Phil Heath looking bloofy on 05-12-19

This is so bad it’s difficult to believe.

The magic of drugs will transform him in just a few months. But, will it be enough time for him to do battle with Phil?!?!

[TheShape.]

I see all the past Mr. Olympia’s and people who have trained, dieted and prepared for a show are chiming in with their expertise. This is Trigili level of stupidity

You keep saying this but it is really THAT hard to hold 10-12% body fat? Come on now.

Of course it isn't.

It's pure laziness and knowing they could rely on drugs to transform themselves in a matter of weeks/months.

If bodybuilding was about health and fitness and really a lifestyle, Rhoden would not look that out of shape. But, it's not. It's about looking like shit for the majority of the year, pumping yourself full of drugs 3-6 months before a contest, looking insane, then go back to looking like garbage again.

Thats why its not a sport

It's also not objectively judged scoring.

[honest]

I think if Phil can improve his waist he's a chance, Rhoden needs to be at his absolute best again to beat him , if he's just off and Phils on and his waist is improved, I think he can win it back.

I dont understand the point of walking around looking like a fat truck driver for 9 months a year. I understand they have to go off, why not stay on trt and get as shredded as possible in the offseason, then blow up into the show.

Shawn already said this is the way he’s been in the off-season since he turned pro and now everyone on him. But let’s do a hypothetical, there is 19 weeks left. Shawn is 270-275 tops right now. When he won the Olympia he was what? 252? Let say he’s around 14-16% ON THE HIGH SIDE and let’s say he’s on stage at 3.5-4.5%.

Take into consideration that he has been training everyday with light cardio and hes is completely off gear. Yup, he likes to live like a normal person in the off-season while enjoying his family. Personally, he’s the smartest pro up there because he knows he need to

Recover, Travel (almost all year) taking care of his sponsor obligations, etc

He’s got almost 5 months of prep. What do you? If I calculated correctly, he’d would have lose and trend at losing about 1/2% per week. How hard do you suppose that would be given 19 weeks?

[SF1900]

Just stop

So professional bodybuilding is about health? Haha lol

Stop, just stop.

Yeah, no one said was but the lifestyle is and seriously dude, you and everyone else that brings up the drugs and thinking it’s ALL about that need to pull your heads out

So, the professional  bodybuilding lifestyle is about health? 😂😂😂

Hey, man, whatever you gotta tell yourself to convince yourself it’s the truth 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Looking forward to your impending heart attack. Nothing to do with drugs, of course.

Honestly, is he really COMPLETELY off everything?? Not even 400 mg of test a wk??

Do you know for sure?

Holding way too much estrogen and water to be off completely off I would say low cruise type dosages of HGH and Test, props to him for having the genetics and the genetic response to being able to get ready in 20 weeks IMO, you wouldn't do that without a solid base, whilst he looks way off, he's probably the least all drugs guy around if whats said is true.

Bodybuilding is a drug sport, so are many sports they just aren't as obvious or require as much abuse. Training and dieting for a contest drugs is gruelling in my opinion far more difficult than playing many sports. The sacrifice is 24hrs a day and everything you eat, no other sport is as intense during this phase, even cutting weight for UFC boxing its hard but its all about making weight not being full hard etc as well, just an opinion. I wouldn't call them athletes but i wouldn't call them not athletes either. Its a beauty contest more than a competitive sports meet, but it does require training in a gym as many sports do.
