Please stop comparing Heath to the retired Ronnie as far as arms and body parts. I'm sure phil will be a monster at 35 at the rate his juicing up but he still dont have the structure.

Cause Phil cant...

the Heath comparisons to Ronnie are ridiculous, it's funny how quickly people forget just how incredible Ronnie was

Heath will never compare to Ronnie

one of the reasons ronnie got so big was because of his relative "slow" growth. also, in the end, ronnie was about 6 feet tall with longs limbs and wide shoulders and a big chest. his overall structural presence gives him an advantage heath never will have.

I'm not sure why people compare the two anyway - two completely different types of physique, different heights, weights, everything.

In terms of height and physique Heath would be closer to Flex and Levrone, in fact, he looks like a Flex/Levrone hybrid.

again...ronnie had a FT career which most likely played into his slow move through the ranks. what happens if Ronnie comes out of college, works at a gym FT and has access to an established pro? What ronnie looks like at 29-30 where phil is now? Ronnie road is so different from the other top 10 guys it's not real.

He doesn't have to. His 8 Mr O titles speak for themselves and so do his vids and his strength. What every getbigger max's out with, ronnie uses as a wrist curl. Case closed.

Heath is so narrow it makes his arms appear massive, when in reality they are 20 inches

i agree, it is silly how people even put these two in the same hemisphere.............. ...thats cause many on here are 17 and 18 year old boys, who have never seen ronnie in person.................. ....and only in person could you truely appreciate how he made other professional bodybuilders look like local NPC competitors.

it was not even fair, ronnie was as wide as two phil heaths

I guarantee Heath's arms are much larger than 20 inches; he has the best arms of any current competitor in my opinion. Overall, his physique resembles Levrone more than anyone.

Does he every train at Metroflex anymore?

i know you have to be trying to be sarcastic!!! Did you see the pix from the Dex. Jackson Classic? Plus this:
http://www.flexonline.com/phil_heath_video/news/857 Even though he is about 10+ weeks from the Mr. O, those arms are seriously over 20 inches.

Hey that happens to be the size genetically talented people can achieve naturally.

Get real guys comparing Ronnie in his prime to the best of Phil is a joke. Big Ron destroys him in every aspect except calves. Phil doesn't have the frame to get to the status that Ronnie achieved. You guys really need to be comparing Phil to guys like Ray, Kevin and Flex.

Correct. Actually more Levrone and Flex.

Phil doesn't have the frame to get to the status that Ronnie achieved.

When Ronnie competed in the 2000 Mr Olympia at 260 something, every one said there was no way he could possibly put on any more muscle on his frame, but we all know what happened.

Phil seems a lot like Shawn Ray in his approach to bodybuilding (training very hard, but not super heavy), while having Ronnie-esque genetics for being freaky and Wheeler-esque shape / roundness. Phil could become even freakier than Ronnie in a few years if he progresses at the rate he's doing now. And he seems to know what he's doing.
