The Champ is not unbeatable
The highlight of this year’s Mr. Olympia was the clear fact that Phil Heath is not unbeatable, ever since the current Mr. Olympia showed up looking unreal at the 2011 contest, beating fan favorite and Four-Time winner Jay Cutler, fans have been waiting for the same type of physique to shock the bodybuilding world again. Heath claims that his favorite version of himself competed in 2013 but as fans argue it still didn’t compare to his first Olympia win. Last year we saw a version of Phil Heath that was far off from being the best we’ve seen him, a great amount of fans showed their discomfort with him winning the Olympia in 2014 and instead chose favorites such as Shawn Rhoden, Dennis Wolf and Kai Greene for the win.
Phil Heath was downsized last year and he showed notable amounts of distention, his condition was still very good though, this year he looked about the same size (maybe a tad bigger) as he did last year but he wasn’t as conditioned. Phil Heath looked a little flat and he was definitely one the smallest competitors in the top six. After the prejudging, there was no talk whatsoever about his usual dominance, names like Wolf, Rhoden and Jackson were positioned by fans as the favorites to win but the judges saw it completely differently. Heath was not the biggest, most conditioned nor most symmetric athlete on stage, The Champ can be beaten, some would argue that it has already happened on different occasions.
