When he wants to, Phil can be quite articulate. I don't understand the need for straps on everything but hey, whatever.
His physique is not my ideal but it is excellent all the same. I would prefer the Wolf (with calves) over Phil but I also think Phil is much better overall than Kai is. We cannot discount Jay this year and I doubt any on these forums would prefer Branch over Jay. Rami is just disgustingly big. Too big for his height but that could be said for the majority of today's bodybuilders.
Rami is about as marketable as pork chops in broad daylight in the Sudan.
If Wolf took a page from the Oak and worked his calves up to the rest of his physique and along with a dash of charisma he would take the title. He could well hold onto for a few years.
The judges are well aware of Kai perverse proclivities with all kinds of fruit, as they more than likely share some, if not all, of them. Whether or not they desire to have the seamy side of this pseudo sport shown remains to be seen.
In all fairness Phil, while not the best face bodybuilding can put forward (and he is good), is far from being the total ass that Kai would show the world.
