Bodybuilding is more of a lifestyle than a sport. This is exactly why some athletes tend to follow a strict diet and train intensely despite their retirement from the sport. However, in the case of Phil Heath, he still hasn’t announced his retirement, despite his last competition being in 2020. 

The seven-time Mr. Olympia Phil Heath made sure to leave a lasting legacy through his achievements and performances in competitive bodybuilding. Even though he has hinted at a comeback multiple times, there is still no news about his return. However, he appears absolutely jacked, as he recently posted an Instagram video. 

Phil Heath’s thought-provoking post

While Heath shared an intense rivalry with Jay Cutler on stage, the duo are actually very good friends off-stage. Cutler has multiple times even insisted ‘The Gift’ make a comeback for the 8th title. Even though there is no definitive news about Heath’s comeback, as he posted a new Instagram post, he looked massive in size.

In the video, Heath is seen posing in a gym. He is recording himself and flexing his biceps in front of a gym mirror while wearing black shorts. Along with this video, he captioned the post, “Another day, another 5 Ibs up in weight ! Training with Mr. Panatta, eating Pasta, Pizza, and Gelato is doing me some good, Italy hits different f @panattaofficial”

Netizens give their honest take on Heath’s current condition

One of the users commented on the post, saying, “Phil if you start hitting vacuums I’m gonna duck for cover. cause these boys in trouble at that point,” while another fan rightly stated, “you are the closest thing to a real life dragon Ball Z character that I’ve ever seen in my life. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us and the sport.”

Drawing comparisons between him and Kevin Levrone, as he also made a comeback later in his career, a user wrote, “Do you have that same genetic gift that levrone does? Look at the gym and gain 10lbs a week.” A person also wrote, “He’s Olympia ready eating pizza & burgers.” Men’s physique athlete and internet sensation Andre Deiu also complimented Heath in the comments by simply writing, “Damn.”
