Phil Heath – 2020 Competition?

Phil Heath. Phil…… Phil……. Phil. Every news story with this man since the 2018 Mr. O contest is big. From Stealing the watch, wondering why he lost and finally, speculation on when he is going to be competing next. The final story in that list being recent news. Will he compete in the 202 Mr. Olympia?

There are 4 opposing views on this topic. Firstly, Phil Heath will make a return at the 2020 Mr. O. Secondly, he will return to the Mr. O at some point, we just aren’t sure when. Thirdly, Phil will return to compete eventually, just not at the Mr. Olympia. Then fourth and finally, Phil Heath is retired from competing.

In my opinion, the most likely reality we are facing is that Phil Heath is retired from competing. He had a 7 year reign as Mr. Olympia. The prime of his competitive career was 2011-2014. From 2015-2018, he progressively had a lower quality physique. To be tied for the 3rd most Mr. Olympia titles, you have to be a smart man. Phil clearly would realize his prime is behind him. This is the primary reason why I think Phil Heath is retired from competing.

Robbie Robinson Vs. Phil Heath

Phil Heath is back in the news again. For what? No he didn’t steal anything, His gut is the reason of course. On the instagram post about him beginning a diet, an IG user said that with the gut, Phil ain’t ever gonna win another title. Our boi, Robbie, agreed, replying that the gut got to go.

I am on board with Robbie here, the gut on Phil needs to be gone if he gonna win anything.

Phil Heath Competing In 2019?

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.
