LOL. Usually a picture like this is accompanied by an extortion demand stipulating release unless complied with. .

After his outstanding shape in the terrific lighting at the Ironman, Phil Heath looked unbeatable.

Today, he looked very beatable in a few of the poses, by more guys than just Dexter.  He's a top ten Olympian, but I don't think people will be spekaing of him as they have ("He's gonna win the O this year", etc).

Will he do a few spring shows now and rack up checks and exposure?
Will he hold off on any more shows and look to gain muscle on torso, waiting to compete at the O?
Will he skip the Olympia AGAIN and "focus on making improvements"?

He looks incredible, but he skipped the Olympia last year so he could move up at the Arnold from 5th to second.  Nice thought, but he could have easily been top 10 or even 6 at the O last year, and his 2008 placing won't be that much better.  He's not going to beat Dex, Vic (if he does it), Jay, or Dennis Wolf.
Yes, he will do the O. I agree with you, he will not place ahead of jay, Victor (as you say, if he does it), dexter or wolf. I think tha he'll do the O, but take the whole year off next time, for the 09 O.
BTW, Greene was good wasn't he. We predicted that. He has to be careful though, as i wouldn't add more mass if i were him, just concentrate even more on his conditioning and balance. Good showing though.

Who predicted:
1) dex
2) phil
3) greene

???
Me. I am a genius, there is no doubt.

The two guys who can still make significant improvements and are already top 6 are Wolf and Heath. This year I see the O going down as 1. Cutler, 2. Wolf, 3. Dex, 4. Heath.

However if Heath takes all year after the O to improve again, he'll push for the top spot in 09.

Heath has to do the Olympia, if he skips it again that would be a big mistake in his career IMO.
