide which DVD cover goes to production - look for it this weekend.

No. Not sure who did Ronnie's DVD.

as with ray and a 93 wheeler has a bigger than he really is type physique,at 215 his muscle pop's and is full,has great conditioning and at least he has leg's so that is not a big priority like some pro's playing catchup on leg's is tougher,than refining say some more chest .he will be a player in the grand scheme,give credit when credit is due.

Heath's arms are already pretty loaded. I don't see where he needs to bring them up. If anything, maybe his chest. But he's got a nice flow to everything now. As for as putting on 20-30 lbs. I thought Melvin would throw it away if he went for more muscle and he did and he looks better than ever.

Actually if you look at Melvin from this past Mr. O, you can see his waist line is bigger than say......before he started working with "The Chad". On the plus side is that Chad brought him in better condition and bigger, I guess you have to sacrifice something.

[Shawn Ray]

Phil is on time for where he is at his age and where he is trying to be in the future.
The Future is not now, he knows it and will pace himself accordingly.
He is trying to improve slowly, let his muscle maturity run it's course by doing so, in 3 to 4 years he will be sitting pretty provided he does not get caught up with the almighty Scale, which has ruined it's share of potential great athletes.
Size is not going to be his problem down the road, Balance will become more important when you get right down to it.
He needs to focus on his weaknesses, sans the extra mass and the rest will take care of it's self.
Circa 1993 Flex Wheeler at the ASC never looked better and he was 216-218lbs at 5'10. His conditioning was sick and separation was rivaled by none!
This will be Heath's Ace in the Hole, as the majority of Pro's on the circuit today, sacrifice Conditioning for Mass.
This will separate him from the pack "Conditioning" and the cream will rise to the top.
Phil is handling his business at a young age being compared to guys with 5 to 10 yrs of more training is not really fair but he is ahead of most of them at this point of his career with time on his side.
ASC Top 5 Finalist, Mr. O qualification and possible top 6 finish in 07'.
Peace,
S. Ray

problem is that his arms kind of overshadow everything else on him right now, awesome bb'er though.

lets see what he does against the big boys..no way his perfect record stays intact

he can beat guys like Alves, JOJ, even some of the best second tier guys like DJ and Markus, but against Jay, Ronnie, Dex, Gustavo, Victor, Gunter we'll just have to see.

Gustavo is second tier me...you think Heath can beat Rule if Markus comes in 100%?

[The Squadfather]

Gustavo is second tier me...you think Heath can beat Rule if Markus comes in 100%?

Gustavo has proven that he's a first tier guy IMO, and i'm not saying that he SHOULD beat Markus but i'm saying that the judges will be blinded by Phil's "shape" over Ruhl's mind blowing size and condition.

First off, props to Big_Wiggs for a well written and clearly thought out thread. It's obvious you put a lot of work into it.

I'm very impressed by Phil Heath. Despite his narrow clavicles and lighter weight, his muscles expand tremendously when he poses and his true talent shines through. In the side tricep pose, for instance, his arm seems impossibly thick, as do his hamstrings. It's wondrous how he can look like a narrow shouldered boy standing in the front relaxed pose and yet seem mound of muscle upon muscle in his hands together all muscular pose.

As for his future, he needs about 10-15 pounds of quality muscle, especially on his back. There's really no rush to do so because he is VERY competitive as he is (or was many months ago). It will be exciting to see how much he has improved since the NY Pro come March 3rd at the Arnold Classic.

[Ron]

I agree with Shawn - Phil needs to pace himself, and decide strategically what is the best career moves for him. There is so much pressure on Phil for this year, everyone expects him to be the best, to become an overnight sensation now that he is competing in the his major pro bodybuilding show with some of the top ten in the world.

For some, placing in the top 6 of the Arnold Classic is great. For Phil Health, the top three is quite easily attainable. But to win the Arnold Classic... well... he has to go through Victor Martinez and Dexter Jackson, and they have a lot of say about this rookie sensation if he thinks he will win the Arnold.

However, I have to say that Phil is quite humble, friendly and realistic in his quest for rankings at the Arnold. Phil has learned is PR business well from his days as a basketball player.
