PHIL HEATH THROWS DOWN THE GAUNTLET. This man is READY for the 2014 Mr. O!

[RockyTheKid]

I freaking LOVE this man's attitude!


11:50 "...I'm gonna kick the sh*t outta some ass this year at the Olympia".

[bartosh]

We should just give him the award at the start, walk him off stage, and then have an actual battle for the rest of the placings 2-15. Basically the same thing when he gets sent back from comparisons immediately

[TropicalSunset]

Good for him. I hope he brings a better package to this year's Olympia. His physique has not really improved in the last 3 years.

[iForce Dave]

the guy interviewing him..... his videos have been posted before on here I think right?

Yeah, that's Jerry Ward aka Bios3training on Youtube.

When the placings are fixed and you know months in advance of your win, I suppose you can say stuff like that.

An on Kai and full, ripped Ramy would push Phil to his limits easily. So even if he edged a legitimate win, it would be by no means 'kicking the **** out of some ass'

[miscing4life]

Ramy has surpassed Phil Heath but he won't win, if Kuclo can beat Beyeke nothing's impossible

Does that mean a 90% Kai, 100% Kai, 120% Kai or even the fabled 150% Kai??? :O :O

That's something nobody knows....

[antish]

wow people commenting as if the guy did not deserve his 3 sandows!

[Musc1eBound]

Might have already been posted. Hadn't seen it yet though.

Chest workout March 25th



Also, awesome interview. Both by Bios3 and Phil.

I wouldn't say "surpassed", but let's say that if Ramy was put next to Phil, perceptions will be altered.

And yes, agreed on your second point.

[Larfleeze]

Cool story. We all know he's going to lose and be gifted the trophy (again) no matter what.

Down from Rio.... Note Head Judges shirt..... thanks for coming everyone. Shows winner is already been picked, lol.

Can you imagine that being tolerated in literally any other sport/competition? If the UCL final ref was seen wearing a Real shirt with his arm round Ronaldo he'd be out on his arse instantly

Dam n….. That's messed up. Seriously.


p.s. coming from one who thinks Phil deserved all 3 O's.

Not really. Phil's always been narrow. Why do you need Ramy to stand next to him to know Ramy is bigger and wider? Phil's stood next to plenty of bigger, wider guys and it's never mattered. He's still won. For anyone thinking Ramy can beat Phil this year, that's a bold prediction. He will have to first get past Arnold Classic winner Dennis Wolf, Kai Greene and improve upon last year's presentation of his physique to move up 8 placings. None of those which I just listed are small tasks.

[bartosh]

is there even an overall email/method of contact to make a complaint to the ifbb organization? I want to compile that picture+others and compare this to examples of legitimate sports not allowing this and try to get an official response

I agree with all this as well. It's not the big man show or the wide man show. Plus you can never predict anything really. Some have greater potential sure. But they have also not placed, fell out of the top 5, etc. So the current Mr O is and will always be the man to beat. Everything else is best of luck and try your best.

You're going to complain that one of the judges is wearing one of Phil's tee shirts?

[fishnbrah]

the head judge, wears the top competitors apparel? strong everything

[bartosh]

You're going to complain that one of the judges is wearing one of Phil's tee shirts?

nope. how one of the judges goes to weddings of competitors and ask if that's a conflict of interest.

[ROMMYromboid]

I would think that Heath promises a good percentage of his winnings to the judges, i would estimate 20-30% is shared, that could easily be 10K per judge - not bad for a few hours work with no need to lift a single weight. It happens everyday in politics, so I do not see why this is not happening on bodybuilding.

TEAM FAIR JUDGING

[Larfleeze]

Complaining about a crooked bastard to his crooked bastard buddies..pretty much the definition of "futile"

meh. i just want some sort of reply

[endurancell]

Someone should start a petition or something similar to this to impeach Lee Thompson. Just for shiggles.

Athletes, due to their unique physiques, can alter perceptions, it's not as objective as you make it sound.

Ramy vs Phil will not give the same impression, on certain aspects, as Ramy vs Wolf or Ramy vs Kai.

Even though it's objective that he's being dwarfed/out-widthed/etc., "how much" is the variable here.

lol never even did this to ronnie. If they did I think people would still say it's unfair. And most years he actually did kick the **** out of his competition's asses.

at least keep him in the comparisons. the judges should be respectful to the other competitors. i don't care if it's ronnie coleman competing in his prime in an npc show. don't sent people back individually within moments of comparisons. I do believe phil won last year but i really hate how the judges just said "oh hi, here, bye."
