Do you guys think Phil would have turned pro without his standout arms and shoulders?

Matt, did you fart while this shot was taken?

The look on Phil's face leads me to believe you did....

Hard to say. It would be difficult for him to do the majority of the mandatory poses if he didnt have any arms.

That fitness chick doesnt have any arms, I dont think she's a pro though.

Of course not, but that's what makes Phil Heath freaky.

What a stupid question...

Take away the 2 best bodyparts of every single pro and start a thread for everyone of them

(would Coleman have turned pro without his back and biceps; would Cutler have turned pro without his quads and tris; would Priest have turned pro without his arms;............)

What the hell kinda question is that?
Matt - put the pipe down.

He does have world class Quads and a ripped mid section.....

that arm pic is sick as hell though!!!

Actually, his delts are a bit undersized, which is why his front relaxed and front lat spread poses fall short of the top guys.

His strengths are his arms (obv), quads and overall symmetry/conditioning.

CC's been screwed over maybe twice. Whenever he's in shape he's top 3, every time.

I don't think it's a stupid question at all since like I said that is what makes Phil, Phil. Lets not forget about his conditioning which has been spot on so far as a pro.

Actually, it's quite possible they still would be pro. That's my point. Compare Phil's weak points to other top NPC guys and they are comparable. Even Ronnie, Jay, and Lee's "weak points" are still stronger than the average top amateur competitor.

Isaac is just as biased and in bed with Phil as I am with the guys from bodybuilding.com. $:-\$

Do you smoke salvia extract?

Actually, better question: if Phil's arms were average to you think he would be pro?

Damn right!! Phil has one of the greatest builds around, but you should see the difference between Phil in a tracksuit and Victor in a tracksuit - Phil looks "ordinary" (as far as bodybuilders go), whereas Victor still looked liked a tank. Phil is still able to hide his muscles somewhat, relative to the mass monsters at least.

But I think Phil is actually 5'10. When I came to the Classic I was wearing thicker shoes because the weather was pretty frigid in Columbus and Phil was in sneakers (yes, I pay attention to these things.

). 5'10 and around 220 I think! Isaac is like 6'2 I think.

You can see what Heath looked like 1 week out from the Arnold Classic.

Not biased, it's a stupid question, in my opinion. How are you in bed with bodybuilding.com? Because you run an affiliate program with them?
