“Keep Fighting Brother”: 7x Mr. Olympia Phil Heath Supports 40-Year-Old Bodybuilder Suffering Hernia Consequences

William Bonac came in 9th place at the recently concluded Mr. Olympia 2022, but that’s not stopping him from chasing his dreams. Bonac, who prides himself on his physique and hard work, is leaving no stone unturned in giving his best at the gym and preparing for upcoming competitions. The Ghanaian bodybuilder recently took to Instagram to share pictures from his gym in various poses, and look who commented. A multiple-time Mr. Olympia winner left a valuable comment on Bonac’s post and it’s hard to not take notice. Here’s exploring his comment further.

Bonac, who is currently training in Hoofddorp, Netherlands (as per his IG), posted a total of 10 pictures on his Instagram. He is wearing different undergarments in every picture, and each of them has him posing at different angles, although some poses are similar. One Instagram user had closely examined his physical disposition and shared his opinion in the comments. As a 7xMr. Olympia winner, it would be hard for the world (& Bonac) to not take notice of the legend’s comment.

Phil Heath assessed and left tips for Bonac to improve upon

Phil Heath, who won the Olympia each year from 2011–2017, wrote, “I actually think the side ab pose should be second compared to it being hit straight on. Your taper is great showing the definition and separation from the arms all the way down through the quads. Hitting it from the side shows more width which isn’t in my opinion what you need in that shot compared to it straight on. Crazy how angles work. Keep fighting brother as many including myself know you’ve got more left in the tank. God Bless you”.

Heath suggested that Bonac’s side abs should be his point of strength and that he should lead with it. The taper, or the V-taper as is idealized in bodybuilding, is named so due to the letter-sized shape every bodybuilder aspires to be. Heath’s praises on Bonac’s taper must have been an inspirational takeaway for the Ghanaian. However, what left Bonac struggling with his abs is a saddening cause, which he shared and is discussed further down in the article.

As mentioned above, Bonac is wasting no time in getting in better shape since Mr. Olympia concluded. He prides himself on his body and has shown his transformation per week leading up to the greatest bodybuilding competition. He wrote, “Check out my abs shot transformation from my @mrolympiallc 2022 prep counting the wks backward (slide to left).” Mr. Olympia concluded on 18th Dec 2022.

Bonac drew attention and focus on his abs in this post, as it was a difficult task for him to get them right due to a medical reason. He wrote, “As most know my abs shot was always been an issue due to hernia. Despite that we still manage to practice & train the abs to a presentable degree unfortunately I wasn’t able to present the physique we had in mind”.
