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

[musclecenter]

i predict Heath Cutler will be between 5th to 7th place

fixed

[The_Punisher]

Cedric for 2nd place....

I would love cedric to come in Olympia form and snatch that second place

[Figo]

Needs more arms

[Parker]

Needs more arms

Back before he won the Mr. O, he said that he would like to see how big he could get them....but, I think his priorities have shifted.

[MORTALCOIL]

They might as well give him his 2nd Sandow now. Kai could easily beat him if he showed up in condition, with his gut in check and fair judging. Three things that belong in science-fiction books. If Dennis doesn't totally fuck it up, he could well be 2nd as a way to make white people feel acknowledged, Branch having joined the goblin specie a long time ago.

I also want to see how big they can get.

Unbelievable arm development(and smart use of seo)

He shouldn't bring them up more. He won not only because Jay fucked up last year but because other than his conditioning, he managed to pack as much mass as possible on his narrow frame, specially his delts which did indeed change the perception of his physique. More mass on his arms means delts looking smaller and he will look narrow again. Remember the old "it's an illusion" thing. Still works.

[Ronnie Rep]

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

Kai second Wolf third!

[Bevo]

Why is everyone saying Kai for 2nd?  ::)Has he even placed runner up ever?? I don't like branchs physique but he will beat him a long with wolf. To much hype with Kai and how long has it been going on? Guy never delivers come olympia time

Victor should have been mr Olympia a long time ago

[falco]

Cedric needs a bigger gut to get placings.

[SquatsRule]

They will give Branch 2nd, but it should be wolf or kai.

[kyomu]

I hope Kai beats this narrow Mr.O. But, they never let him win.

Cause Kai's conditioning sucks aside from a few good showings where he nailed it guy tries to play the size game too much, gets to over 300 Ibs and can't dial it in. His frame is too small to carry the weight ronnie can.

Yes for sure, does make his chest look smaller, and will throw physique off balance

Not really serious. Just mind boggling that someone could possibly have arms, what 23" at 5'9" ?

[mesmorph78]

if he has showed a shot of his quad or abs... would everyone be already announcing him the winner
he is standing by himself doing ropressdowns, in a sleeveless top

is roelly mr o here too
 
bbers lifters, etc and their Arm affinity (fetish)

or the record i think phil will win simply because he has the best shape out there now round muscle.. good condition
kai is bigger but phil has better genetic shape

[Nails]

I'll be happy with the judges results as long as  Branch Warren places behind Jay Cutler

No homo

[Ronnie Rep]

No homo

Arms have always been the show muscles!

[bigmikecox]

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.

QFT!!!

Kai is a lock for 2nd and Branch will be 3rd. Wolfe has the pyhsyie to beat Branch, but not the political backing! It will be interesting to see who will fill out the other 2 spots in the top 6. Dexter CAN, but he hasnt been peaking lately. If Pak-Man had a back, he would beat Branch and Wolfe

Because it's the obvious choice. He was third last year and Jay's out this year so that ranks him second. He was the last one to beat Heath in this line up, in fact he has beat every single person competing at the O.

[NarcissisticDeity]

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)

Exactly , however the more size one packs on the harder it becomes to stay in razor sharp conditioning

[Parker]

Yeah, but Phil is doing what Shawn Ray did, and later, what Dex did, adding weight in small increments. Which means he doesn't sacrifice his conditioning---as much.
Shawn when he went to 215 was a tad flat, when he went to 218, he loss some sharpness.
This method is what I believe Flex should have adopted, and he wouldn't have lost his conditioning that he had in 93.

Ray's heaviest ever according to his own mouth was 211

[Parker]

Ray's heaviest ever according to his own mouth was 211

On his vid, Final Countdown, he stated on the vid that he was around 215, this was when he was posing in his room in the mirror, talking about eating bananas or babyfood "I won't tell you all my secrets"
and then I believe he stated it again on the vid during his wrap up part (After the 98 Mr. O)

[Papper]

Cedric is good but folks, at Mr O you can't be smooth (unless you're jay).

And Cedric have to pay his dues, ie get shafted a couple times on the O stage
