Great post, his chest is catching up to those monster arms. I hope Heath wins the O within the next 2 yrs. Melvin looked pretty amazing yesterday too when he guest posed while presenting the best posing award.

I didn't think his arms could get any better...but there they are...damn.
I just wish he was able to widen his back more...its still his weakest link, and more so only because all his other parts and so strong.

Agreed. He also has a very peculiar pectoral shape. IDK if that would hold him back per se, but that's a genetic trait he can't do anything about which could affect his placing.

You noticed that too eh? Its not so apparent when he hits a side pose, but front poses and transitions its really noticable.
the lighting played a role too

Yeah. I don't think it looks bad though, it's just very different. It would be nice to see him be the O champ though. I don't think that something like muscle shape should be a basis for losing a competition when the conditioning, symmetry, proportion, etc are all correct.

Everyone Is Always Bashing Heath About His Chest And Lack Of Back Width...at The End Of The Day Phil Genitically Dosen't Have A Wide Chest So All He Can Do Is Make It Thick As Possible Which Has Done..but No One Seems To Gon About THAT DO THEY!?...
Also His Bak..his Structure Does Not Allow Him To Posess A Wide Back Period!..he Has Worked With Wat He As Got And Hes Done A Good Job With It Being Thick And Detailed..the End!

But let's remember he only had to go throught a good conditioned Gustavo since the Xman was off...Now it's his real test,Dexter Jackson,an improved Melvin,an outstanding Branch for what Bob is saying,an possible dark horse named Kai Greene,Gustavao again,probably a better peaked Toney Freeman,also a better peaked JOJ for sure,i mean now it's gonna get dirty and Phil has his hands full so don't give him the victory just yet...I put my money as Dex has big words to say about it!!!

I dunno about that. Heath looks much better on his own, looks as if he could blow away a slightly off Ronnie Coleman, or hell, even a completely on Levrone, but when he stood on stage the margin between him and the other guys was still great, but MUCH smaller than expected.
His lack of width may be a deciding issue in the illusion.
Still, best front double bi I've ever seen. He came in this year with one helluva STUNNING physique and I am now a Heath fan.

I agree, Heaths fdb is one of the best ive ever seen, maybe even the best. I think if he can get alittle better cross cuts in his quads hed def be #1 fdb ever.

He does not have big obliques.
The obliques that are there add an impressive sweep to his waist without detracting from his taper (which is an excellent one - that's impressive for a narrow guy).

I wouldnt go that far until he can enter the majors i.e. arnold and Mr. O until he can dial in on the bigger comps then I still think he is second rate.

Second rate? LOL, that makes no sense. No second rate bodybuilder has won the Ironman.
Anyway, it makes perfect sense to say that he has the best looking front double biceps of all time, regardless of how well he does in shows or where he has competed. It's a matter of personal preference.
To my eyes, his FDB is the best ever. I simply cannot contradict what appeals to my own aesthetic sense, sorry.

Lat spread comparisons will really hurt him at the Olympia. Reminds me of David Henry's back: Looks awesome standing by himself but looks really small and narrow when next to a top 5 competitor.

In comparisons though, Gustavo had an advantage in that shot. Sure Phil's hams and glutes are an advantage, but Gustavo had the lats and width on him, and that probably won him the pose.
I prefer how Phil looks by far though.

the man has only entered 2nd rate comps man look at what he has entered and tell me who has a better history wolf or heath, dex or heath, etc....if he really wanted to make a big impact he would have waited 2 weeks and entered the arnold and BAM win it and then be top contender for Mr. O. Look at victor martinez......so yes 2nd rate. If dexter or victor won the iornman folks would probably, 'bah he entered a 2nd rate competition what did you expect from a first rate physique, but to win"

Heath place 5th at last years Arnold with a much lesser physique than the one he has now. Jay and arguably Ronnie were the only 2 top bbers not at that show.
What makes a first rate bber? Only winners of Arnold and Mr.O? I would argue anyone in the top 5-6 of the Arnold and O can be considered first rate.

exactly and no argument there for the arnold and O yeah top rate in the top 5 or so. would you ever see ronnie coleman, dexter jacskson, victor martinez ever enter the colorado pro championships? or the so called shawn ray classic etc.......I hightly doubt it thats for the smaller bodybuilders to try to enter to qualify for the O after not qualifying in the arnold.

He's definitely looking good in Iron Man.It show how hard he'd worked last year.
He vastly improved weak areas - especially back and upper chest and calves. Clearly he knew what he had to do and worked hard for it. I also can't believe how much bigger his arms look now - particularly the bis! This is one of the best packages I've seen on stage - more complete than Flex because I don't see weak areas except the lat spread width but that's genetic there. Flex always had issues nailing the hams/glutes conditioning and Phil doesn't seem to struggle with that.
I'm a bit worried he might fall into a trap of being compared against himself now though... maintaining this conditioning for the Arnold will be very hard and can potentially be dangerous. For the arnold and this year's olympia if he comes in less conditioned the judges might mark him down simply based on perception.
I think he should've just done Ironman and then the olympia and kept doing only the Os until he wins, Wolf seems to be on this cycle now. I'm curious what improvements he will make but he'll smoke Heath from the back and in sheer muscle quantity. Also while Phil has a more flowing type Wolf does have an amazing x-frame and good shape too so until they get on stage we won't know. One thing is for sure - Phil owns Wolf on arms.
Talking about the O though... come on though guys, nobody can beat Jay at the O regardless of what they look like. The sponsorship round will be the final decision maker in that show. After Jay retires maybe Wolf and Heath can take a Sandow.

i dont know i never said he used a ton of synthol in a disturbing way but i think he might have used it ... i just dont see how you can add that much shoulder mass in such a little time frame.. he has lost some striation/conditioning in the delt however.
he probabaly might not have used synthol at all if he did it was in a tasteful way most of the pro ranks have experimented with it according to many ex pros... i think its kind of funny how some people get so defensive when you suggest perhaps he may have used synthol.

How does it remind you of "big Ron," who dropped 3 places from 6th to 9th in 1996 and 1997 in the Mr Olympia. Heath will most likely climb in placings on his way to the top not drop.

How does it remind you of "big Ron," who dropped 3 places from 6th to 9th in 1996 and 1997 in the Mr Olympia. Heath will most likely climb in placings on his way to the top not drop.
I'm not talking about big ron's previous O placings before 98...I'm talking about the 98 season in general...I remember seeing pics of his dominance at the NOC and saying that he could possibly win the O or at least do damage...thats what those pics of heath remind me of...I know people are going to get into the discussion of Heath vs Wolf and thats all that it is at this point a discussion...and I'm really looking forward to seeing these two compete against each other...its good for the sport as a whole...I hopped that cleared up the big ron thing

the huge brachialis development helps separate the biceps and triceps...that's just crazy! Looks like his arms are gonna explode!

Thats a good obs, some of the best brachialis dev Ive ever seen, maybe even the best.
Heath looks sharp, I gotta hand it to him he is taking his genetics to the limit, kind of reminds me of Rich Gaspari.

I think he has great pecs. Unfortunately he doesn't have much of a ribcage and they get completely swamped by his arms and delts.

Agreed, his chest is super thick, but he has those narrow clavicle. JoJ got owned in that bicep comparison pic, which isn't that common up top.

Uh what? JoJ looks like hes guest posing next to Phil Heath, whos actually competing.
Edit: Wow, I fail. Somehow I read "JoJ owned in that bicep comparison" not what you really said, "got owned"..... my bad.

His chest appears small because his arms and delts are so ridiculously big.

In his defence JoJ isn't flexing his legs :D Not that it would make a huge difference in the lessening of the pwnage.

Whats really crazy about that picture is that JoJ's arms aren't that bad, although it seems he was aiming for arnold conditioning wise, Phil's arms are just that good.
