Phil Heath Leg Extension & Squat Workout - The Road to Mr Olympia 2016

[SuperPH]

is he prepare for 2016 Olympia? btw, this is awesome training

[Loctus]

He said in another video that he just started his off-season prep for this years O, yea. I suppose that he takes the time between his last show in september (or whenever those last ones is) and up until now off, and then goes hard until after the O again. Seems pretty reasonable.

toward the end of the video, he talks about only have 3 leg days left and how energy is getting low. He's also wearing his wedding ring... i have a feeling this may be from 2014 olympia prep.

And he is very lean this far out, probably an old vid

[SWThomas]

Did he have his clothing line in 2014? If not, then this is more recent.

Came in because I'd never seen Phil squat before..still haven't. Smith machine knee bends =/= squats

I've seen a vid of him before he won his first O, front squatting 405 for reps. I remember his spotter or him saying "This one's for Dexter, This one's for Jay" etc for each rep. Cant find it right now but Im sure its around..vids of him doing regular squats too.

front squatting 405 for reps.

You don't see that a lot in the pro ranks. Would be cool to see

i stopped squatting long time ago, my cardiovasuclar system and my muscles both thank me at the same time for that.


squat = if you want noteable ass-cheeks (yes boys i know you check your ass cheeks out in the mirror, and yes their growing from squat not half the other potato glute excercises your doing).


try hack squats, leg extensions, leg presses. only, and youll see a difference.

Yup. He did regular squats and front squats earlier on in his career. He said in a leg training video leading up to this year's Olympia that he usually doesn't do them anymore because he feels them more in his hip flexors than anything else.

Yup. If i remember correctly, it was cus he was a bit dehydrated from the travel or something

So much this. I do squats and deadlifts mostly cus I never really got the form down right until just recently so I never did them for years. Thus, i never really built that base development from them. They hit the glutes better than anything else, and I figure the deads will eventually build up my erectors as well. I added them back in about 3 years ago, but i feel like I barely got the hang of doing them with ok form and feeling the right muscles, not straining my back in a bad way, etc, just last year.

Otherwise, i feel like people probably don't need to do them forever simply because it's a whole lot easier to maintain muscle than to build it. So once the squats and deads build the areas they're gonna build, you don't have to do them anymore or as heavy but will still get stimulation to keep most if not all the muscle you built with them. Similar principle to people who bench heavy for years, but then later they switch to incline and decline or incline and dips.
