Phil Heath - How does he earn your respect? Many haters on Phil

[Weedlejuice]

What could he or any future mr.o do to earn your respect/approval in terms of bodybuilding and as a person in general.

Do you think there is such a person out there who has or is capable of meeting or met your criteria,  if so who?

[anabolichalo]

haters gonna hate

[BigRo]

potatoes gonna potate

Growth shoulders, reach atleast 5 foot 10 in height(as a bare minimum)

Wolf passes the bare minimum and not much else.
I'm tired of these shits, without drugs these shits couldn't even pass for a athlete in a made for tv movie. It's fucking shameful what this sport has become.

The NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL all manage to fill full teams of big healthy looking mofos.

The ifbb can't get one on stage.

Bodybuilding died in the early 90s  these insulin loaded bloofy sacks of chit with their double chins, enormous guts and pathetic conditioning are a far cry from the old days.....not even worth watching anymore.

Yeah I think there was a time when the freak factor of people like coleman made it worth it. But cutler and narrowness are severe departures from both the freak factor and the proper proportions.

The IFBB dug itself into a corner.

Maybe he could streamline the organization and create synergies?

It went to shit when American Muscle Mag got booted from ESPN. My Tuesday's haven't been the same since then.

Would be nice to have a BB representative (Mr. O), who:

a) Isn't a midget

b) Has an obvious passion for hardcore oldschool weight training/weight lifting

c) Doesn't succumb to the gotta-have-a-fart-powder-company-to-call-my-own thievery and lies

d) Isn't the product of mountainous amounts of all manner or anabolic drugs (a "talent" for responding well to said drugs isn't to be admired for any particular reason, after all)

Good enough?

You need a time machine.

Gym rats and IFBB pros alike exist because they are not super athletic, maxed out their genetics in a sport and fell into it, or they have a mental disorder. Inwardly it might fill in some missing mental thing or make you feel more athletic...but outwardly if you choose to get on a stage it's a beauty pageant.

[The Abdominal Snoman]

I think his number one problem is he comes off as a douche onstage. His posing and the faces he makes, yelling while posing and stepping over the line to gain an advantage. If everyone kept creeping up and stepping over the line, the judges would have to keep saying "get back in line" etc. Dragging the whole thing out... Phil is sneaky about it. That to me isn't letting your body do the talking. He's a grown man who "on stage" comes off really childish. I believe it was the great George Carlin who said "You can't be a hater if the guys a douche"...

[no one]

who cares who the 'mr.O' is. its not like that sideshow is ever going to be publicly accepted.

[Europe]

Phil should instead embrace that he's narrow & joke around about it.
He responds with arrogance and he's suppose to be the no.1 Bodybuilder in the world & represent it like that.

[AmonRa]

I felt disgusted watching 10 seconds of this Phil Heath biceps workout

So, two guys ON STEROIDS talking nonsense in the video. Phil Heath doing some stupid arm exercises while the other guys gets a hard on.

This is the true face of the world. Phonies and fags.

[old-school-lifter]

Phil could win 9 olympias and he'd still never get respect

hes an arrogant douchebag who's a genetically gifted repsonder to steroids

this is the only reason ,in addition to his ass kissing of manion and weinberger, that he's mr O

Kai on the other hand- is humble, authentic and real.
and he works hard.
these are qualities which garner respect (grapefruit or not)

[Var City]

tldr

fuck you

[OTHstrong]

the reality is that he has almost no haters, this is getbig where haters gather in abundance and voice their opinions so it seems there is many but if you have seen first hand what kind of fan base he gets at the expo's and the line ups that literally wrap around the building you would know that the haters are but a minuscule fraction, for every hater 100 fans.

The guys that couldn't make it in the sports that you listed.... turn to bodybuilding.

[MikMaq]

who cares who the 'mr.O' is. its not like that sideshow is ever going to be publicly accepted.

The point is it's not even an interesting sideshow anymore.

That argument was sound back 10-15 years ago, but IFBB is stuck in this void.

It's quite impossible to get any bigger.

At the same time they can't get a dude with a descent build on, as people will think the sport is going backwards.

It's trapped as a sport.

Heath is one of the least interesting O ever, he a slight bit of everything but nothing that will get remembered.

He's no bigger than your average gymrat, and the synthol makes his shape look plastic and bloofy.

The guys that couldn't make it in the sports that you listed.... turn to bodybuilding.

Agreed, only its not like the rock who build could atleast be considered that of a football player.

These guys don't look like athletes.

Go back and watch pumping iron, every one of these guys aside from columbo could pass as NFL superstars.

Todays clowns wouldn't be able to even pretend to be athletes on TV

[Viking11]

He could dress and act like a 30 something professional .. Not an NBA wanna be.

[thegamechanger]

what if he decided to quit and say "ive won, now lets give someone else the chance to win and feel what i felt winning, this is a time of giving, this is not a time of being selfish"

i would respect that

but no, he needs to win over and over and over again, never enough. how selfish can you be? when is enough enough for this man? winning mr olympia once should be the goal and the only goal and plenty of a goal after that move on and do something else in life nobody cares if you win twice

I'd lol if I heard him making reference to something being x heath's wide.
