Phil Heath wouldn't do well in a '90s lineup??? Think again!

[@Tomn8er]

Since it's becoming a common excuse, no I did NOT pick bad photos for the 90's guys. These were some of the best individual _contest_ photos available. Generally the most impressive pics you're all used to seeing are from photoshoots, which aren't an accurate indicator of what they really looked like on stage. Be my guest try and find better. I could've made them look a whole lot worse very easily trust me.

Dorian's statement in a Dave Palumbo interview (something like this, if I remember correctly) : Phil wouldn't beat him, Kevin, Shawn or Flex. I find it laughable, because only person who would give Phil a run for his money is '98 and '99 Ronnie. Sure, Shawn Ray has a better overall body, but in a bodybuilding contest.... not even close.

[@Tomn8er]

Yeah Dorian's said some questionable things at times. He's blunt and level-headed which I like but also pretty full of himself in a subtle low-key way. For instance, he talks sh*t about his competitors constantly and only buoys them up when it makes _him_ look better (i.e. by comparing to other eras, which would seem to suggest that Yates views himself as just head-and-shoulders above everyone else since the greats from other eras couldn't even hope to hang with the people he was consistently defeating)

100% agree. I’ve met Dorian once or twice, I live in his hometown & ive trained at temple gym a fair amount. He’s a cool guy in person, but he comes across subtly very arrogant when talking about his success in interviews. Points like Shawn never came close to beating him, or Phil wouldn’t beat the big three. I think both are unfounded. If bodybuilding focused more on asthetics & presentation & completeness like in my opinion it should, he wouldn’t beat Shawn, likewise Phil’s a lot closer to beating Dorian in Dorian’s strongest poses, than Dorian is to beating Phil in Phil’s strongest. Couldn’t agree more with your point.

[@marijancorluka4500]

@TheLusianPopa Well, I'm not going to rewatch that interview, I'm pretty sure he said Shawn also. Kevin and Flex would get smoked in the mandatories, maybe not Kevin so much but Flex yes. We all know how shows are won at the end of the day and those 2 objectively wouldn't stand a chance. Also, Dorian would lose in the 7 mandatory poses, or at least should lose (let's put it that way).

[@476429]

Regarding 90s (and earlier) conditioning, people need to remember that striated glutes were not a thing. It wasn't a _bug_ to not have striated glutes, it was a _feature_ . I'm sure there have been advancements in conditioning, but I believe much of the change has been dialing in the right combination of "supplements". Gaspari did it and then other people started doing it. However, when Gaspari first did it, a lot of people did not see it as a good thing. Sure it looked freaky, but a lot of bodybuilding fans aren't into freaky. They are into aesthetics and a classic look. Getting your bodyfat to nothing and draining every spare microliter of water out of your body is not part of the classic look. Have you seen Greek and Roman statues with striated glutes? Me neither. Also remember that many bodybuilders knew how it could be done, but chose not to do it. Pushing the limits can be a very dangerous thing. Just ask Mohammed Benaziza, Nasser El Sonbaty, and Andreas Münzer. Oh wait, you can't. They're dead. Many 90s bodybuilders knew some of the things other guys had started doing, but they didn't want to be the guinea pigs that pushed the limits. Steve Brisbois was with Mohammed when he died. Brisbois almost immediately retired from bodybuilding. It is fair to compare eras based on how they actually looked, but we also need to consider the different attitudes and "technologies" of the time.

B̋l̋űe̋ ̋C̋h̋i̋l̋i̋ I’m talking physiquewise, the biggest influence was without doubt Arnold

[@Mhhuyjoouggfgggggjjjñbbhjjiiiu]

One like for King Ronnie colemen...😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@dragonboy141]

Phil could’ve beat almost anyone in the 90s. Except Ronnie in 98,99. Ronnie was on a different level and would’ve dwarfed him. No shame though in losing to the king

[@brycejbowman]

Great video. It’s easy to make calls when you aren’t comparing pose for pose. This gives a much better head to head comparison. Great job!

[@adizakbah2767]

Phil is a human anatomy perfection

[@mohitlohmodgujjar4793]

Phil is the best of all

[@ArtGuides]

Phil would be the same size first off and second, Ronnie is the only one who would beat phil. Like him or not, Phil is next level

[@bentattersfield7987]

well he obviously isn't if Ronnie beats him lol. He's one level down 😕😕

[@amarasiriekanayake3018]

Phil was great...great bodybuilder..none can look down upon the Mr.O titles he won..

[@ohmy9261]

Ronnie and Lee Haney can lol

[@KingArah]

Ofc he would do well in 90s lineup! Also don't like Phil, but you have to admit, in his prime he was a monster!

[@kamarulisham]

At last bro. Someone speaking the truth. How great Phil is. People comparing their favorite bodybuilders at prime, with phil at the time he was not dominating. Not fair at all. And bout how cocky he is. It is needed guys. In order to keep dominating. Keep winning. Champ need to have some kind of different mentality which the whole world wouldn’t like. This is the truth. Back then even the king coleman. Yates. Were cocky though. Just accept the truth. And respect these champ for their hardwork.

[@nikitakowalewski3131]

Yeees! Sure the 90s were a great era for bodybuilding but people nowadays obsess over it way to much saying no modern bodybuilder could rival the 90s crew. They had flaws too, let's not forget how 97 Dorian won an Olympia literally without a biceps

[@BJETNT]

when a lot of people say the current lineup would not beat the best of the 90s lineup I don't really think they mean Phil Heath in that or at least I would not. Phil Heath would never beat Ronnie in his prime I don't think anybody really could. That there's a reason Phil Heath was 7 time Mr Olympia!! Just like Ronnie though wear-and-tear and the drug abuse got him over time.

[@krishnadas2789]

If Kai Green had won one Mr O against Phil., am sure Phil would have more Fans than now. Love for Kai, Phils attitude, statement on Arnold gave him so much haters...

[@Tomn8er]

Absolutely. Those are all major contributing factors. Forgot about his jab at Arnold's legs... I for one know how bad a move criticizing the Governator can be! 😆

[@THEPEANUTGALLERY832]

Great video. I agree with your opinion 100%. Wow what a comparison. And Ronnie is still the King. But Phil is the GIFT!!! Kia Green would have knocked a lot of those 90s guys out too... Awesome video.

[@freedomsrt8]

Phil is the man. People talk about his gut but yet there's so many more with worse. Kai being the worst I've ever seen but folks don't seem to mind his. Ronnie Coleman's gut was blownout for a few years too. Phil is confident and people hate that.

[@richhartnell6233]

Not to mention phill had an excuse for his gut. Guy had 2 hernia surgeries and he still lost his gut almost completely.

[@freedomsrt8]

@@richhartnell6233 your spot on with that

[@iloverugby7901]

Freedom five when talking about his confidence, there’s being confident and then there’s being arrogant. The only reason Phil would get so much hate from people is the way he reacts to getting negative remarks. Instead of just brushing them to the side and getting on with the task at hand, he will make small remarks to boost his arrogance. People don’t react well to that. The sign of a true champion is someone who can take criticism and turn it into something positive, not over react and go on the defensive. Don’t get me wrong, Phil is a fantastic bodybuilder and will go down as an all time great, but will he ever reach the legendary levels like Dorian, Ronnie, Flex, Shawn and Kevin?

[@556johnstone]

Phil Heath is one of the best bodybuilders ever. Phil and Ronnie have that complete package of fullness, roundness and conditioning.

[@hungarianbeast]

I think you are correct with the amplification. Phil as a body builder as viewed just by a phisique is second maybe only to Big Ron, period. As for Phil as a human being, that trully is a topic on it's own. However (and this is an unpopular fact) Arnold back in his day (and even today to a certain extent) was a world class grade A asshole, many of his fellow "era mates" will say this. Same goes to his buddy Franco (R.I.P), and lets not forget Ferrigno... so being an asshole champion is nothing new, but yeah since Arnold and his mates gets a pass, Phil seems to be in the center of attention.

[@zcasper123]

To the people that talk about Phil’s arrogance...just stop. It doesn’t matter, it’s “who has the best physique” competition, not who is the most humble. Phil is my opinion, hands down, along with Ronnie, the greatest/most complete bodybuilder to

[@GZxuanChannel-nx9vi]

OMG, HE LOOKS AMAZNG; @Tomn8er, I LOVE YOUR VIDEO!!!

[@kevinmillington8132]

2013 phil which is the best version imo would dominate most of the 90s guys easily

[@NOTLKU86]

15:01 Ph: like this RC: Naww like thyyyyiiiiiisss !!!

[@KryptonLastSon]

Phil is insanely gifted genetically. Hard to not love his physique. In his prime the only one who would beat him would be big Ron and maybe a Dorian who didn’t get destroyed by injuries.. However, what you said in the beginning of the video is true. If Phil was dropped in the 90’s with 90’s nutrition and gear, he would not have beaten a Dorian nor a Ronnie. His width would have been a big issue. I still think with his genetics he would have definitely been a top 4 kind of guy, though.

[@sagemode6]

Tbh the only guys is see being top 3 today would be prime (2011/2013) Phil and maybe maybe prime Dexter cuz they are the only good complete bodybuilders with 90s conditioning.

[@MayorOfBodybuildingTV]

Young Phil had an amazing physique. Judges demand size and Phil gave them size! The part I miss about the 90s was a the great posing from Shawn,Chris.Kevin Flex

[@tylergeorge9266]

Phil Heath would crush them only challenge is Ronnie

[@spicybiker3191]

Some good pics great vid good work 🤘💪👍
