Likely not but he doesn’t need to use free weights to win the Mr. O.

He might as well train light, use machines and save his joints.

Save his joints but trash his organs.

Good plan.

The guy’s got freaky balloon muscles, for sure.

But what’s he excited about (as he states in the intro)? This workout (it isn’t training) is about as boring and sleep-inducing as any I’ve seen. It’s like watching someone brush his teeth.

What could anyone glean from this? If you’ve set foot in a gym a dozen times you know all these exercises/angles. This workout is like one I’d do if I was partaking in active-rest, either because of burnout or injury.

Heath just rams boatloads of drugs and hormones into his (receptive) body and ... the actual weight training becomes an afterthought.

“Okay, I’ve shot the gear and eaten a chicken breast. What am I missing? Oh, yeah! ... Wait ... Uh ... Yeah! Pumping out a few sets at the gym! Knew it!”

Think of a NFL locker room....  Even a scrub like Heath Evans built a decent body with Mike OHearns tutelage.

If the ifbb were future focused it would be signing up the upcoming NFL roster cuts to build stars for the future.

It’s already assumed he’s going to trash his organs but he’s likely trying to avoid ending up like Ronnie.

I guess he’s better off with only bad organs, as opposed to bad organs plus multiple back and hip surgeries.

Good game plan.

Last year he just about struggled to keep an alien from exploding out of his distended stomach as his navel expanded like a cork being eased out of a champagne bottle. It's not hard to improve on that. The Olympia's rigged. Ramy should've won 4 years ago.

His training videos are boring and uninspiring. If you want to see heavy weight being used and killer work outs youtube Mike O'Hearn. He kills the workouts.  Other great training video is of course Coleman, Yates and Shawn Ray. Getting back to O'Hearn I don't know how he can train heavy for decades. It's been over 30 years plus of lifting heavy.

Exactly. It's the explosive movements that kill. Arthur Jones demonstrated on a force plate the difference when you press a weight and throw it. It's the difference between velocity and acceleration (change in velocity). You can sit in a plane going at 300+ mph and nothing. Go from zero to 50 mph in a fraction of a second in a car and your head will snap off. I remember trying to explain this to my girlfirend while parking and then suddenly I slammed on the brakes. We both flew forward pretty forcefully even though we were going about 3 mph.

Difference between pressing your fist against a brick wall as hard as you can and punching it.

Seems like they all do that. Ever seen Jason Huh? Takes partials to the extreme. One of the first things I noticed in Pumping Iron was Louie just throwing up the weight on over head presses. Even Arnold on the T-bar and cable rows. And this is back in the early 70s.

I'm sure many of the old timers here, like me, smile thinking back to the days when you actually had to clean the bar to do military presses. Just unheard of now.

Enough junk in his bloodstream to kill a racehorse yet he can't even grow a decent beard that connects everywhere so he sports the same patchy mess Coleman (who also couldn't grow one to save his life) did.

These guys are classic overcompensators. There's either a lack of height, lack of facial hair, lack of respect in school, lack of inches in their thong, or some other inadequacy that drives them to deform themselves with industrial amounts of drugs and look this way.

The reality is that we probably all compensate for something but the problem is that we neglect developing a personality. So guys end up with great bodies and a dead soul. Just like all those female internet models, hot yes, but like zombies. No feminine characteristics

OK, I admit it. I did one arm lateral dumbbell raises today because of this video. But I did a slight variation. When doing, say, the right delt, I used my left hand to lean on an incline bench so that my body was angled to the left. That will give more resistance at the start of the movement. When you stand straight up there is no resistance on the side delt at the start of the movement.

It's not enough to just blindly copy Phil Heath. I want to be better than him. I expect some huge results in the next few weeks.

He has stated it was on the incline

Not sure if he was maxing out which I highly doubt but I would guess it was in the 405+ range to 500 max I don’t recall

In all his vids he never went over 405 and he would do around 6 to 8 reps max

Still very strong esp doing incline after flat

I respect you, but I would definitely not rule out Levrone benching 550+ in his prime; after all, he was filmed doing a double with 520 a year or so ago.  He is in his late forties or early fifties now, isn't he?  Before he ripped a pec the first time (the 520*2 came after even another tear or two), at an off-season weight of 270-plus, I've little reason to doubt him.  Larry Wheels is certainly breaking strength barriers, and he arguably lacks the shorter KLo's leverages for heavy benching.

He’s not doing 550 on incline or even 520 esp when he was a lot lighter his early years
