2012 Olympia - Phil Heath Pic from 08-22-12 - Undefeatable?

[Ron]

Whoa - is there anyone going to stop Phil Heath from winning the Sandow this year at the 2012 Mr. Olympia?  This guy looks to be ready to compete next week, let alone 4-5 weeks from now.

This pictures is from last night's photoshoot for Muscletech.

No one , if he is in shape number 2 here we go.

[bradistani]

it's his to lose

[MB]

No one will beat Phil, making this a very boring Olympia unless you're excited about the battle for 2nd place.  

[JOHN MATRIX]

Holy fucking shit

[njflex]

awesome that's all,,

[Ron]

So the big question of the Olympia will be - who is going to place in the number 2 spot....

[SF1900]

Philsulina looking as wide as an all natural competitor 

But in all seriousness, his arms are sick. I am sure I can't say the same for his chest.

I gotta go against conventional wisdom. I think the Olympias where there is a clear winner are actually better. The sport seems to thrive on "domination" victories. Whenever there is drama about who should win, everyone complains for YEARS about it. (decades)

Branch

[OTHstrong]

Two Mr. Olympias
Three Runner ups
Four Arnold Winners

Anything can happen, but odds are in Heath's favor big time

[Wiggs]

[Parker]

Cedric for 2nd place....

from his fb

[Wiggs]

Cedric for 2nd place....

Not this year.

[JasonH]

Kai Greene will likely be second - I'd like to see him win it but I've got a feeling that Phil will just be too strong this year.

If they give second to Branch it'll be an absolute travesty. Dennis Wolf third.

[Mitch]

Cedric for 2nd place....

Yup. It's about time.

[Frank Clairmonte]

cedric is not competing this year

whaT a waste of potential, he has body for bodybuildíng
 but not mind.

sad

[cephissus]

i think phil will look exactly the same for the next 3-5 years.

for that matter, i think bodybuilders will probably look largely the same on the whole until there is a significant new drugs/technology development.  the sport started in the late 50s, and everyone looked pretty much the same until the mid-late 80s, at which point gh/insulin bumped the game up to a new level.  i think we've seen that phase out to its limit, and until something new comes along, interest in bodybuilding will fall even past the already-pathetic levels it has now hovered at since the early 2000s.

i'm definitely no expert, it's just how things appear to me at this point.

Phil will consistently get bigger...I think Cedric is where the sport will go...and Rhoden, Beyeke, Big Ben. Curry will be an also ran---like Melvin Anthony before (not nailing his condition)
