Phil Heath - I will not be at the 2011 Flex Pro or Arnold Classic

[TK]

BREAKING NEWS FROM PHIL HEATH: "Hello all! After long thought and consulting with family and friends, I have decided NOT to compete at the '11 Arnold Classic. This was a very difficult decision to make as I had a great '10 season. I want to thank my beautiful wife Jennie for her on-going support along with my sponsors Team MuscleTech and Weider/AMI.

 Fuck him.

 Nothing interesting or cool about him.

 Buh bye.....

Yeah, the #2 ranked in the world saying he is not going to compete at the 2011 Arnold Classic, and forego possibly $100,000 or more because he wants to dethrone Jay Cutler and win the Mr. Olympia.   That is actually big news - a move that just might make him king of the bodybuilding world.

And it also makes a lot of other pro bodybuilders happy, as they get to move up in the rankings and prize money.

Agreed the guys in the 70's were a lot cooler. Phil should do the Arnold seems when guys only compete once a year they don't dial in right at the olympia

 I agree that it's big news. For sure.

 I am just not a fan of him at all. And i'm not really disappointed to see him gone. Just my opinion.

He'll make all that money back at all the Schmoes "Eye's Wide Shut" parties

[ThaRealist]

Why is this even surprising??

[no one]

i dont get passing up a possible 100k payday. bad move. its not like the AC and the olympia are 6 weeks apart.

[TacoBell]

So Brett Favre's consecutive game streak ends at 297 AND Phil Heath will only strip down once in 2011 instead of twice 
The times they are a changing.

Evan will be top 6, possibly top 3..

Phil should have competed. He more than likely would have won, getting a fat check and an Arnold title.
He's not going to beat the fridge with the judging the way it is and his physique is at the point now where there's really not a ton of improvement to be made. He's pretty close to maxed out.
He should grab the cash and titles while he can. Anything can happen, just ask Victor.

I don't think Phil is maxes out. He is young and just started. Even though he is likely already using huge amounts of all the drugs possible, he can still make improvements every year and retain his conditioning so long as he keeps up the drugs, the food, and slowly keeps getting stronger. He hasn't been lifting crazy weights yet, he's going pretty heavy but he can add 90 lbs to all his major lifts I'm sure and doing so will make him even more freaky. I think phils got the potential to rival the physique Ronnie had, he doesn't have the same bone structure but it took Ronnie almost two decades to get to his prime, phils only been doing this for like 7 years.

There was a time when Ronnie didn't have any great body parts.

[DK II]

There was a time when Ronnie didn't have any great body parts.

Yes, in the end of his career.

[mesmorph78]

Ronnie always had good body parts
you never saw Coleman hitting a most muscular Nd his arms are bigger than his pecs ....arms chest shoulders back all huge .. To be fair phil just has huge arms u can see it's in his genetic make up his chest will never catch his arms ...
No contest IMO

ronnies arms never overpowered his torso. That doesn't mean that his torso was always exceptional. Up until 97 Ronnie didn't have enough mass on his torso, or anywhere else for that matter, to compete with the big dogs. Phil just getting started. Give him 5 more years and watch his torso come up. His arms might still overpower it but in that case it'll just be some unseen freakyness in the arms with a torso comparable to Ronnie. I mean, hypothetically speaking. Ronnie is the best ever, no doubt. But I see the potential in Phil... I mean, he keeps adding about 5-10 lbs every year it seems, and is always shredded.

[Captain Equipoise]

Too narrow, plus his arms are getting so ridiculously big he's soon gonna face the same problems that plagued lee priest where his arms overpower everything else.
