Would love to try Factor, but your promo code only works on the US site, it'd be great if it worked on the Canadian site as well.

CHRIS PLEASE INTERVIEW KAI GREENE!!!!!! That man is a well of wisdom.

[@BMC__]

I always just assumed Phil Heath was a bit of a villain because of how he was commonly regarded, it's really refreshing to see him sit down and have a deep, long-form conversation with someone who asks good questions. Excellent work once again, Chris.

[@seemssafe2995]

he just filled the persona once it was going that direction. but yeah solid dude

[@onurpur6468]

Phil at his peak was simply unbeatable. Always loved his villain aura!

[@kss9131]

Love the "multiply by zero" conversation. So much wisdom in knowing when to say "no". Doesn't get talked about enough because we're a "yes" culture, but saying "no" to one thing is saying "yes" to something else.

[@Fanaro]

Dang it, Phil is 10x more impressive than I thought, and I already had him in high regard.

[@taylortorrenceofficial]

Thank you Chris and thank you Phil. This was such a great conversation. Newfound respect for Phil

[@user_-qg6yd]

Chris is one of us, and we're all grateful for your work. Thank you

[@seanneal6359]

Omg. I used to think he was so arrogant. But now I understand he truly believes in himself. And to give yourself promotion to believe in yourself and push your boundaries for no one else but yourself. ❤

[@manletsoup]

Phil Heath is the perfect person to interview. Thank you for this interview!

[@mrwavey4801]

Phil is the definition of a winner nothing else matters but winning you can just tell how determined and how hard he must of worked

[@Day-ZDuke]

I agree, but there’s a weird paradigm at play. No one gets to the level of success that Phil attained without working hard..... But he’s known as The Gift for several reasons. One being how well his body responds to training and gear. Phil famously had to work out less hard than other competitors. He could go off season for a period, then go on cycle for a couple months and just explode with muscle, way easier than most people can

[@midhuns4707]

No matter what others say , Phil is the greatest of his generation . And there's a lot we can learn from him. Thanks Will for bringing him in .

[@FreddotheWheelchairGuy]

Will?

His names John bro

[@abijahmaniaco]

The right interviewer makes all the difference. Well done, Chris. 👏🏼

[@mattnemec2234]

God seeing Phil on modern wisdom is such a crossover my favourite podcast apart from Rogan and one of my favourite bodybuilders of all time. So thankful for you Chris ❤

[@BrianDeCosta]

Phil's a great dude. I've seen people getting on him for being arrogant, however I just see a smart, self-aware dude who sees his own strengths. Guy is truly a gift. Great convo

[@MyLocalGunShop]

You are knocking these outta the park one after another - keep killing it brotha

[@WillbWriting]

🎉 agreed.

[@Gilmourized]

Every time I listen to Phil I learn something new about life. He makes me think. Thank you

[@Madara946]

Now that you got Phil on I hope to see you bring Kai Greene on in a future episode! Great content as always!💪🏽

[@chadibelhidane6420]

I really really appreciate all what you're doing chris, to educate and entertain us. Keep up the good work man!

[@jacenattybodspiritpath1111]

Thought provoking, intelligent and motivational. Thankyou Chris and Phil, much love brothers!

[@cubencis]

Great interview. This is my first time watching your channel. I was definitely on the Kai bandwagon and really wanted to see Phil lose for so many years. I see that he’s a lot more intelligent than I gave him credit for and deserving.

[@pierrebenites2115]

As much as a kai fan I was growing up - Phil is a great champion and interview.

[@shark11175]

What a LEGEND!! Nothing but Excellence. To see him in his prime was UNBELIEVABLE

[@Asquared316]

Hes achieved a lot in his life. Hes got extreme levels of confidence and self belief. He talks like a champion of bodybuilding. Hes smart articulate as well. U cant expect a person like this to fit or to influence others opinion. So people can feel that he comes across as agressive but , Honestly i feel phil doesnt get enough credit for what hes achieved. People need to stop nit picking on the way he speaks or portrays himself and just need to learn from this champion life. Concentrate on the things hes done, and u will be inspired. I wish him a great life. Go Phil ❤

[@ganeshbala92]

I can listen to him all day. Such a cool dude

[@Retiredmagician1]

I have a newfound appreciation for Phil after this. This is the gold standard for podcasting.

[@FreddotheWheelchairGuy]

Those forearms are bigger than my thighs! Although to be fair, I’ve been skipping leg day 😂

[@Sk0lzky]

I could probably use them as weights for my side delt workouts >

[@kenadams5504]

Skipping "roid" day.

[@Meixsel]

Man i absolutely Loved this podcast... i think i better not say that i'm a fan of phil heath, but a follower. in the last moments of podcast when he said about making a legacy, i'm just gonna say that, you've already done it phil heath... you've changed my life because you changed my mentality and mindset towards competing, believing in my self , and knowing my self more than anything else to be able to beat my self. i just wish you get what you want from life like most the times you did, i hope to see more of you on instagram or youtube.

[@jameshinkle3318]

I have a new appreciation for Phil Heath after watching this. I guess I never realized what an intelligent, introspective human being he really is. His story is both tragic and uplifting. The tragedy is that he wasn’t allowed to just enjoy his success without all the negativity manufactured by people who didn’t even know him. The uplifting part of it all is the inner strength he possesses that allowed him to focus, and refocus, and channel all his energy into manifesting and creating his own destiny. I have been a fan of bodybuilding since the 1980s and I admit I was never fully invested in Phil’s reign. There is no disputing his greatness as a champion bodybuilder but now I do t think anyone can question his greatness as a human. I am thankful that I had the experience of watching this and hearing his stories. Good stuff!

[@MA-id1hr]

Mike Israetel anyone? 😂

[@maciejchmielewski2240]

What about him

[@liamburns8554]

This was phenomenal and inspirational. We are all scared of locking our own potential.. how scary is that

[@kgopotso1958]

ThanQ Chris for this interview Phill he’s the Champion on stage and offstage. Not forgetting the Camera quality🔥✅it’s…stunning ❤

[@aaronhumphrey3670]

Such an honest, inspiring and thought provoking episode!!! Thanks Chris for having this convo with Phil! I needed this today!

[@Ejlovato]

Love him or hate him, you have to respect him. His mindset is something else and he dropped some true gems in this interview. I have always been a fan of his and this was a great interview.

[@teepaint6076]

Never multiply by zero is fucking gold ✨️👌🏾 thank u Chris, fire interview Phil 💪🏾🔥

[@archducky7492]

Agree, lowkey best advice for life!

[@user-bm2oi6cd4p]

Its not often i find someone entertaining, inspirational, likable, admirable, i could go on and on, thank you, both of you, but especially phil heath, phil you are incredible, and such a rararity, i also forgot to mention charasmatic that magic undefinable thing that attracts people like a magnet, combine that with all your other gifts and accomplishments, and WOW amazing, you woke me up and made me dream again, thank you phil, god bless

[@heatherdufour6727]

LOVE this podcast! Nicely done, very informative and motivating! Also enjoyed the great sound output and the professionalism.

[@RTree613]

Great interview, probably the best one yet with Phil. All are great, but both of you are keeping it 1000%. This is golden!

[@christianstreit950]

Love this type of stuff!! Who would have expected this to go so deep? Not only is this guy on another level in terms of work ethic and champion's mindset, he is also very honest and really understands how limiting beliefs can hold all of us back and he explains how to overcome them.... If you want to do your friends a big favor, share this with all of them! Great interview, thanks for loading up! 💪👍

[@Tom-V]

I ALWAYS liked Phil and Kai during and before their rivalry. But I remember the first time I heard Phil speak for an extended period of time was on Mark Lobriner's channel (tiger fitness) in 2014. I love listening to what Phil has to say!

[@Kaden270]

LOVE the support you are showing bodybuilding!!! Keep it coming! 💪

[@SteversIO]

Hahaha. Super Saiyan analogy. Thank you Phil! Now all us little kids in their 30s and 40s can understand 🎉

[@gnarlygenome]

I just ended this up. I watched this interview in 4 cardio sessions of 30 mins 🔥🔥🔥.

[@WillbWriting]

Chris, it’s like you write dialogue exactly for life and the things we are receiving as human. When he started talking about fast and furious and hitting the Nos too soon… modern wisdom!

[@ShreyasGaneshs]

The gift is the greatest nickname of all time and it’s the perfect nickname for Phil this guy was a bodybuilding god

[@khululegacy]

Always been a fan of Phil, I do think he's misunderstood because of how strong his self-belief is, how determined he is and how openly he is willing to go after anything he wants, personally I think he's excellent! This was a great interview.

[@mistagto]

People love to hate on people who make them feel inferior. Phil’s confidence made him a target for the weak.

[@colttrains]

We’ve been so spoiled with these interviews lately. Heath, Cutler, Coleman, Bumstead, Hogan, Flair. Old, but gold- Zane, Platz, Haney, Arnold, Yates. Best videos on YT

[@HenricGallardo]

Wow, what a beautiful beautiful conversation! Some moments almost had me in tears, thanks Chris and Phil for sharing this!

[@vladorilje8878]

Its nice to listen to phil talk about everything, not just bodybuilding, awesome interview.

[@Robby_Camarato]

I was at the Cleveland show in 2014 when Phil was speaking. My first ever competition. I saw his arms and almost quit bodybuilding 😂😂 His personality is pure dominance. Thank you for this interview 💪✊️

[@tampajep]

This was kind of a breakthrough interview for me. It’s the first time that I’ve ever found Heath to be relatable, probably because he didn’t seem angry, something that always seems to be simmering just beneath the surface with him. This time he seemed honest and sincere without that rough edge that made him difficult to watch. And by rough edge I mean that prior to this he always seemed very defensive when asked any question at all, as if he was afraid that everyone was out to get him. As for the interview, I thought the questions were interesting and about the things that bodybuilders want to hear, and I thought his answers were honest and sincere. He finally came across as a regular guy, something that I think will endear him to bodybuilding fans like me. Reply

[@drewzcutz1]

I’m here to say Great questions followed by great conversation, especially on more than just bodybuilding. Phil’s wise, we can all learn from him. Learn to see past from what he’s done and look where he’s headed 🔥@philheath

[@CoachedbyJW]

Wow! Just wow! This is exactly why Phil will be the best to ever do it!! On and off stage, a true champion 👊🏻

[@stevendilon2164]

More bodybuilders and more people from the sport in general. ❤ Good podcast , Phill is smart and very good communicator

[@Portuguesewolf]

Very impactful conversation and work done by both of you. Thank you!

[@real_cthomass]

Holy, the video quality is insane.

[@aidenmayberry1]

Chris is able to ask all the right questions

[@REP300]

Thank you for giving bodybuilding a louder voice. We all appreciate it.

[@WillbWriting]

The end of Phil’s 10 exercise… givng the sauce!

[@usmanasafghafoor]

What a great conversation. I never realized the intention behind Phil's outlook from exercise to life. This is why Phil is 7x Mr O winner. Also gotta respect Kai Greene for being the only person to call Phil after his defeat, and basically saying something correctly, No one beat the Phil Heath he knew and battled against. no one.

[@Thewow9430]

The insight to my favorite body builders that I grew up to in Walmart magazines while my mom shopped, 28 now and this is great.

[@aerodynamicbullshark]

man i had no idea phil was so intelligent . mad respect.

[@tudorm6838]

In an era of massiveness, Phil Heath gave us as a gift :) harmony, quality, and aesthetics (at least 4 years out of the 7 and all the previous years).

[@sppank]

Another banger. Thanks for this one

[@andreimunteanu3389]

Great podcast 1:42:48 Phil's right forearm

[@jrmaddu1]

I’ll be honest, I was one of those guys that hated that he got away with having a bad midsection in his olympias, but it’s humbling to see how much he’s grown and hearing about how passionate he is about the sport

[@MellowMutts270]

This was an absolutely wonderful eye opening mindset changing interview. Thank you.

[@PseudonymAliase]

Wow i need to listen to this everyday!

[@chrisivers7600]

Chris What you said about the reverse role model as an only child myself. Explains why I grew up so fast as a young teen! Phil what an amazing story and inside look at bodybuilding/life and being mindful and caring

[@lllforgelll2421]

Seems like a genuine dude some great and helpful insights into muscle focus in his training. After last night I can corroborate that his leg work out tips definitely hits where it needs to hahaha.

[@matheusmediote828]

What a beautiful interview. Great job you both thanks very much for so much clean-cut information/motivation

[@Mr.bl0w]

This interview is astonishing ! I have learn so much with this. Mann Phil is really Him.

[@JousefM]

Get Kai Greene on!!

[@musiolikart]

13:04 the MK analogy is pure gold ! Face yourself. Thanks for this podcast, best Dominik

[@TechOutAdam]

I truly wish he would've went for his 8th just one more time last year. I was shocked when he didn't. It's all good. Most men will never, ever even win one Mr. Olympia but Heath is the goat. Love that he's from my home state!

[@diaz.jefferson]

His forearms are from another planet. It looks like a second arm attached to its primary one. Outstanding!

[@evanscala3463]

This is one of the best so far. Gotta get flex wheeler on here

[@JohnPap.Struggler]

Awesome podcast and thank you for bringing those gems! Appreciate your work !

[@kaishibruv]

The sentence about bodybuilders nowadays ''They are taking drugs more than actually doing the work'' hits hard man and you can really feel that compared to Ronnie's generation , people just want to take shortcuts and make their way up there..Being human nowadays is overrated !

[@d_bribe]

Loved this one as much as most of your podcasts, Chris. We definitely see the quality of the production, where you even make a different intro in your ads for each video which is very seamless. One minor thing to improve (to make it perfect) is that the camera on Phil was a bit wobbly at the begining. Other than that, totally nailing it lately, man.

[@chillydoog]

Why, my dear friend, I must declare with the deepest and most profound respect, that the vision before us is none other than the most exquisitely articulated and magnificently presented meatball I have ever had the privilege to behold.

[@MZell6789]

Great Guest. Great Host. Thanks fellas appreciate it

[@23183773]

Phil is a very smart guy and in my opinion up there with Ronnie. Either hate him or love him. Respect

[@WAfortunes]

Chris always brings on the best guests.

[@doomertube7050]

Ive always liked Phil but less than 3 minutes into the pod I can confidently say I love this guy. We could all be a Gift if only we poured into our purpose with the intent of lifting each other up

[@intensity.density2208]

Phil is a legend, always will be. He is a once in a multiple generation bodybuilder that's extremely gifted, and not just on stage, or the gym. Phil set a standard so high, especially in 2012 and 2013 that will not be matched by any of the best pros now or the up and coming guys for many years yet. That guy hasn't started competing yet, he's probably not born yet. Those guys come around every decade or so. Just look at the history of the sport. Phil is great and he's one of the greatest ever.

[@grimvlextz9616]

This is the best interview I’ve ever seen

[@LiveLongLiveHappy]

NGL... Watching Phil v Kai era / battle was legendary, i remember watching how hardcore Kai was training and hated Phil as a cocky douche, but looking back it was amazing, you needed a hero and anti-hero and their battles was that. Looking back, you dont see it these days..

[@NyashaM]

A living legend "The Gift" Phil Heath. 7 time winner without the politics and no injuries

[@Growth_Mindset73]

This is the Most aesthetic studio you have ever made a video in, Good job Chris!

[@luisgonzalez9043]

How many things do I have learned from Phil? Many! You have no idea? GOAT mentality...

[@Cormaz17]

Ronnie & Jays rivalry was bigger.

[@khalilhannah4005]

this interview was so powerful for overall life development

[@BryanGrier]

I am not considering bodybuilding on any level, but this interview is getting me fired up! Appreciate this content. Thank you. To hear Phil Heath describe how he dominated with his preparation starting at 1:16:36 is inspiring. I imagine that he knows his body better than anyone else and for him to recognize right away that the methods of others would be stupid for him to replicate demonstrates incredible accuracy with his view of his needs at the time. Awesome to watch this man nerd out about his different modalities and living in Denver, Colorado for the increased altitude stimulus. Sounds like he thought of everything!

[@pieohpie]

What a Gigachad Those 2 hours went by so fast, it was a delight to listen to him lol

[@goodtimeholzyg4310]

Holy shit. Never heard Phil speak before. What a badass. Amazing conversation. For a group of men that are stereotypically unintelligent pro bodybuilders are have some amazing insights.

[@daleyraymond4447]

Absolutely loved this podcast. Nothing but the truth from start to finish. 💪🏾💯💯💯

[@hamzamoustainbillah9643]

HANDS DOWN one of the best if the best podcast ever well fking done

[@simonyang4792]

Phil’s analysis on Kai is spot on in terms of physique!

[@IvanOrdell]

This was so inspiring! Also, this is the only channel where I don't rewind the sponsored segment :) Partly cause of the good presentation and partly out of curiosity for the product - knowing that Chris wouldn't advertise nonsense to us.
