NDO Champ talks about how the combination of genetics and passion will make Phil Heath unstoppable again at the Olympia 2020.
Most of you know NDO Champ for his absolutely insane intensity. If you’ve even seen one of his viral videos or workouts – the speakers on your phone or laptop have probably blown out completely. That’s because NDO is a bodybuilder with energy like no other. He brings true meaning to the word hardcore. Much like his high-level energy, he also holds nothing back when it comes to his opinions in the sport of bodybuilding. Which is why we asked him to give us his predictions for the upcoming Mr. Olympia this year. In our latest GI Exclusive interview, NDO Champ explains how Phil Heath is a shoe-in to win the Olympia 2020 due to the combination of his genetics and hard work. He claims Heath will only lose if he slacks off.
Much like last year, the Olympia 2020 will not be a normal competition for the biggest bodybuilding show year. Due to the world pandemic, the competition was moved to December. On top of that, there have been some complications on who can compete due to unrelated issues such as Flex Lewis’ injury and Shawn Rhoden’s continued legal problems.
On positive surprise this year came early on in the form of Phil Heath’s return to competing. He will be on stage facing off against Brandon Curry to earn back his thrown. While it’s unfortunate Heath will not be competing against all of the very best athletes this year due to dropouts – he will still be facing off agains the likes of Big Ramy, William Bonac, and the aforementioned Curry. All of these athletes have been circling the top 3 positions the last two years. Will Phil Heath be able to defeat them all?
NDO Champ certainly thinks so. During our video interview, NDO confirms that there is little the other athletes can do to topple Phil Heath. NDO feels that Heath’s genetics, his “gift” if you will, sets him so far above other competitors that he can only lose if he slacks off.
NDO Champ thinks this is what happened when Phil Heath lost in 2018. He had grown complacent in his years of victory. But now, having been knocked off his horse, will Phil Heath be hungrier than ever to obtain an eight Sandow trophy and earn himself a spot in the world record pantheon of most Olympia wins?
Only time will truly tell. But for now NDO Champ is staying confident that the time away from the spotlight has only made Phil Heath more focused on training his best ever. That mixed with his blessed genetics will make him impossible to beat no matter how hard the other athletes try.
This of course is to not take away from the other competitors and what they can accomplish. NDO Champ uses Kai Greene as an example. NDO loves Kai as an athlete but no matter how much Kai tried he was always stuck in second place. That’s not because Kai didn’t train hard enough. It’s because Phil Heath’s genetics are on another level.
Brandon Curry has been showcasing consistent growth year after year though. So we don’t want to count him out completely. Perhaps his genetics have yet to fully show their promise as he continues to perfect his training, diet, and physique. Again – only time will tell.
