My Interview with Phil Heath 7 weeks out

[SF1900]

There are plenty here that have no fear of Phil nor any other drug bloated pro.  Stop being such a sycophant, you are better than this.  And the event you're not?  Few things in the world of the internet are more delightful than watching a fool, even a part time fool, "make" his "case".

By all means, go Genova on us white knighting Mr. Stay-Puft.

To Hades with Phildo.  The only thing more inflated that his blatantly artificial "muscles" is his pathetic manlet fueled ego.  Imitation of life.

Exactly. Tony Doherty is acting like a schmoe. Big muscles does not mean you can fight, nor does it mean you are strong in a fighting sense. Phil was huffing and puffing after doing 3 plates on the incline press. I know plenty of guys who would destroy Phil in a fight who have never lifted a weight a day in their life.

Tony is acting like a big time schmoe, like Phil would kick everyones ass because he has big muscles. Talk about deluded.

In Tony's defense  he did say Phil is one of his best friends in bodybuilding. Maybe the Phil he knows is different than the Phil we see online.

Similar to the thought that the whole world can think Ray Rice is a scumbag but if his wife loves him that's all that matters.

[DroppingPlates]

The least likable Mr 'O so far...

[DroppingPlates]

Shit sandwich.  Yeah...I can't stand the woman nor the idiot in the middle.  The poor guy on Kai's left just gets turded by association

I'm more than happy to forgive ML for making all those selfies when she keeps me company for a night...

[NaturalWonder83]

Looking forward to your next thrilling video Tony
That Phil is going places - the camera prescence of a house plant
Can he please address the diabetes rumors

[DroppingPlates]

Then you keep the Universe in balance, my friend.    For her insufferable selfies alone, I cannot abide that woman. Yuck.

But only for a night. Being in love with herself (and only herself) indicates that she's not a keeper...

Welcome to my first Doherty TV Pro Talk with Phillip Heath​, 7 weeks before the 2015 Mr Olympia..... Enjoy!

Tony,

Thank you for sharing your first Doherty Pro Talk show with us.

Guys, Tony is highly involved in the industry and takes time out to share stories, pictures and industry insider information/secrets.

For those who are seriously into bodybuilding culture and the competitive circuit, he can be a great resource. As I know that Tony has done judging as well.

For those that are not fans of Phil Heath (for whatever reasons you might have), it's no sweat. Live and let live, right?

Phil is not a fighter and he isn't involved in a sport that could possibly end up with him having to hurt anyone else (football, Rugby etc.). Phil is a professional bodybuilder and that's how he makes a living, by building his body (pretty obvious stuff here).

Having the current Mr. Olympia as your friend means a lot in this small industry. The guy is sought out by many people, supplement companies, magazines and as well as various other groups. Tony believes in friendships and he is simply supporting (backing up) his good friend.

Just roll with the punches Tony. The boys are just messing with you, but you know they mean no harm.

"1"

[mr.turbo]

yes Tony is good people and good for bodybuilding.

Let's pray phil doesn't do him like he's done his other "friends"

 

[Tony Doherty]

I know some of you guys don't like Phil and I respect that, however, if you don't know him, then not liking him is more fan like than you care to admit. See if you don't like someone you don't know and obsess over them, then you are actually the ultimate fanboy/schmoe, think about it.

For those of you that watched it, for the most part enjoyed seeing a side of Phil that you haven't seen before.

So all I am saying to the people that do not like Phil (or me) watch it, so then you are at least qualified to comment, good or bad.

You will always get a more complete idea of someone when you meet that person, that's obvious. It's also obvious that people have multiple sides, but how someone behaves, esp what he says and how, says something about his personality/values, how he deals with life.

Too often, I saw Phil behaving like a complete asshole, esp during press conferences and on stage. Compare him with all formal 'O winners, even Dexter & Sergio included, and you will see that Phil is the least likable mr 'O winner so far.

Excellent interview, thanks Tony!

I see where you are coming from but must add that he has really been the first Mr O to have this level of online scrutiny and presence. For example with Ronnie and Jay there was no twitter, instagram, snapchat, periscope etc. Even Facebook was in it's infancy.

This alone probably explains why hardy any pros post on forums like this anymore as they all have their own followings without the likes of get big. Back in the day a lot of pros posted here regularly.

How you manage your image as perceived via the internet is the new ground in sport.

Social media are just tools, they won't necessary make someone more or less likable. In Phil's case, when he feels to need to abuse (I can't find a better term) these media to 'inform' us about his latest Bentley, Gucci, private jet rents and other bs, then he behaves like a complete douchebag, just as low as a rapper from a poor background who became wealthy.

'Pros' don't post here because their grotesque egos can't handle people who make jokes or give them their honest opinions. Another aspect is the legal part, they can't speak openly about their gear use, because it's not in their best interest (ifbb & sponsors)

These days, there's plenty of footage of any formal 'O winner, but again, I guess it's safe to say that Phil is the least likable one, which has everything to do with... him

poor Phil everyone picks on him for no reason

[Tony Doherty]

For those that watched this one, you will see where I am heading. Not the average interview about chicken and rice, set or reps or boring shit.

So who would you like to see interviewed next?

Chic, ask him about room 7

How you manage your image as perceived via the internet is the new ground in sport.

It's not new ground in to manage your image as a personality, though.

I've talked about this before in a thread like this, but you have to ask yourself - why is a guy like Eric Cantona almost universally loved, yet was an arrogant and highly divisive character in his prime?

The answer is charm.  You can be arrogant as all hell if you have some way to express it with charm.

There's nothing particularly odd about the Phil - he's from the shit talking basketball background and he is yet to realise that what he is competing in is not a sport, nor is it particularly adversarial.   His cockiness is consequently out of place.  Even having a "personality" is moderately out of place in bodybuilding (and I don't mean they're all lame - I just mean most of them aren't really showmen).

When you're the champion, you really don't need to be cocky.  Particularly in fucking bodybuilding, where they're mortally afraid of crowning a new champ because of an archaic idea that dynasties are somehow part of the romance of it all

I reread Phil's posts on getbig and he seems like a good fella.  To me that is a better gauge of the guy - because it's obviously doing okay in the face of trolling, hate etc.

[DroppingPlates]

For those that watched this one, you will see where I am heading. Not the average interview about chicken and rice, set or reps or boring shit.

So who would you like to see interviewed next?

That's a good question. I would suggest to find a formal ifbb pro, someone who's seen it all, someone who isn't afraid to talk about subjects like politics in the ifbb, peds and other competitors. It could be a refreshing interview. Maybe your country mate Lee Priest?

Lol, Tony wouldnt ever get invited to any more IFBB events.

Big Cedric!

[DroppingPlates]

Nor organizing the Arnold Australia... It just shows how much politics is involved, pathetic..
I was a bit sarcastic by mentioning his name, but he's one of the few who aren't afraid to talk.

[SaintAnger]

How about Tony tell us how he REALLY makes his money...

[DroppingPlates]

Why not say it yourself, tough guy?

[gmflex]

Tony ..
Please ask Phil why he is such a c*nt?
Making him self sound better than Arnold..
Not even in the same zipcode..
He sounded so stupid just even bringing Arnold's name up..
