On The Verge Of History - Phil Heath Aims To Win Mr. Olympia Title #8

This was an interview over 13 years in the making. I had the opportunity to interview a completely unknown Phil Heath in the spring o f 2005, shortly after he won the NPC Junior Nationals. Not long after, he won the US A and was immediately signed to an exclusive publishing deal with Weider/AM I, totally cutting off my access to him. Since then, Phil became Mr. Olympia, and continued to hold that title. Soon he will attempt to tie the record of eight wins set first by Lee Haney in 1991 and again by Ronnie  Coleman in 2005. Known as “The Gift,” Phil is possibly the most misunderstood of all the Olympia champions. After all these years, I finally had the chance to speak to him again.

Flex Lewis: The Greatest 212 Bodybuilder of All Time!

Several years ago, James Flex Lewis made it clear that he intended to leave a legacy behind as the greatest 212 pro ever. By the end of the 2017 contest season, he had already firmly established that legacy with six consecutive victories on the Olympia stage. Shortly after this issue goes to press, Flex will have attempted to put the final stamp on his impressive record with a seventh win, and odds are high that he succeeded in that goal. Regardless, Lewis will have established his place in the pantheon of all-time greats of the sport, and its greatest champion of the 212 division. Before continuing with the Flex story, a bit of background on the division itself is in order.
