He looks to be making great improvements. Quads and chest are always gonna be trouble areas. The insertion gods just weren't that friendly. However back and calves are getting better, arms look insane as always. A shame he's not doing the Olympia this year.
phil looks much better off season, he's too skinny in this picture, need to work on his shoulders real bad
He coulda been 3rd at the Arnold and no one would have blinked. It was that close, and it looks like he's taking on those trouble areas.Guys like Branch, Toney, Dexter, even Vic ( #3 thru 10 at the Olympia level)... they're NOT going to change/improve much between the Arnold and the Olympia. They've competed for a decade or more and have essentially neared their physical limitations. Phil isn't going to peak for 5 years. He CAN make a jump over 2-3 of the same guys from the Arnold, at the Olympia, by showing the judges he's better than last time, while everyone else has the same thing they brought to the table last time.
I don't think 240 is hyping me up, it is just that he realizes how far I've come along in such a short time period that's all. Also, genetically superior means what because there are many many variables involved that aren't adding up ok, especially since Victor and Melvin along with every pro has evolved over their many years of training. I haven't even come close to those years in the gym, so I'm kind of playing in a game of catch-me-if-you-can, which for most I have, but not all yet. I also think Victor, Melvin along with every pro has their strengths and weakenesses which makes them spectacular (some more than others) however we are so very different at the same time. When I competed against Victor it was well apparent that he has that OMG appearance, which is what I think we all want on stage.
hahahaha, some of the clowns in this thread make me laugh, Phil Heath looks absolutely UNREAL all the way around in every bodypart and all you guys do is nitpick on what's supposedly "wrong" with him, unbelievable.
dave you use to be one of the first to put people and pros down. you even grilled milos.because you've been exposed as mediocre at best you have become more humble. but i mean, you use to do the same shit only worse.
the only thing i "grilled" Milos on was his arms and attitude and i stand by my comments on his arms,
...and his workout routines.....busted with your hand in the chip bag!
Yea Phil, you dont look big next to me
http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/philheaththegiftdvd.htmlCheck out these arms:And this is a guy weighing 222 at 5'9-5'10? Crazy arms.Probably 250s.
Matt, do you work out?
Ok Shawn you're right. Wanna race because I've seen your video and I think I can beat you.
If it's a race to a buffet or a dollar on the floor, my money's on Shawn!
that all depends on how you define working out.in the broad sense of things the answer is yes, but if you actually mean stepping into a gym and lifting weights then it is a big NO
