Phil Heath 1-wk before Arnold video

[SWOLETRAIN]

i look up to phil as a pro for having a physique that i really admire. Its pleasing to the eye. Nice lines and taper. Not a 300lbs beast looking like hes in his 3rd trimester. I think with time he will be great.Physiques like phils are what bbing is all about. He makes the younger guys wanna get in the gym and lift. That whole 260lbs+ look just wont look right on him.

if that means having creeps around like lift studios trying to feel up on your and take pictures then hell no


I wonder how much pussy he gets

[omg]

anyone who thinks that Phil didn't deserve his place at the Arnold classic is a moron. Everyone knows Phil is only a baby and has only been training for 4 years or so. Give him another 4 and watch out.

hey phill tell us, did you step into a gym 4years ago??? i doubt so... i think u started lifting seriously 4 years ago...but had years of fooling around in the gym before that

[bigkubby]

phils physique is fucken sick all you haters can "chupa mi fiero"

[Mat]

Phil will definately be a top contender for shows to come in the future. I'm sure he will only get bigger and maintain his shape and mid section as he learns more about his body after each comp. Maybe one day bodybuilders like Phil will get the higher placings in future shows over the mass monsters.

[210 and growing]

i thought i beat some of these guys? c'mon now, this makes no sense.

No offence phil, wasnt meant to be a flame, i personally prefer your physique over many of them mentioned, namely badell, warren, ruhl, taylor and maybe 1 or 2 others. I think to be competitive at the top though you need to get close to martinez's size. If you can do that, without sacrifycing your shape too much, i think you have a chance at the very very top and of winning the big 1. Im just talking about what the judges seem to be looking for with this list. You have time on your size, dont rush it.

I can't stand hearing that story..never mind the fact that he was a personal training and probably dabbling with prohormones.

and now they make it seems like he only drinks milk and honey and rolls out of bed on competition day and wins.

we still love you gift...

[KevinP85]

He has great arms and shoulders and that is it.  He need back chest and legs.  Branch warren gustavo badell Marcus Ruhl way better IMO

Markus Ruhl does not look better then Phil neither does any of the ones you've mentioned.

[KevinP85]

He might be a great guy and will prolly do well in the future but I think he is 40-50 pounds behind alot of the poeple in the line up

Are you kidding me 40-50 pounds??? That's whats wrong with bb. He's what, around 225-235 max. If he puts 40-50 Ibs that would be completely ruin his physique.

[ether]

Heath reminds me a LOT of Flex wheeler.

Don't think anyone in the game today has arms that pop like Flex's did like Heath.

Heath, much like flex or arnold, doesn't look that impressive just standing there, but when they hit a pose its' like their muscles explode.

In that video, his arms look decent when relaxed but when he flexes, you can tell why he has the best arms right now.

Phil competes at around 215 at the moment according to most reports. He needs to be atleast 240 to be competitive with martinez cutler etc in my opinion

Total nonsense.... He is fine as he is. Victor Martinez winning the ASC at 10 percent bodyfat was absurd. Phil was atleast 2nd place and id put him in first for being more conditioned then Dexter. He hasn't "payed his dues" yet. I love the excuses judges make for not rightfully placing people.

[War-Horse]

I do hope that the judging standards reward the guys like martinez and heath for awhile.   This is why the IFBB should have a 210lb and under/ over class.

Then they would see who brings more money to the market when the mag covers hit the shelves......the 210lb class would make them alot more money in sales.

Most guys would rather have a zane type body for life. imo.

Martinez looked awful compared to Phil.

[MAXX]

among the best arms today. definately the best triceps.

[War-Horse]

Martinez looked awful compared to Phil.

Yeah, it can vary show to show.   Phil can nail his conditioning better than martinez, but martinez has the classic X-frame.   So it can be close.  Ive met phil and vic so i hope for either one......good guys.

As I've stated before many times, I was playing hoops all my life until after I was 22 and was also done playing. I then began lifting later that year. Its not like I never lifted a weight, but you must understand that we ran so much that weights weren't that big of a priority, so we didn't do them as much as other athletes. Sorry to break the news to ya, but I wasn't training like you think I was.

Now your just being silly, c'mon bro. 

I was never a personal trainer so that's a mistake on your assessment and how would you know what I did huh? So when you say, "never mind the fact..." you make no sense because you have no facts...sorry bro. I understand that you are a natural guy and that's awesome, but please know that I've always been an athlete and its been proven in more than one sport. You've gotta realize this or you're gonna continue hating on others which really serves no purpose when no one has said anything about you right? I've once again spent too much time here, but I do appreciate some of the comments as they are well taken and rest easy and know that I'm not ruining my physique so we can now put that theory to rest.

I cant say that I agree with ya WH... victors gut is as big as the rest.

Regardless, you have a great physique, bro.

Few years back when Lift studios bragged about you on here, I was skeptical.. Now I see what he was saying..

[Camel Jockey]

I wonder how much pussy he gets

lift studios is like Jeffrey from Fresh Prince of Belair! And Phil is like Will Smith!

Phil thanks for taking the time to respond and I hope you don't feel you are being belittled by comments on your current build. I have alot of respect for you and I hope my comments didn't seem rude.   I think you are going to be one of the greats in a few years but I just don't feel you are there yet.
