Phil Heath Shows Off An Incredibly Improved and Ripped Midsection

Phil Heath has revitalized his midsection.

Phil Heath isn’t quite ready to hang up the trunks yet. In a recent post to his Instagram, Heath showed off an incredibly improved abs ripped midsection. He is shoring up his weaknesses no doubt to make a return at a future date.

To be a competitive athlete is to understand that your window of opportunity is short. No one can compete at the highest levels for all time. It takes a certain of dedication, experience, and, for some, youth. There comes a time when a competitor’s advanced age can prove to be their undoing.

Apparently Phil Heath missed the memo on that one.

Just one you think Phil Heath may be calling it quits, he reaffirmed that he still has plenty of fight left in him. The seven-time Olympia champion isn’t quite done with competitive bodybuilding yet. On the contrary, Heath appears to be putting in tremendous amount of work on shoring up his weaknesses while improving his strengths. One weakness in particular is his midsection.

Midsection Improvements

During the tail end of his title reign, Phil Heath was constantly criticized for his midsection. But a recent progress pic shows that Heath has that issue well under control now. Heath took to social media to show off some incredibly ripped abs that no doubt put the rest of the division on notice.

When you really focus on being your best, it doesn’t come from dabbling. It comes from hard work, sacrifice, victory and defeat but within it all one thing remains…it is YOU VERSUS YOU!!!

Wanna prove others wrong?

Go for it, but I suggest starting with proving yourself RIGHT FIRST!!! Bet on yourself, do the hard work for YOU, stop comparing yourself to others. There is only ONE of you, make it count and give a damn about your success!

Happy Friday y’all! Have a great, safe weekend! Much love ~PH ????????
