Former Mr. Olympia winner Phil Heath hasn’t competed since falling short at the 2020 Mr. Olympia contest. However, the seven-time Mr. Olympia champion continued to train and maintain his world-class physique. Recently, rumors of a return to competitive bodybuilding circulated, and Heath has kept the door open. However, as fans yearn to see the man who equaled Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s record back on stage, Heath might have different goals.

Earlier today, the modern bodybuilding icon dropped a significant life update on Twitter. The former champion discussed his latest adventure, life, and future goals. However, competing on stage isn’t part of it.

Phil Heath just made some big changes

In his tweet, Phil Heath talked about his latest adventure in a new place. “Had an awesome weekend cruising on the water yesterday with some great friends,” he revealed. Heath posted a selfie he took during the cruise. The next part of his tweet revealed the bodybuilder’s significant decision to move from one state to another.

“Moving to Florida from Colorado has been a major shift,” the 43-year-old explained. However, he wished he had shifted “years ago.” Besides going on the cruise, Phil Heath explained he loves Florida so far. “Tons of variety of food and entertainment, let alone the beaches and the ability to meet people from all over the world within minutes,” he explained.

The entrepreneur in Phil Heath is also excited about the move. The champion bodybuilder had good things to say about Florida’s economy. He also wrote about meeting other entrepreneurs with a positive vibe. “Can’t wait to stack more wins this week,” wrote an optimistic Phil Heath.

While he didn’t speak about competing in his tweet, the seven-time Mr. Olympia hasn’t forgotten about his fans. In a recent video, he announced his bodybuilding-related plans.

Why is Heath training so hard?

On April 29, the former 43-year-old bodybuilder uploaded a video answering something people were “dying” to know. In the video, Heath said that while people might be expecting him to return soon, that won’t be the case. The former Sandow trophy winner revealed he won’t be competing this year. He also didn’t clarify if he would compete next year. So then, why is the champion bodybuilder training so hard?

I feel like everything has been working really well,” he said. Since Phil Heath didn’t shut down a return to the bodybuilding stage in the future, some fans are speculating he is taking his time to improve further before stepping on stage. However, his latest life update makes it clear that there is no chance of Heath competing any time soon.
