Phil Heath will demolish the field at the Arnold Classic

[Royalty]

And based on how he feels after that show... he will either retire or return to the Olympia stage. I think that is his best option and I think that’s what he will do.


Note: if Phil signs the contract to compete at the Arnold Classic, I would fully expect Kai to also sign.

He'd be a fool to retire. He didn't get dominated , he lost a close contest , He can regain his title

This getting in front of your own gimmicks business is fooling no one. The OP's got your number.

gimmicks and schmoes in this thread. 

phil hasn't competed in the arnold classic since 2013

id like to see him go against kai greene in that, or kai do the Mr Olympia next year.

Add JAGO, Royal Lion, BSN, and Dearth to that List... and that’s for starters

There's nothing wrong with his health. He has a Hernia and the usual GH-related intestinal bulge, but other than that, no reason to believe he won't be back next year.

If anything Rhoden is the one with unbearable pressure on his now. He's got a bullseye on his back and there's much younger guys who now see the Olympia as wide open thanks to the famous one being shoved aside.

He's trying to be funny by pretending to be us even as he posts on several gimmicks in this thread.

It would be poetic karma if he entered the Arnold and Kai came along and won the show.

Kai has been of competitions for 2 years now. Plus, he is 43yo. It's not going to happen. Neither phil will compete in anything else than the O.

His left pec looked slightly torn to me.

Hard to find a good shot of it but here is one:

I got way more.

Jago, BSN, Diablo Blanco, Azure, Primemuscle, Nether Animal, Stan Diego, Al Doggity, Agnostic 007, Mobil, Iron Cross, Falco, Fitnessfrenzy, Dan-O, Pet Shop Boys, doggler, dearth, Howard, Royal Lion, a_pupil, Brian Poulos, Tres Taco Combo, The Keto Kid, Funk51, che, Elvishk, catracho, seCrawler, and much, much more. And you share them all with Danimal77, who still posts randomly but no longer replies to anything directed at him (classic outed troll maneuver).

Man- Roelly looks even better in that pic. Looks like a better Mr Olympia

Bump.

Isn't Rhoden 43?
Those 2 years off from competition could have been beneficial to let his body rest.
Although Kai's midsection has been more or less blown out for a while now. I'm not sure he'll be able to bring it all in unless he lost a bunch of size and started over.
