I agree, BUT, there is nothing special about Phil. Also, he is the most unliked Mr. Olympia EVER!
Mr. O is the WORST event for a professional.
No wonder the Arnold attracts 5 times more people and VENDORS.
No, there's nothing special about Phil. He just doesn't have weak spots really. People pick on his width or whatever, but really, where one person has no this, isn't shredded that, whatever... Phil may not have anything great, but he has the best Back Double Bi and the best arms and he's not really weak anywhere else.
That's why they give it to him.
