Just saw his girlfriend post this on IG. It would explain the protruding navel, and the protruding gut to a lesser degree.

Hernias can be caused by a large, distended stomach; not the other way around.

strangulation.
in other words, it depends on the hernia type, but a hernia actually could lead to a larger protrusion outside of the hernia itself (i.e. the entire anterior abdominal wall). it's unlikely that Phil was dealing with something of quite that nature, but just to answer your guys' questions, that would be an example of the hernia being the cause40: 4.3s

This is from 2015.
Hes won without abs and that belly button sticking out for a couple of years now. Its just this year he had a huge gut, which had nothing to do with a hernia.
Im not surprised Phil has surrounded himself with bunch of "yes men" tho based on how bad he is at taking criticism.Music Crew

His bellybutton has been the same pretty much his entire career. If he has a hernia, it doesn't show in the pics. But hernias, depending on the diagnosis, can definitely cause bloating and other gastrointestinal issues. If he was in pain during the Olympia, that would explain why he relaxed his stomach so much in between poses. Again, I'm just speculating here!

It's absolutely true. His bellybutton was always sticking out. Whether it's more or less, that depends on the photo, pose, and whether he is bloated or not. Obviously it has grown a bit, but it's always been protruding outwards.
