Why Phil Heath Doesn't Need a Training Partner | Generation Iron

[@bloodandguts9007]

I always train by myself. I love it. Those 1-2 hours at the gym is something special.

[@HoobleyWoobley]

Lbolting005 bruh what

[@lc-cf2db]

dilfo snaggins im confused too😂😂

[@tynao2029]

but do you do roids, HGH and synthol by yourself? cus pro bodybuilders don't, they get a helper aka "trainer"

[@JonathanRushTexasFootball]

The mentality of the champ....born by self, win by self, die by self. There are relationships in there of course, but you can only count on you to do the hard work.

[@danielpascual4672]

True

[@GeorgieGiven]

+ClassicHmongMusic Not your style? Youre not Mr O either

[@JonathanRushTexasFootball]

ClassicHmongMusic As you get older you may come to see that with success and prosperity comes jealousy and envy hidden behind smiles and praise. I'm sure he isn't a lone wolf in the deepest sense, he is married after all, but you have to understand that more people enjoy seeing you fall down that rise up, unless they can mooch off you without limits and even then they dislike you more times than not because they fail to see that your gains are the result of hard work in the gym, life, or whatever.

[@JonathanRushTexasFootball]

ClassicHmongMusic I'm 44 and can imagine. I watched Pumping Iron and they did seem more friendly, but remember back then the sports industry wasn't as big and neither was the prize money. I don't think Phil wins because of politics though. If you look at his wins IMO he was the most complete package as far as symmetry coupled along with size. Kai lacked certain cuts last Mr. O he competed in and although his lat spread was bigger/thicker he lacked balance. Now, honestly, yes the grapefruit thing and G4P has affected his chances of winning. Imagine the memes that would mock the O if he were to win! Sandow in one hand, grapefruit in the other... he screwed himself (and the grapefruit).

[@GeorgieGiven]

+Jonathan Rush Thats the thing people have to remember, this man's source of income is predicated on his success with his body and his body alone, so why would you ever rely on someone else to help dictate that body therefore success. Thats the way i see it anyways. Of course now he has his own company as income as well and what not as well but still.

[@szabee07]

I agree with Phil. I wanna train the way I want and when I want, plus my workout plan may not work for someone else. I don't need anybody to push me or motivate me because I know why I do this. I motivate myself to get my goals. I think motivation have to be inside us, so everybody should motivate himself. I'm an only child too.

[@paingprince]

Love your idea bro

[@Mystify50]

szabee07 not sure what the only child bit has to do with anything?

[@szabee07]

An only child understand this. If you don't have brothers and sisters you have to spend much time "alone". Why do I like to train alone? It's related to my childhood.

[@Mystify50]

szabee07 that's why we have these things called friends and family, lol smh

[@Nobo_On_The_Rocks]

This is so calming. When he speaks about all of it, there's no aggression.. it's more like a satisfying confidence.

[@SuperCainee]

Even if I am a Kai Greene fan, this is a video where I really liked some of the things that Phil Heath said. The situation where your partener doesn't come and you feel bumped and not as motivated is pretty accurate. Plus the self control and self responsability things, yeah man, I respect that.

[@Wessoboy123]

Same here, can't stand doing an extended warming up because you think your partner's late and then doesn't show up at all.

[@reerbaadia1896]

phil just gave his secret to success. i love it

[@tynao2029]

I didn't hear him talk about washed up Jewish bodybuilding judges the fans want to get rid of

[@Heysuess97]

I have only seen the cocky, arrogant side Phil that he has to have to so great, but getting some insight on who he really is enlightening.

[@brucebudka]

Makes u mentally stronger alone training, Phil is the man, #1 again👍

[@thelastanubis]

Inspirational video, everyone has different ways of achieving success. Keep up the hard work Phil.

[@donaldmokgale3123]

I love this guy, excellent mentality, keep pushing bro, one day they will understand.

[@michaelatwell8724]

Couldn't agree more his reasoning in the latter part of the video, about training partners not showing up. That's why I train alone, although it does suck at times. I feel like creating novelty by going to different gyms or including a partner here and there is a good way to keep things fresh.

[@SenRoyalty]

The True mentality of a Real Champion. Thank you Phil. Great inspiration.

[@buridoughboy4497]

0:25 make sure you get plenty of ounces of sleep kids!

[@gregthesplintercell]

That's because everything Phil does is in ounces. Or dosages.

[@joeldavis28]

Speaks the truth right there. To many people depend on a partner to get motivated or fired up to lift so when they do have to workout alone they half ass it or don’t even go to the gym. If someone needs a buddy or a partner to motivate them to grind through a workout than imo it’s maybe time to find another activity to take up. So many guys who lift regularly still look like shit cause once they leave the gym their buddy is not there to hold them accountable anymore and they don’t have the motivation to do anything by themselves so their eating habits are horrible.

[@camq-py7bs]

I love training alone. It’s peaceful and it’s a break from the world. I hate waiting on other people to finish a workout.. I love to take advice from people ... but I wanna do it alone.

[@virginia4032]

Training alone does help you get your mind in the workout, but there comes a time when you want to lift with someone. He's right. It does bum you out.

[@forwardmomentum162]

man thats why i have so much love and respect for this guy

[@himynameisbrianw]

as an only child, i feel the same way!

[@abosabah7729]

Brian Gnow I have 4 siblings but feel anyway as he describe

[@SouthernBoulder]

Its great to see the 2 top guys at the moment are such great public figures aswell, its great for the sport

[@massacrebob7776]

sexy

[@choctop5330]

I just found a new respect for phil

[@commanderwatchman9994]

Phil cracks me up! I like this guy. He analysis everything. Go Phil! 💪

[@21stcenturygrandma]

Love this...I feel the same way...I have tried to work out with someone else their goals are just not the same, never works out. The only person I will train with is my hubby,,,he knows when to push me or not...

[@YnotRivera1]

at the end of the day it's your blood sweat and tears that go into it. I want to know I did every rep myself and got 100 percent out of that work out. it's a sense of accomplishment. I did that me and only me

[@edgartapia78]

i love people who talk about their success...

[@prosptsfitness]

True said this happened to me as well many times, but now I'm training myself which is amazing

[@untchablegame1]

Phil heath is a legend. People might look at his attitude as selfish but its a bad ass mentality that has made him one of the best int the game. You can only rely on yourself to the best. Stop complaining and go lift some heavy ass weights.

[@tynao2029]

legend with no legs, a pregnant belly and no abs

[@damntakes525]

I always see comments of people talking shit about Phil, but honestly he's becoming one of my favorite bodybuilders.

[@kammuscle5582]

Phi Heath I 100% agree with you,all a training partner does is slow you down!

[@TheKrazyLobster]

Phil Heath is an amazing athlete. If anyone can be a 10-Time-Mr.Olympia, it's this guy.

[@zippysnowman5822]

i saw a lot of my friends quit gym just because their friends quit gym .. they like - naaaa i don't like it alone ..

[@crisbeltranofficial]

Zippy Snowman same happen to me now im alone

[@coachd8473]

I feel the same way but don't look as good lol..

[@thomasthomsen8311]

Add some roids and growth hormone and you will be there in some years :)

[@SuperNasim123]

+thomas thomsen Phil has incredible genetics. a random dude can take the same amount of drugs and train the same amount of years but never reach the size of Phil or any other one of the Olympia guys

[@jakubsimko6796]

Add a lot of injecting and if u have better genetics than 99% of people, you will look like him.

[@TheBb6prelude]

Thomas Thomsen no no no. Many have done that and never even turned pro.

[@imnotastar1298]

@@jakubsimko6796 Absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics once you are unnatural. Thats just FACT!

[@realsmithy88]

I have always trained from home so i have always trained on my own, once you know what you are doing you dont need someone to tell you what to do or lift the weight for you and if you do need someone to life the weight before you train on it you are going too heavy, all the hard work should be you and no one else

[@michaelserrano7097]

Looking foward for the next Nick's strength and power video steal. ;)

[@cssChiakii]

Well spoken as always, champ :)

[@oldskool7300]

this is why he will not be beaten......self reliance

[@tynao2029]

and because Phil will never compete in a show he isn't already booked to win

[@JohnSmith-be5py]

😜

[@atomicpunch723]

And that! Is why Phil keeps being the best in the world so far It’s like I say “I don’t carry dead weight”

[@extreamo123]

This is exactly how I feel training alone and I'm a only child I just became a Phil fan!

[@Olkohol]

when the wind pushes his shirt up a bit i always think he plays his chest muscles

[@EL_JIMMY.]

The best part of the day , is to train along

[@Crazytaru1]

He's right. I saw a clip with arnold mentioning a key to success in bodybuilding is having a training partner, and that just didnt sit right with me. Phil pretty much articulated how I felt about it, sometimes people just hold you back and its nice to just zone out being hyperfocused on the moment.

[@RenZoneNL]

motivational man

[@TheHardTruth101]

RenZoneNL is that you Keith??

[@joejoseph833]

I totally agree with you on this one bro

[@Blue69HD]

dislike from kai fanboys will come ..... I like kai too , but phill heath is good athlete !!

[@tibybackside]

I am a kai fanboy but I really agree with what phil says :)

[@chriscybulski9480]

i like them both, and this makes me feel good knowing he doesn't train to failure, sometimes i feel like i'm missing out on gains because i don't have a training partner to assist me with more reps.

[@tazx7991]

Blue69HD I don't really follow professional body building. Just came across Kai Green a little while ago and just became a small fan. Starting to branch out a bit. Quick question, can you give me a little explanation as to why Kai fans would dislike this?

[@Blue69HD]

Taz X Because Phil and Kai dont have a good relationship . Like you can see in the press conference of 2014 Mr.Olympia

[@mumon127]

agree

[@mikeg1032]

0:25 wow i didn't know sleeping came in ounces what a champ

[@matthewtonna1]

if you want something you go for it yourself right :)

[@nageen123naz]

inspirational

[@sethgordon9569]

This really speaks to me

[@TheAntoineLewis]

I like honesty

[@PunchPerfectPlayer]

Yates had a insane training partner. Pushed him past failure

[@SanatanWorld1010]

I like Phil's one man training attitude, I too train by myself, support reps are not 100% complete.

[@TheeRogerWayne]

If every black man in America was as well spoken and focused as Mr. Heath, the amount of racism and racist thoughts in the U.S. would probably plummit 60-70 percent. Ain't no thug life BS in this brother, just pure sweat and hard work.

[@adamchair7531]

Background music?

[@chvyguy21]

Well said.

[@talhajutt6740]

love you phil

[@lindani_m]

Clean advice boss

[@shagrathdemon13]

i train myself, will be on stage by myself, staying hotels by myself but when he said goin movie by myself im like man i like everything by myself like you but going movie myself nahhh man that sucks..!! that means you aint got one true friends in your life

[@NPCNPCB]

My biggest issue is my rest between sets is too fast for my partner...and I lose my pump.

[@lasseiversen4689]

Done anyone know what music there is in the background?

[@Howard9Fitness]

Exactly why i train by myself

[@exboyfriend8232]

Hail all the introverts ❤️💯

[@masternoremac3738]

The only time I like training with someone is for spots on barbells

[@saranyoo1988]

Perfect!

[@abhishekkumarrathore]

So true!

[@georgejgilles.3999]

Phil Heath is huge.

[@bobrob6629]

i am the same, i do everything by myself: train,eat,sleep..., travel, walk, i don't go to barber i do it myself, i don't go to doctors if i get sick i either survive or i will die ,i help myself , i am the BIGGEST "do by myself" champ and i am a lone wolf by choice ..well i am more of a solitary big cat rather than a wolf

[@kidpolygon404]

did u just say you would rather die than go to a doctor, that isn't cool and solitary, that's stupid

[@Ap70h2]

U have some problems nigga...

[@ntandomkhwanazi6711]

bro, we get it that you're motivated and moved, but that's dumb. So you say you'd rather die than going to the doctor because "you do everything by yourself" . You'd die bro and that arrogant champ everybody calls by won't give a shit about you

[@frankgradeenofficial]

AND YOU!!!!!!!!!!! dumd idiot

[@frankgradeenofficial]

Fikile Mkhwanazi em what? that maked no sence

[@1catmilkdrinker]

i don't need someone to stand there and tell me to keep doing what I'm doing, if I'm not doing right then i wont do it, it's almost like meditation

[@AWood28]

Muscles are insane..... Big ramy is way bigger but I don't think he looks bigger

[@rayfire50]

Chest day for a spotter is the only time

[@jaymonde9984]

well said phil heath. ..

[@robelmekonnen1564]

Does anyone know why Phil Heath uses mostly machines instead of free weights?

[@tynao2029]

why do you think he has no abs and no legs? he always takes the easy way out

[@mauricereid190]

I think Phil is only person that can get "ounces of sleep" 0:24

[@stewbama8566]

As one sibling of 5, I feel the same way.

[@modokzha5994]

Does he bench press alone? How is that possible without risking your life? Does he use safe bars or something?

[@JDayFitness]

Modok Zha dont go to failure, problem solved.

[@megacrosbie]

Modok Zha are you jokeing?

[@RusyaidiDzulkifli]

Modok Zha i bench press alone all the time,don't go till failure 😂

[@TheBb6prelude]

Sheddy Yoe I did on inclinde bench and failed lol. Just rolled the bar off and stood up with two plates. Greatest feeling ever knowing it was do or die and I went through with the lift either way.

[@xivwords5448]

Cosmic Funik really that’s better than a partner

[@MJ-wi1tc]

It’s lonely at the top, extra lonely for him.

[@7KNOWLEDGE]

i don't need a partner because most of my workouts are just me but to me a partner help when they are dependable plus its good when u want to push a little more weight and i never count the rep that gets help #ilovethissport #beabeast
