Oh baby, Rhoden is a beast.
Has definately put on size on the back/arms and even legs
On the Olympia stage, no one has better legs than him.
Proportions, flow, aesthetics are just amazing.
Kai maybe, but I prefer Shawn
The most aesthetic guy on stage. Every year hands down★ Cristiano Ronaldo is the GOAT crew ★
★ Anthony Joshua future GOAT crew★
★ Dani Alves has signed 2 year contract with Barca with an option for a third year. ★

Posts on William Bonac. Love this guy, got absolutel ripped off last year at O. Placed second last
Dude is fully saturated, conditioning was nuts and the fullness and size to his bellies were insane!
Fair judging he could crack top 5-7

You might be thinking he looks that big just cause of his size, but he is taller than Kai just.
Apparently started in 2008 lifting

No, but yes. Kai biceps is better for sure. And in that pic his legs looks small. Great calves too and the way he hit the pose help him to not look narrow in the chest.
The great thing i see in Phil in that exact pose, are his arms+shoulder, as well as his calves. And still there is a guy with better arms ....
Sorry but to me he dosnt have the perfect package. Not to mention he lose last year Olympia pretty easy, but they gift him. 2012 was pick em up, but 2014 was disgrace.
How should i like a guy who behave like a d***? And when he was worst from the top 4 in the prejud, but they give him perfect score?

Kai has his hams so developded that he doesn't have to let them hang...he can flex them, like ronnie used to do, and shows striations from the side. Phil lets his hams hang from the side, showing no detail whatsoever, for sweep's sake. Kai has better hams than phil from every angle.
Kai has better biceps than phil from the back, no argument there. Front the front (front double), its apples and oranges. I prefer kai's in most pics, but in some pics i prefer phil's.
In the most muscular, i prefer kais peaks. In the side chest, depends on the pic. Imo neither dominates the other in most poses, except from the back, where kai has easily better bis. So i have no issue with someone saying kai has better bis than phil.
Not sure if i agree with kai having better chest then phil. Depends on the show you consider imo. Can find various pics where phils chest looks better than kai's.Last edited by Unbiasedfan; 07-14-2015 at 03:04 AM.

he should have done it last year or at least right after the Olympia. Maybe he thought he could get away with it or he had obligations and guest posings who knows. For Shawn Rhoden and Hide, it saved their physique and made them so much better. For Wolf, it messed up his abs and also he couldn't lift heavy for a pretty long time.

Just because you prefer peaked biceps to more flat type deosnt mean they are better.
The only pose in which peaked is a real advantage imo is back double bi.There the shoulders and forearms mass make peaks moredesirable.
Heaths biceps have fullness and decent height.Kai lacks the fullness.The judges seem to prefer the fullness , and that is what ultimately matters.

Well, duuuh. Do you even understand what apples and oranges mean? jeez...
This is my point: neither dominates the other in most poses (phil lacks peak and kai lacks fullness (relatively to each other)...1 weakness each, so neither dominates the other no matter what you and i prefer), except from the back, where kai has easily better bis. So i have no issue with someone saying kai has better bis than phil.
Ps: you have no idea what the judges prefer. Do you really want me to name that one guy who won 8 O's and happens to be the goat, as an argument why the judges prefer peaks?Last edited by Unbiasedfan; 07-14-2015 at 01:51 PM.
