Phil Heath has much more of a "freaky" thing going on than Kai, when I looked at the pictures in this thread I cleared my mind and tried to see them from a fresh perspective- and when I did, my FIRST reaction was "WOW, PHIL FUCKING HEATH LOOKS AMAZING!" But after some analysis, it's pretty clear Kai has much better balance and an overall more complete physique.
In simpler terms- to the average fan, Phil Heath should be Mr. Olympia,, but from a more advanced set of eyes, Kai is a clear winner. CLEAR winner.
Kai needs to be off like last year for Phil to beat him, IMO.
Now I say this with one caveat- Phil Heath has had time to improve. He has also proven that he can make AMAZING gains in a very short period of time. So, the Kai of 2011 New York Pro beats the Phil Heath of the 2010 Olympia, of that much I am sure. How does each 2011 self compare, we shall see...
I will likely make this years Olympia, just to see this. I hope I am not disappointed...
