Phil Heath - Updates

[Twaddle]

This is one of the worst comparison photos ever.  Heath would look like a tiny tit next to a prime Ronnie.  Ronnie was much taller and larger than Jay.  Jay was taller and larger than Phil.  The size ratio of the "Phil vs Ronnie photo" is off.  Prime Ronnie was probably 6 inches taller than Phildo.  Again, Phil would absolutely disappear next to Ronnie.

Was thinking the same exact thing.  Good post

i never understood the "genetic response" to drugs

if you use a ton of drugs wouldn't you grow?  i think the guys that don't grow are using bunk drugs or have no diet

ever hear of Dan Duchaine??? He took boatloads of every drug under he sun and never even looked like he lifted!!! Others can smell a bottle of test and put on 10 lbs of muscle!!

[milone79]

Not sure about best ever, but that version can stand on stage with prime Ronnie and prime Dorian any time.

All I see is boatloads of oil filled muscles, insulin bloophiness and a face I want to smash!!! Nothing like prime Dorian or Ronnie at all!!!!

Opinions Vary.

Dorian wasn’t very photogenic
Where as Phil is

Dorian at his best seen in person was a different entity.


You believe what you want.

Phil's photogenic?

He has the most punchable face in the history of bodybuilding.

That's because Duchaine didn't lift plus he did loads of other drugs and lived a terrible lifestyle.  Then he died young.

Go to Spec Savers 🤣😂

Only You or any of us Haven’t Seen Phil - Ronnie - Dorian
all on stage at the same time at their respective Best.
So it’s purely Speculation.

Its hilarious how Phil is trying to change his personality, his career is coming to an end and all of a sudden he's trying to be all smiley and friendly. He's trying to be all positive and shit. He knows the fans hate him and he realizes being in the twilight of his career he's going to need them to continue living his lifestyle. It just comes off a fake. All of a sudden he cares about fans?

the problem is phil didn't do anything that changed bodybuilding to leave his mark on the sport

dorian was the first to bring huge size and conditioning, any time you are the first to do something it always leaves a lasting impression

ronnie brought a level of size and overall freakiness we never saw before to leave his mark

phil wasn't the first to do anything, he was never the freakiest or most conditioned of all time, i would argue he is the most complete but many would argue that makes him boring

he is somewhere in between dorian and ronnie and because of that people won't remember him as well, he never had that "we've never seen anything like this before" moment

there is an old saying..."Be nice to people you meet on the way up, because you will meet them all again on the way back down"

There’s no problem or issue for Me.
Phil Had a Great Physique at his Best no Doubt about That.

Is he Better or does he even Stack up to Ronnie or Dorian at their Best
Personally I don’t Really Care - It’s Irrelevant- He Was the best at that time.

Excellent example!

Wow all of the sudden Phil grew 2 inches

Jay isn’t taller  jay is 5’8, Ronnie isn’t much either, 5’10 max, Phil is 5’9

You can tell Earl is a small guy. With narrow shoulders. Anyone who thinks Phil is a complete bb is narrow themselves

yates was on another level in 93, nothing heath has ever put forward has come close.

[JuicedKangaroo]

Some Phil dickriders are in total denial (not necessarily here on GB) that he regressed slowly over the years and got worse every year. Some even question the severity or legitimacy of his stomach distension! I've never been complementary of Phil, but I can objectively say that his 2011 physique was just flawless - everything was on point.

A quantum leap in bodybuilding even if it did usher in the gh/insulin era
