Phil Heath Looking Huge!!

He looks like a gloriously youthful person who is so visually striking that if you saw him in person, you'd be blown away. His features appear to be almost perfectly symmetrical and proportional. He's a black man with pale blue/green eyes and light flawless skin. He's masculine in terms of his facial structure and physical build. The only flaw I see is that he is too perfect, which sometimes translates to being pretty...a term best saved for females.

Being handsome is great. But, it isn't enough. What else does he have going on? Does he have substance? Is he intelligent? Is he interesting? Does he have a good sense of humor? Is he compassionate? Is he romantic? Is he a winner? Is he sexual?

I've met people who were so beautiful or handsome that at first that's all you saw about them. Once they started talking and you looked deeper, you were let down because you realized their good looks were all there was positive about them. They were just a beautiful storefront on an outhouse. You cannot judge a book by its cover.

For his sake, I hope he's got more going for himself than just how well he photographs.

Looks good, think he will have one last crack at it, his gut will need to be improved though.

Looks like something that fell out of an elephants ass.

It seems like that was the only issue.  Compare that to Ronnie Coleman in 2006...one could think that at his age at the time [42], and given his injuries to his left side at the time, that it would have been hard for him to improve that by 2007.  And he ended up staying on gear all year, rather than taking his usual four months off, and looked even worse in 2007, and placed 7th.

In Phil's case, he narrowly lost to Shawn Rhoden [no pun intended], and Shawn was 43 at the time, whereas Phil was turning 39 a few months after the Olympia.

I don't see why Phil couldn't have come back...was his stomach distension really THAT bad?  I understand he had a hernia, but was it just completely destroying his physique?  I seem to recall thinking he looked very good, other than his stomach.

Was Phil mentally defeated after losing to Shawn Rhoden?  Is there any reason to think he is done for good?

I don't hate him, I just despise his arrogance and childish insecurity. And he won't compete again as he is too afraid of not winning, he just wants attention.

I don't want to disparage the 2019 Mr. Olympia lineup, as these guys have much better genetics for bodybuilding than I do, but if Phil didn't think he could win in that lineup, I would have to think you are right to say he will not be coming back.  The lineup couldn't have gotten much weaker than that.  Too bad for Phil, as I think he could have won one last one.

You just described 99 percent of the people who compete in a thong

Most are all head cases

That is easy to say when he was not on stage standing next to them.

True...I think it boils down to how his stomach would have looked.  I would think that even his 2018 physique could have won in 2019.  Maybe I'm wrong.  Certainly any of Phil's physiques from 2011 through to 2017 would have won in 2019.

Kai Greene beat him 2 or 3 times IMO.

he would've won in 2018 if they didn't decide to judge that show differently than any other show since 1994
