About Phil Heath

Phil Heath is a professional bodybuilder and current Mr Olympia. He was born in Washington. He in 2002 entered in the bodybuilding as the professional athlete. He won his first title in 2005 which is National Physique Committee (NPC) USA championships. He in 2008 first time competed in the Mr Olympia competition where he placed 3rd which is very impressive for a new comer. And because of his awesome first appearance he become the favorite to win the title in 2009. But what you plan for future is not go well every time and due to stomach virus he lost his weight and takes 5th placed in the 2009 Mr Olympia. In 2010 he come back strongly and taking the 2nd place in the competition which was the last win for the great Jay Cutler. In 2011 the runner up of 2010 competition beats the champion of that year and Phil wins the first ever Mr Olympia title beating Jay in 2011. From 2011 to 2015 the Phil won the all 5 competition and made a record of winning 5 title in a row after Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. The 5 times Mr Olympia is still in good shape and getting ready for the next year. 

Though the win of 2015 was not a clean one because of the involvement of politics as his one of the biggest rival Kai Greene did not take participate in this year event. According to Kai he was not allow to participate in the event because of the backstage politics but the management said that Kai did not sign the contract because of the reason only known to Kai. Dexter Jackson placed 2nd in the event. The former Mr Olympia was not in a shape to come above Shawn Rhoden who was third in 2014 Mr Olympia. Some people think that the purpose to give Dexter the 2nd place is just to make Phil look bigger but the truth is only known to him. For the fans this year's competition is a disappointment because the challenger Kai who is right now in the best shape of his life was not the part of 2015 Mr Olympia to challenge the champ Phil Heath. 

Phil also appears in five movies of bodybuilding namely:

1. The Gift

2. The Gift Unwrapped

3. Journey To The Olympia

4. Becoming the number 13

5. Operation Sandow

Before the 2015 Mr Olympia Phil was in spotlight due to his comment on the greatest of all time Arnold about his legs. In a respond to a tweet Phil said that as we all know Arnold had no legs. Being a professional this comment on the man who done so much for the sport is very childish or even eccentric behavior of Phil. After that many people argue with Phil on tweeter and he block them one by one. And now his rival Kai have more followers then him.
