Six-time Mr. Olympia Phil Heath Is More Afraid Of Himself Than He Is Of His Competitors—afraid Of What He’s Still Capable Of Achieving. At 37 Years Old, He Hasn’t Peaked Yet, According To Heath, And Fans And Foes Alike Should Fear What He Will Bring To The Stage. Here’s His Take On Last Year’s Mr. Olympia Top Five.
NONE OF LAST YEAR’S MR. O TOP FIVE HAS COMPETED IN 2017. WORRIED ABOUT SURPRISES?
No.
WHY COULDN’T SHAWN RHODEN BEAT YOU LAST YEAR?
Not good enough. Never was, never will be. Best evidence of that is the contest tour that followed last year’s Olympia, which I wasn’t part of. If Shawn was the threat he says he is, he would have won those shows instead of losing them to Ramy, Dexter, and William. Saying he beat me in 2016 is disrespectful to all of them, too. They’re the ones he should be losing sleep over.
SINCE 2014, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING RAMY WILL ONE DAY BEAT YOU.
