PHIL HEATH INTERVIEW: WHY I SHOULD'VE WON! (Part 1)

[@LeeDaHitman]

See this is why i say DAVE Palumbo is the man. Much respect to Phil Heath too for coming on

[@TraumaER]

Lee Da Hitman Beats Dave’s been the man. The only reason he doesn’t have millions of subs is because idiots would rather watch other idiots when it comes to KZbin Fitness. When Dave was on MD, he had the best weekly podcast in the country. 💯

[@JoelSatch]

All he needs to say is “Shawn was the better man on that day” and he’ll earn more respect from the fans. He doesn’t have the balls to humble himself.

[@GameOver321]

I think this was a tough olympia! Phil dominated everything but the mid section. Shawn had some of the worst arms by any Mr Olympia as well as lower back. I think Phil was better than shawn but the ifbb simply couldn't "gift" him again due to his gut. I think Roelly should have won, Phil 2nd shawn 3rd...

[@smarty-br8og]

I can't believe that Phil Heath doesn't know how a side triceps pose is judged! 7 times mr. Olympia and he still thinks they are judging the triceps muscle only?! Even the amateurs know it's not being judged that way... If your gut sticks out and your rival has better details in the side leg and glutes - you are losing it man...

[@beareroflife]

Thats the same thing i was thinking. Im an amateur bodybuilder and they judge u this way in the amateur shows. Smh . Phil is being a knucklehead

[@marijancorluka4500]

Phil's gut is still (relatively) in check in the ST and his tricep is miles ahead of Shawn's. Phil blows him out of water in the triceps and shoulders and overall density/graininess/fulness. Not to mention better hamstrings too. Shawn didn't even hit a side tricep. Phil wins it without a doubt.

[@robertwilson5305]

No hes saying the traditional way of hitting the pose should be judged. Its a side shot and he wins from the side.

[@letitbEat1]

why is phil laughing when mentioning roelly? Roelly was sick and even better than the gut.

thank you DAVE phil is so dense why is he arguing his gut?!? its the whole package man, you dont JUST look at the tricep on the side tricep.

[@edgarramos1499]

If its the whole package Phil beat Shawn in most poses. Don't get me wrong I am glad Shawn won but in almost every other body part Phil dominated. Shawn was insanely conditioned but Phil was also shredded.

[@wayneh1562]

Joe Lodestein if its the who package how did shawn win with not having a mr o quality back and arms ,i thought it you said its a total package ???

[@RC23RC21]

Phil is talking about how he feels he won and why and being upset, but for some reason he cannot see Kai feels the same way the years he feels he beat Phil, the year Shawn felt he beat Phil. It’s wild how Phil now sees it bc it happened to him and he lost and yet still doesn’t get it. Good for Dave not falling for the bs guilt trips. Phil beat Jay and Jay handled it like a man. Funny how suddenly Phil wants to play victim bc he lost while when he was winning he never once looked at any of the arguments he’s making as the same arguments Kai, Shawn and even Winklaar from this year could make for beating Phil

[@Bitcoinpapi]

RC exactly what i'm saying. He's so arrogant and needs to just shut up and be humble.

[@jamesbruh8437]

its not the same at all. kai actually had body parts that could compete. Shawn had nothing but abs.

[@jamesbruh8437]

[@fattdamon1980]

I'm glad to see someone other than me that wasn't that impressed with Shaun. I'm glad that the guts are being discouraged but I felt Roelly was better all around.

[@adamr8878]

It really shows Phil’s character when he laughed at Roelly winning the people’s choice. Phil, Roelly Winklaar is more impressive to look at than you now. Sorry to say. And Dave was wrong by saying that people don’t like Phil because he doesn’t do interviews and people don’t know him. I think I actually dislike him more now.

[@MrImaghost]

[@hugster2000]

I think Phil needs to listen to Dorian Yates, when Dorian said the reason guys like Kevin with great triceps don't beat him in the side tricep, is because it's about the whole package. It doesn't matter that it's called the side tricep. It's a pose which takes into consideration everything. Phil is delusional and so immature about all this. Congrats to Dave for being the only interviewer so far to have balls to challenge Phil on his delusions.

[@fidelsankar5455]

Right! But you cannot hit a side tricep from the front to show your mid section.. is like phil show triceps from the back.. it’s SIDE triceps

[@ccmdoc]

Well, as a Physician, I can tell you this 'Hernia' issue has NOTHING to do w/ Phil's abdominal distension problem. A hernia is purely a 'Local' defect issue. It does NOT cause all the other intaabdominal organs to increase in size, as he is insinuating, resulting in globally distended abdomen. If the implanted Mesh he had surgically placed last year failed and teared, it would be very obvious w/ protrusion of the intestine through the abdominal wall defect to the superficial skin surface. You would see an out-pouching or bubble defect around the umbilicus or 'Belly Button'. Until he acknowledges the true, underlying cause to his problem, no surgery in this world will change what has happened. I'm curious to hear his explaination, in 1-2 years, if despite have the hernia repaired, his abdomen remains grossly enlarged and he is unable to win.

Basically i do agree with Phil,the fact he dominated in side and rear poses. Glad that he listened to our video with Milos Sarcev and Dave Palumbo. Good luck to his next operation,on the 18th of October

[@mikylenaidoo1779]

Absolutely agree... So much for , "to beat the champ ,you gotta knock him out" .... Shawn winning was more of a political move in my opinion , don't get me wrong ,I love Shawn's physique ,it's beautiful ... But Phil's condition and development completely outshadows anything Shawn can throw at him except the midsection ... Phil will win again if he gets the stomach Fixed

[@panama1942]

He didn't dominate... Roelly was better in side poses. Shawn won because of abs, legs and conditioning and overall flow but it's not like his back was absolute shit. He looked wide from the back and still looked good in the side poses too even if it wasn't as good as Phil's. He managed to make his side tricep look aesthetic and he played the pose to his strong points by emphasizing his legs in that pose too. His side chest is definitely formidable too.

[@Imperialbbuilding]

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

Shawn knocked him out and stomped on his head lol. The look he gave his gut was the knock out blow

[@richardjohnson909]

Phil has to get to grips with reality. The goalpost has shifted. Size, hardness, graininess are still very important but lines, conditioning, symmetry and the complete artwork are prime criteria. In the critical eyes of the vast majority of people, Shawn Rhoden presented a better total package that gave him the competitive advantage hence he took the Sandow. If Phil can reduce his heavy, bulky midsection and maintain most of his size and conditioning, this would enhance his aesthetics and he'll be champion again. Can he do it? Well, let's wait and see what metal he is made of.

[@notatechguy1209]

I wish they would just stop asking him questions about losing the Mr. O. He's too sensitive to give an honest answer. He asked how can a guy win the side triceps pose based on his abs, as if the only thing that is looked at on any pose is that one area. He has been doing this long enough to know that you are judged head to toe on every pose. If its front double you don't just flex your arms and let everything else hangout. Part of the reason he use to smoke people on the front double was not just because his arms were the best (witch they were) but because his midsection and V shape was also one of the best, so that means his abs and lats were helping him win the front double bicep not just his bicep alone. I think he is just not a good loser and will never be able to answer these questions honestly. Phil was a great champion, but went away from the things that got him there. He tried to fight off guys like Ramy and Kai by adding muscle instead of just coming in razor sharp for too long, then when he tried to come in razor sharp this year the damage to the midsection was already done and ruined what was one of the best bodies this sport has ever seen. The size game isn't for everyone, he had the perfect body in 2009, 2010. I hope he will be able to come back stronger.

[@JayB2]

Exactly. And there even was a KZbin video that came out after this one where one of the judges did say the Abs in the side poses were taken into account. They dont just judge a single body part in a pose.

[@ComicsLegend]

I do agree that Rhoden's side tricep wasn't as good. Rhoden appears to be missing his outer tricep.

[@fatboitino2]

You have to give Phil credit here. He is believable. This is the first time I feel Phil has spoke "personably" in an interview. Just keeping it real instead of speaking phylisophically and saying some BS sometimes that comes off verbose. Phil have the doctor do an interview and explanation. This debate ends. Take a year, heal up, and come back bad ass and show the haters how you can bring a great waist line. I believe Rohden won because he had a better overall physique and looked to have better conditioning on stage and thats what won. I gained some respect back for Phil coming onto a show where the person isn't necessarily his biggest fan and has spoken crap about him publicly, that is not easy and don't try to make an excuse for this fact. End of the day I love Dave's interviews because he is REAL and HONEST. I think Phil try to bring that instead of some of his extended verbose answers where it sounds like he enjoys himself talking and the people will come around. Remember after a first impression it takes 7 more times to change that idea someone has of you. Much respect to both guys in the interview here.

Awesome interview! Respect Phil even more for interviewing with his nemesis RX Team! Please please have Chris Aceto ask him questions and debate him!

[@franciscomodesto6305]

To me Phil is delusional. He believes he wins the side Tri pose because of better triceps. But they don't only judge the muscle named on the mandatory pose. Example: front double biceps is judged on how your entire front body looks in that pose, not just your biceps. They look at your chest fullness, shoulder to width v taper, quad sweep, deep ab cuts etc. If you had great biceps but no legs or abs, or no v taper, YOU WOULD LOSE THAT POSE. Plain and simple.

[@DJYC21215]

Has an IFBB Judge ever said this directly? because until they actually explain the criteria it's anyone's guess who wins what with these judges. How does Phil, who looked worse last year with with a perfect score in 2017, but then Loses this year despite looking better than last year?

[@franciscomodesto6305]

@@DJYC21215 but no one challenged Phil last year. No one last year looked as good as Shawn looked this year..

[@DJYC21215]

And this is why an IFBB Judge should come out and state the Criteria. You can make the argument that no one Challenged Phil last year. But you could also make the Argument Kai green Challenged him several years yet never dethroned Phil. One of those years in 2014 when Phil still had a gut problem. Now if an IFBB Judge comes out and states that Shawn roden in the 2018 Olympia > Kai green from 2014 Olypmia, and explains why, ok then we have a criteria. But until then, it's really just a bunch of people taking random guesses. If you justify Roden winning this year, how do you justify Phil winning the previous years when kai was around, while still having a gut problem? See the Issue? There is no standard straightfoward judging with these guys. And if Guts are a problem with how these guys are judged, why did Ronnie Coleman win 8 times in a row when he had one of the worst guts in history?

[@franciscomodesto6305]

@@DJYC21215 I don't disagree with you. I agree that judges should come out and state a definitive criteria. And I do believe Kai was robbed on at least one occasion. Its just so super subjective and I just think it was the perfect storm for Phil to lose this time. With all of the anti gut sentiments combined with Shawn looking his absolute best.

So glad these two got to do this interview.

Best Phil Heath interview yet!

[@robcupelli8980]

I'm not a Phil Heath fan hit c'mon Shawn had issues like broken jaw and blood transfusion that is allowed but Heath issues are not?? Yes I found Shawn Roden more pleasing to the eye but if you want to call a spade a spade Roelly should have won the Olympia. Phil needs to just take the loss but ppl on here are just phil haters it's insane. This is bodybuilding...its an illusion. If we are going to judge it by body part then Heath wins...if we are going to judge it with the more pleasing to the eye then Roden wins. If we are going with overall....then Roellly wins. That's my opinion. He had size and conditioning with a tight waste even if it is blocky.

Polombo.. the king of bubble gut himself!! Respect Sir. Your gut is legendary!

[@alantaylor6691]

LOL

[@killshot6519]

Phil deserved to win if we judge Olympia how is it getting judged from 30 years ...But judges changed the criteria and made a more aesthetic guy the winner this time ..but everyone needs to agree that Phil Heath easily beats Shawn the way Olympia was judged from 30 years .

[@MrHereugo]

Good job Dave👌 and was Phil's better interview till now!

[@filmilenfitness3026]

Phil Heath lost because of his bubblegut.

[@awynn6945]

Phil is taking the interview like a real champ, man i like Phil he just needs to make a lot more videos and put himself out there more and dominate the media! More work I know. Plus I really like his q&a’s he used to do.

[@damntakes525]

[@reeffam]

Great Interview so far! Thanks Dave!

[@salahkarim7485]

8:24 Phils reaction 😂😂

[@tralfmusic]

See, these are the answers from questions that people want to hear from Phil. I never knew about him going into surgery when he was a kid. I've never heard him talk in depth about his understanding of the fascia around his abdomen. We want more of this from the 7x Mr. O Phil Heath. This is great Dave - thanks for keeping it real.

[@johanhansson4574]

A hernia doesn't extend the entire abdomen to a gigantic bubble.....for real?

[@johnny6610]
