He Trained at my friends gym - He did use Heavy weights & awful form
His terrible training style would've likely injured/ crippled most men with
The weights he uses.

He got banned for throwing his weights around/ not wanting to put his
Weights away & being very smelly - lived his life as a bit of a recluse.

There were a few training vids of him on Tubeyou.

ND in 1990/1991, there was an awesome picture of Bertil Fox doing seated dumbbell shoulder presses and Gary Strydom was spotting him.


Do you have that picture?

ND; thats a pretty cool Heath pic early on.

No one would say his back lacks for detail (trademark detail is there). But his back looks rather “ok” in terms of size and roundness in the lat area…good separation and detail but lat size is judg “average pro”. But in his later years he became virtually unbeatable in the BDB pose, much of which came from the size of his Lats (and he kept his detail and separation from his younger years).

Some of the improvement comes down to posing. But…

I’ll posit; has any high level bodybuilder improved his Lat size more effectively than Heath?

Hah! I knew you’d have my back on my comment (intended pun).

You can see that improvement come Olympia time, but he also gets better at posing too. Great example that one can improve a strong body part into a legendary body part.

Maybe that’s the point; Dillet was never going to have a legendary back because the genes weren’t there. But for heath he took a good (as far as pro) body part into something legendary. I’m sure it wasn’t easy but it’s still rare-ish, and even more rare for it to be the back (where it seems you either have always had it or you’ll never have it).

ND's article post notwithstanding,  Bertil trained very heavy, very hard and very sloppy.

I never saw him in person but there's plenty of vids of him training out there.

I do think he was judged rather poorly. It seemed to me he should've won or at least placed higher in a lot of shows. Even as an older guy in the early 90's he competed in a few shows and could still outmuscle most competitors. He was definitely ahead of his time.

Could he have beat Haney? No. I never cared for Haneys physique but he was a lot better than he is remembered. I think his rather boring personality has to do with that. But Haney was huge and I think he made Bertil look narrow on stage. Some people have said that Bertil looked like he lacked confidence on stage and he never learned how to pose with confidence.

I also think the bodybuilding world was small back then and word gets around. He was known to be a woman beater even then. People have said his girlfriends always had black eyes. In such a small circle these things are undoubtedly held against you in a subjective sport.
