Phil Heath looked great three days out and was extremely impressive. Even on stage, most of us agreed that he has the best symmetry and excellent conditioning of the group. However, when you see the pictures, Phil looked smaller than the other competitors and perhaps not as muscular. Although many people would love to have his physique, and he looked great, some of the judges said he needed perhaps a few more pounds on him and he will have his day at the Arnold.
As Ronnie Coleman predicted before the show, Phil's time in not now to make the top three, but it will be soon. Remember, Phil is young, under 30, and many of the stars who are at the top are over 33, when the muscle mature and are thicker.
