Phil Heath – And Still

AND-STILL-2The first thing that any gift giver might think to get a bodybuilder is to buy something that relates to physically lifting weights. Things like, weights, equipment, apparel, and so on. But if you know a bodybuilder who also loves movies, documentaries, or just sitting down in front of the TV when it’s rest day – then this gift might a good way to mix up the gifts under the tree. Any Phil Heath, or bodybuilding fan for that matter, would appreciate this documentary chronicling the Olympia champion’s preparation for the 2014 Olympia competition. Phil has a few DVDs under his belt, but And Still is his most recent. Pick it up at his official website.
