The champ is looking beastly this off season.
There was once a time in bodybuilding where the sole objective was to build lean, quality muscle while at the same time focusing on aesthetics. You could have large, powerful muscle, but that had to backed up by something more. If you didn’t have a V Taper to go along with it then no one thought much of you as a professional. But that was a different era, a different time. In the modern era of bodybuilding, particularly in the open weight division, it’s all about how much massive muscle you can pack onto your frame while still maintaining definition. It’s what makes the current number one bodybuilder in the world Phil Heath so special.

Phil Heath is a genetic anomaly. He has the ability to continue to make massive gains while at the same time resisting bloat. The reigning Olympia king doesn’t gain a tremendous amount of fat during the off season nor does he lose his hard earned muscle mass. Phil Heath instead maintains a physique that isn’t far from how he appears when he steps on stage. It’s a principle he shares with his rival Kai Greene. Rather than get out of shape during the off season, the top flight bodybuilders choose to maintain a leaner physique.
While Heath doesn’t gain a tremendous amount of fat during the off season, he does put on some serious muscle mass. In fact, recent guest posing of Heath suggests that the Olympia champion is the biggest he’s ever been as a pro. He has put on more size this off season and hasn’t bloated whatsoever. Phil Heath is tough man to beat on the Olympia stage and the truth of the matter is that if he continues to perform like he has at competitions, while remaining disciplined on the off season, then it will be difficult to see who will be able to unseat him from the thrown. Take a look for yourself at the massive size of Phil Heath this off season.
