I dont think he will beat the 8 title record for some reason.

[AniMaLizTik]

but who was Ramy?

[SammyJr]

but who was levrone in 2019?

2019 Mr. Olympia prediction

[BartPimpson]

So Phil doesn't actually claim anywhere in the video that he'll win 9 Mr Olympias, right? He just says he'll probably retire in 6 years.

Unless I've missed a part.

Correct, OP put words in Phils mouth.

[jamesyboi]

I reckon he will tie with Dorian for 6 Mr O's.

I think OP may be assuming that he'll win that many.

Somebody in 2011: "I don't think he will ever win a Mr. O for some reason"

[stealth_swimmer]

Phil's such a motivational speaker, imo. Just wish DLB would've gotten to answer more questions. Great seminar though. Saw the other parts already. Repped, OP.

[spamy]

Really, Supercows? Really?

[HeroesFall]

I think he is doing well with the questions and how he answered. And if he was insinuating he'd win 9.. name a Mr. Olympia who wasn't aiming to win multiple or do something great. He's motivated and I respect that and hope he bring it for those 6 years.

[ROMMYromboid]

I wonder if he will still retire in 6 if he loose an Olympia over the next 1 -2 years, on the footage supplied by OP Heath's voice sounds deeper than I have heard it before. Agree with others Heath is a very good and clear speaker and a smart business man coming up with an exit strategy.

"After his 9th Mr. O win"

Didn't realise muscletech planned that far in advance.

I'm pretty sure the OP added that part.

Still, the hurt though. Sheesh.

[BiggerTommorow]

don't think he deserves 8 O's let alone 9. Would be a shame.

[masthead716]

If he's the best man on stage, why not?

[BlackNumero]

In the little snippet I watched seemed very smart and humble. Good that he has an exit strategy. This means he will probably try and time it so he goes out on top, rather than fade away in placings. Also probably cares about health, maybe having kids/family, business, future jobs, etc.

If you are gonna be the champ, you gotta plan like a champ!

[sedrik]

Never understood this mentality, you don't deserve or not deserve anything. You either win or you don't.

This.

[buzzbot]

The amount of comparison and goat threads that would be made if Phil broke the 8 O record.. My word it would be biblical

[Devils212]

Fair play to the guy, not many people have their sights sets so far in the future. Him winning more than 8 Olympias within that time is another story, and pretty unlikely imo.

[B-Neva]

i said this somewhere in a thread could have been here or MD months ago lol

[Big Slim DaDDy]

I'd think if anyone wins 9 they'd be pressured to go for 10 and perhaps do so.

[Musc1eBound]

Just out of sheer curiousity, why would it be unlikely for him to win more than 8? (the field is getting deeper though, so maybe not 8/9 straight but who knows).

For him to achieve such a feat he would need to win 6 out of the 7 remaining years he has left, which doesn't give him much margin of error. I think there's quite a few variables that could affect him e.g. level of competition improving, injury, coming in off, etc, and within that time period there's a decent chance that one might come into play. But to be fair to Phil I wouldn't put it past him, he has a great track record of always showing up at his best, and even though he's been in the game for 12 years he paces himself with only doing a few shows a year. I think this will help him in the long-term.

[dom1987]

Phil is certainly consistent, and I think he will continue to be.I dont think he can improve his physique to much.

It will take another Dorian,Ronnie or Jay to beat Phil and at the moment I dont know who that could be?

Personally I'am not the biggest fan of phil's physique, he seems to be getting thicker on the midsection and his v-taper wont get any better because his bone structure wont allow it and thus creates a less proportional physique when compared to other top pro's. Of course his strong points are so strong his weaker points dont matter as much.

Its gonna take someone with more size, as good conditioning and a better shape. Prince Cedric definitely has better shape then Phil but he needs more muscle and needs to absolutely nail his condition.

Kai can beat Phil, he has beaten him in the past so he can do it again, but until he can come in perfect for the Olympia he will not be winning it.

and then there are the younger and less experienced guys coming up such as John Delarosa, Justin compton and Big Ramy.

I dont think Justin Compton can beat heath yet but they are the same stage weight and height, it would be very interesting to see how Compton fares against Phill and other top 6'ers

The famous Tony Freeman quote is the reason. Essentially width is going to catch up with him sooner or later, RAMY has 50lbs on Heath, muscle mass should be important in bodybuilding, also as others have said who knows what will happen to Muscletech in 9years.

[Big Slim DaDDy]

RAMY has 50lbs on Heath, F

Not too sure about that.

[ROMMYromboid]

Not too sure about that.

I thought Heath was in the low 240 range contest time whilst Ramy is in the upper 280's + with Ramy's size gains even since last year he REALLY could be 50lbs heavier or as a percentage about 30% more muscle than Heath.
