Phil Heath is looking beastly these days.

After the 2018 Olympia, Phil Heath declared that he’d be taking some time off from competing in bodybuilding. As such, the former Olympia king has been striving to make a return to form and get back into the shape that made him legendary.

While many have been quick to write off Phil Heath after his defeat at the hands of Shawn Rhoden, “The Gift” has been quietly making improvements to his physique and is looking to be in some pretty awesome condition.

Some recent Instagram posts of Phil Heath have shown the former Olympia champion in top form and looking more beastly than ever.

Needed to take my training up another notch so had to hit up my coach @hanyrambod to reinforce this new battle armor I got installed after the Olympia haha. Shout out to the Young One @andreideiu_ for stepping up and getting a badass arm workout in. Hany actually got it on film so hopefully you’ll all see how it went down soon! All I can say is I’m baaaaaaaaack and am eager to get even bigger and better than ever real soon!!! Shout out to all of the amazing fans in Köln Germany as you all brought tons of positivity and passion for bodybuilding that made me realize how awesome my job truly is. Thank you all for reminding me that and I will continue to keep many of you in my thoughts as I destroy these weights!!!! #PhilHeath #7xMrOlympia #FiboExpo2019 #Retribution #giftedathletics #Repost @hanyrambod ・・・ It was a pleasure being able to train 7x Mr Olympia @philheath and young Pro @andreideiu_ here in Köln Germany ??! We missed not having @hadi_choopan at this event but he’s preparing for a show and we can’t wait to see him soon?? . @fst7training #fst7training #fst7 #TheGift #TheProCreator #TheFisherMan
