Phil Heath not doing the 2009 Arnold Classic

[Rich2]

iiiiiinteresting.

So its even easier for Victor to come in and win it, reestablishing his prominence, thus giving us an Olympia with Jackson, Martinez, Heath, and Wolf as favorites.  Its gonna be a good mixup at the O.

[Pollux]

Beating Victor Martinez would be extremely difficult for Phil. 

LOL! Hang on. Let me wipe the tears away from laughing so hard! 

[marcus]

Hopefully he's taking time off to bring up everything but his arms.

[hipolito mejia]

It was on ESPN yesterday, hopefully  they'll re-run it every hour on sportcenter today.


It will be on the reporters sunday discussing Heath and the Arnold should be fun !!!

REALLY?  what is marv albert saying?

[Royalty]

His chances of winning the O are about none unless he finds a way to grow his clavicle, he'll never win.

Dexter isnt exactly the widest guy ever, and he won the Olympia. I feel Heath can absolutely beat Dexter soon

Phil Heath! Yeeeees! 

[Fatpanda]

no.

dex is far wider than heath - and no matter how much muscle heath grows, he can't change his skeletal structure.

i've said this before this kid is far far too arrogant for his own good - if you take away his arms he'd be back competing in the npc.

to think he has a realistic chance of the mr o  so soon into his career

its more likely he heard ronnie may enter the arnold, and realised just how embarrasing it would be when the judge calls for a rear lat spread, and the audience all start laughing at him.

he is dreaming if he really thinks he can compete with dex, or wolf.

best post this morning.  thank you.

btw..he is good, but for him to win now flex wheeler should get an honorary O title. 

[Van_Bilderass]

He wont bring anything up. His proportions will NEVER change. Just like they wont ever change for any other pro either, unless they shoot oil.

[mesmorph78]

i kinda agree.. here...

Heath beat Wolf at the Olympia, so its not a dream.

Dexter barely beat Heath at the Arnold and Olympia in my opionion

[brudge]

Agreed. He already beat Wolf at the O so how is it a dream? Ya wolf was off, but he still beat him.
You all can carve Heath all you want, but he will be a serious contender at the O next year...Hell he was this year already.  Third place for a first time guy ain't bad in my books.

[mesmorph78]

true but in my opinion a great bber is not just one bodypart
..
take a way his tris what else is impressive..
...?? be real in his most muscular shot he has zero chest
his arms totally dominarte
symetry???
while its everone dream to have massive massive arms in my eyes...
everything should be massive...
heath is all arms
that alone in my opinion shouldnt win u a mr o
say what u want about jay he was wiioiide
has guns chest delts legs...
... does heath have a
super chest no
super delts no
super back no
super legs no
super abs no
super arms yes

[Fatpanda]

i disagree, anyone who judges unbiasedly would state without question that dex is far far more complete than heath.

front to back, left to right top to bottom.

the only thing heath has on dex is arms and calves - and only just as dex has two of the best arms in the pro circut. heath i admit does have great arms, but it throws the rest of his symetry off, dex has a flowing physique, with everything in proportion.

i would also admit dexters conditioning was not as good at the mr o as it has been in the past, and heath nailed it.

despite this dexter beats heath in every pose.

Same can be said for Lee Priest and Flex Wheeler, just to name a couple.

exactly, thats why they havn't won.

dex did deserve a mr o. ronnie did deserve a mr o.dorian dis deserve a mr o in 93. i believe shawn deserved a mr o, and flex back in 92-93 - but dorian was around. nasser should also have had a mr o, maybe even 3

I'm surprised Jay doesn't try to do this show, as it would be a nice paycheck if he won.

no flex wasnt just all arms
he was more ballanced better delts chest
his build was near perfect..
and he had a super narrow waiste...
phil is phenominal to a degree
but not in wheeelers class... not even close...
if i was to emulate a bber
i would want to look like flex in his heyday... balanced
never has such thoughts about phil...
ever i think he is complteley out of whack
big arms are great but u need to have big everything
imo

[alnassak]

Guys I see you all the time talking about Phil’s arms are too big for his other body parts, which is totally wrong..!!

Phil’s arms are 21 something inches but his deep separations what make them look bigger
On the other hand, Phil has 31 something legs and 19.5 inches calves.

He still got massive chest and shoulders and 29 inches waist.
