2016 Olympia - Phil Heath looks terrible

[sceagacros]

Wow, I never noticed till some one pointed it out in another thread but , once you notice the deformed belly button - it's really all you see. That's really gross....

[SaintAnger]

In five years MPD will eclipse male bodybuilding in prize money, fame and actual real public acceptability.
Ive trained 20years and this last decade is like watching a fking pie eating contest. Everyone gets rewarded....most look like sacks of shit.
MPD is marketable, despite the old timers ans their tiresome legs comments, 99% of the world would think MPD were 1000x better than bloated deformed things

And popularity pays the bills....sadik looks way better than heath in most supp buyers opinions

Night show doesnt even matter. No one even really poses.

Would be nice if they let Levrone guest pose, so he could show these guys how it's done.

Night show is everything. It's where the high paying schmoes decide who they're going to "make a deal with" by the way they move. Do they want to give all their money to a younger new kid on the block or go with a reiable older vet...Or maybe bundle a couple together.

[Mr.1derful]

WTF was that? Mr. Olympia couldn't even hold a pose!

That was odd.

Don't bet on it. Male bodybuilding has a hardcore audience that will never go away. Men's Physique will go the same way fitness did years ago.

Everyone thought fitness would replace female bodybuilding. Instead, it got replaced with figure, which has since taken a back seat to bikini.

Twenty years ago, the "golden era" was the 70s. And critics like you were saying THE EXACT SAME THING about the very same 90s bodybuilders.

Nothing more to add, some of his poses next to Kevin made him look so insecure of his manhood never mind the title that he won again.  Kevin didn't look the way we all wanted but he was as classy as usual and didn't look like a dipshit like Heath. 

[muscleman-2013]

Let me tell you, THE ROCK wishes he was giving the award to THIS MAN....

[Azure]

I wonder what Arnold thought of last night's show. We know he doesn't like Phil and I noticed Phil was kissing up to him from the stage. I wonder what he thought of his boy ced getting 7th. In my eyes ced should be mr o but that's never going to happen with the current judging criteria

All you need to know about Heath summed in one picture.

delts wider than his pecs lol

A lot of interesting comments from a few GetBiggers here.

And my response is pretty basic shit which I think is being overlooked here.

Most notably is the general dislike of Phil Heath and the physique he displayed at this year's Olympia.

But all the attendees I've spoken to claim that Phil actually did deserve that 1st place trophy

And those claims were made according to numerous individuals who had their asses in the Orleans Audirorium and witnessed the event.

But Phil's win nor physique does not appear to satisfy most GetBiggers.

Now this is really BASIC .....If each and every contender on that stage was in miserable shape, the contender who was the one individual who was "least in miserable shape".... would get the trophy.

And for many GetBiggers this seems to have been the main objection/problem this time out.

(Phil .... looking miserable ... was the least looking miserable contender on that stage.)

And you have to realize that the determination of who gets what in a bodybuilding  contest is a a matter of comparing each contender on that stage with the other contenders on that stage.

If all are ugly, the winner will be the individual who is less ugly.

It really ain't rocket science nor it it quantum mechanics. It's just a bodybuilding contest!

And although one may feel that Heath is not a good Olympian, it just so happens that he was the BEST olympian contender in that line-up on that particular evening .... even though his physique does not meet one's standards of what a winning Olympian should look like.

Levrone would have pissed his pants facing that badass

Levrone would have pissed his pants facing that badass

I don't think so.
BUT...

bad ✓
ass ✓

you got that one correct.

[mass243]

My god that pertruding, hanging belly button on Phil is nasty! I can't even look at his mid section! He's got the money, get that shit fixed!!!

Get over it, miss.

Phil gets hot young pussy though.

KANNIBAL and MACWAY and a couple of others whom I have forgotten have said it best in my humble opinion......

The Olympia and every other bodybuilding contest held worldwide is far from 'death'.

It remains to be one of the most profitable money-makers within the bodybuilding world with an estimated 50,000 worldwide fans attending the Olympia Expo each and every year.

And as MACWAY so 'eloquently' stated .... It will never go away!

Even 'way back when' before the internet came to birth many people who never  even heard of bodybuilding contests were saying that it would never be a popular event.

Those were the original 'haters' way back then and since things continue to NEVER change, the haters are saying the same today .... but in larger numbers simply due to easy access to the internet.

But the NPC/IFBB has been listening and observing and made some  changes which just might possibly get the haters to mellow out a bit.

So far those changes have been the addition of Physique and Classic Physique which have been drawing contenders by the thousands

And I do agree with a few other GetBiggers that those changes are going to make a great improvement in acceptance throughout the world and eventually grow in popularity.

Possibly even surpassing the present day popularity of the Olympia which most every US citizen never heard of way back when.

In general I gotta agree with what MACWAY stated up above. He shows 'smarts'.

And so do a few others whose names I have forgotten.

But those who forecast the death of the Olympia and bodybuilding events in general have little knowledge of what's currently happening or are simply walking around with blinders on.
