“2023 Is About to Be Fuc**ng Crazy”: 7X Mr. Olympia, Phil Heath, Hints a Bodybuilding Comeback

Phil Heath is the face of modern-day bodybuilding. Having won the competition for seven consecutive years between 2011-2017, he redefined the sport. With a height of 5’9, 54″ impressive chest, 23″ arm, and 29″ waist, his presence on stage was hard to miss out. He did not just leave the panel impressed but also made his competitors envy him.

Though he never formally announced his retirement from the sport, he refrains from participation. Now, with a recent video drop, speculations about his comeback are doing the rounds. 

Is Phil set for a comeback?

Two weeks prior, a series of videos of Phil Heath was posted on the official Instagram handle of Fitness Volt Network. In the shared videos, Phil was spotted in the gym. Wearing loose-fit gray gym wear, black shorts, and gray sneakers, the champion said, “I’m in here doing my thing.”

As he walks around the gym shooting with his phone, the legend in the shared video sounds confident. He adds, “in here, getting better… feels really good being a lot more functional, thank goodness. But yeah, I had one early session today.” For the unversed, last year Phil was diagnosed with Covid, due to which he lost a lot of muscle mass.

However, the legend’s spirit remained uncrushed. Taking it slow, he adds, “I just got done doing legs. Now I’m in here doing some sled work. Working on my sprinter form. Yeah, man. Totally rebuilding my physique.” As the year ends, Phil is looking forward to the following year. He makes it clear, “2023 is about to be fuc**ng crazy.”

Phil Heath and his 2022 Mr. Olympia plans

In mid-July this year, it was formally announced that Phil would not participate in 2022, Mr. Olympia. However, the fans would see him participate not as a participant but as a commentator. It has been revealed that Phil will serve as the 2022 commentator for Mr. Olympia.

It has been informed that Phil will serve as the lead commentator for Joe Weider’s Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend. The event is also called the “Super Bowl” of the fitness industry. Although Phil remains off the stage, he is not negligent of his body. He hits the gym regularly and lifts weights to ensure his physique remains in good shape. He remains active on social media and regularly shares his videos and photos to motivate his fans.
