Discussion surrounding Phil Heath has popped up recently, focused on the potential of him competition at the 2019 Mr. Olympia. With him winning the Mr. O 7x, he would not need to qualify for this year, as anyone who wins the Mr. O can compete for life, plus he placed 2nd last year, which would qualify him immediately. This discussion came from his girl posting about how he is gonna be beginning a diet. Secondly, a french youtuber/bodybuilder claimed (key word claimed) that Phil said he gonna do an 8 week diet, see how he is looking at the end, then decide if he is going to compete then. This would seem to more likely of a case now that there is the post that he is beginning a diet.

Now, Phil hasn’t always gotten along with the media. His long history of beef with Nick Miller from Nick’s Strength and Power on YouTube is a prime example of this. Now, he his girls post could be just something to fuck with the media. People could be like “OMG? HE DIETING? HE GONNA COMPETE!!!” While he is just like “Nah fam, I’mma just dieting”. I honestly think this is a likely explanation. Being 100% honest, I don’t like Phil & I know I am biased against him. I think he looked great at the ’11 Olympia and that’s one of the best Mr. O physiques of all time, but I think he is a jerk. For me, his beef with NSP makes it difficult for me to believe any stuff he hints at, as I always think he wants to fuck with the media.

What do you guys think? You Think Phil is gonna compete this year? Why or why not? Have a beautiful day and go make some gains.
