This is how you win Mr. Olympia.

The 2015 Mr. Olympia is only three weeks away now and the athletes are making the final preparations for the prestigious event. At this stage of the game a great deal of the work has already been done throughout the year. For any athlete looking to make a push at this point of the game then they can count themselves out right now. The off season is a time when the pros make the most gains in order to come into the championship events with considerably more muscle and better conditioning. For the reigning champion Phil Heath the process is no different.

With so many championship wins under his belt, Heath has proven that he’s a force to be reckoned with albeit not impossible beat. Already Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay is being considered as one of the top threats to Heath’s Olympia crown. Last year Kai Greene came pretty close to taking Phil’s crown and looked impressive despite taking second place, many fans believing he’d been cheated out of the . If you couple that with the fact that many people thought Phil was off his game then it would seem that “The Gift” had a lot on his mind this past off season.

Needless to say, Heath took that criticism to heart. But rather than ignore the critics, Phil has used it to motivate himself and has been working pretty damn hard at improving on his already impressive physique. It takes dedication and a powerful mindset to focus on improving a physique that has already been proven to be considered the best in the world. If his training videos over the last few weeks have proven anything it’s that the Olympia champion is looking to come to the competition in top form. Take a look at one of the leg training sessions he’s been using to perfect his form.
