WATCH: Phil Heath Talks Retirement

Phil Heath talks hanging it up.

As the most dominant force in bodybuilding today, Phil Heath is either people’s favorite bodybuilder today or the most hated. Heavy is the crown and Phil Heath has worn it for seven straight years turning back every contender in the Open Weight division.

But what happens after he calls it a career? It’s something that every bodybuilder has to consider during their career: retirement.

You can’t lift heavy weight forever and come out completely unscathed. While you can still train hard in the gym, competing at the top levels of the sport is simply impossible, unless your name is Dexter Jackson of course.

Phil Heath recently went on record speaking on what he plans to accomplish when he finally decides to step away from competitive bodybuilding.
