Hey Phil, what do you think of Boulder, CO? I'm interviewing up there this coming Monday - any good gyms I should be hitting up while I'm in town?

I don't think MBA's are as valuable as they used to be - you're obviously making the right decision to milk bodybuilding for all its worth while your career is on fire. How long do you plan on competing?

I agree, however, DU's grad program is one of the best and their alumni comes through when looking for a career. I am just keeping all options open as competing won't be there forever (for me that it is). I told my wife that I plan on competing through my late 30s and then figure out when my last show will be. Who knows because after seeing how Dexter improved at his age along with Tony Freeman, anything is possible. I just hope to continue improving and being a cool guy that people will respect when I am done.

More than the size aspect, I think your arms are probably the most separated on the pro circuit. Everyone else up there looks bloated when their arms are compared with yours.

You need to impart some of your wisdom for getting shredded with your buddy Jay!

honestly, i think Jay isn't done coming into shows shredded as he's been able to do so in the past. he'll definitely bring forth a spectacular physique as i have seen him already and it is still amazing for someone to be in shape while being over 290.

You are certainly more well-rounded that most other IFBB pro's competing today. Are they offering you a full ride for the MBA program at DU?

1. Phil, Dorian or Ronnie? and elaborate on your choice.

2. As one of the young guns, do you think that you have paid your dues enough to be Mr O?

3. Take a step back and explain why you should be Mr. O over Wolf or Kai?

4. Over the years your mid section has seen to grown is this something that concerns you and how are addressing it?

5. Can you still dunk a basketball?

What's he doing at the last minute that's not working like it used to? He's regressed the past couple of Olympias.

Is your name Phil Heath? Thanks, but he can speak for himself...I don't see him shying away from anything. He's a level-headed dude.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I do know some other pros that actually have more than just a physique, but haven't shared it whether it be on forums or magazines.

I am meeting with admissions next week before I leave for England to discuss how much help I would get. I don't expect that much as they know that I'm not a struggling college student anymore hehe. I just checked and its closing in on four digits per credit hour, $300 more than when I was there. There are ways such as taking one course per quarter, which I could handle, but that would take at least be 5 yrs since I'd need 70 credits.

what a douchebag of a response. He's not a celebrity so I'm not going to go gaga like i'm a schoolgirl seeing johnny depp. I think he seems like a cool guy but he's just like any other guy. Calm down dude.

As far as Boulder, I don't know any bro sorry. You can train at mine which isn't that far (WheatRidge). Its awesome and you'll have a great atmosphere.

I totally agree with you here; unfortunately, many fans don't have access to pros other than message boards and magazines, so they don't get a great perspective on what these guys are like. I've met Victor Martinez and will say he was a totally chill dude - and had many interesting things to say. He's a guy with many diverse life experiences. Do you know Vic well?

Phil Muscletime had you winning the Olympia with straight firsts , do you agree with their assessment? or did you think Dexter had you and or Jay? I think you were better than Jay but good luck on upcoming contests.

I know Vic, he's a great guy that I've enjoyed spending time at shows with.

I appreciate it the luck, Imma need it for sure because none of these guys are taking this show lightly. as far as their assessment, my job is to do my best and that is what i did. I did have myself top 3, but that's all irrelevant as this year more guys will be ready for the Olympia than before.

If you improve just a little bit compared with last year, you will win the 2009 Olympia. How in the hell do you keep making these improvements? Most guys say they are improving, but you can never actually see it when they get onstage.

I made a promise with Hany to not give up the plans to the death star haha I couldn't help myself to make a star wars comment. I think it is because we derive a gameplan that is realistic and I execute it which makes his job easier to make adjustments. the goal is to capitalize on the time that i've taken in between shows so that you all can actually see the difference. also, since i've only been training for 6 yrs, my gains are steady just like anyone else that would begin bodybuilding. i've gotta go now, as i'm gonna play with my kid.

great talking with you guys and come holla at me on flexonline.com/forums ok and we can continue this!
