The Best Of Phil 'The Gift' Heath On Instagram - Muscle & Fitness

If you ask old-school bodybuilding fans to say the first name that comes to mind outside of Arnold Schwarzenegger, they might say Lee Haney, Dorian Yates, or Frank Zane. Fans of the early 2000s may say Ronnie Coleman or Jay Cutler.

Fans today would almost unanimously say Phil Heath. Aside from the fact that he won the Olympia seven straight times, he’s been involved in other arenas, including public speaking, various business ventures, and, occasionally, pro wrestling.

Since his shocking second-place finish at the 2018 Olympia, there has been more buzz about Heath than ever before. He looks like he has been training hard, but will he compete in the Olympia again this year? We don’t know, but if his Instagram is any indication, he’s certainly been up to something.

Check out some of The Gift’s greatest hits here.

Most guys want to relax when they travel, but Heath still finds local gyms and gets in great sessions. Take this back workout in Manchester, England, for example.

Heath, in addition to focusing on his legendary physique, has also been doing bodybuilding business, including developing his own new supplement brand.

This is more than a simple set of cable crossovers. Look at his attention to form as well as the focus in his eyes—he’s as passionate about bodybuilding as he’s ever been.

Was training arms and my friends at @emporiumgym captured some good negatives with me using the EZ AF curl bar lol. Gotta love it when your training arms while wearing a @gifted_athletics Dream Killer Stringer and your arms are on Swole!!!!! I told y’all I ain’t playa around this year. #PhilHeath #7xMrOlympia #Retribution #giftedathletics #DreamKiller

EZ-bar curls are normally anything but easy when done right, and Heath slows down the negative to make them even harder.

Talk about triceps. He was blessed with great genetics, but he still makes sure to do the work to maximize that gift.

There has been one constant throughout Heath’s entire pro career: his coach, Hany Rambod. Here they are working shoulders.

This May in Dallas, Texas I’ll be taking the stage at The Vault hosted by @patrickbetdavid and @valuetainment to talk about how I became 7 Time Mr. Olympia and the disciplines you need to make it to the top of your game. Get your seats before they sell out! Click link in bio for details. #thevault #dallastexas #philheath #mrolympia

You have to be different if you want attention at events like a busiess conference, and we doubt they’d seen a promo like that before.

I had to repost this ??@steve.laureus God bless you brotha I’m very proud of you for staying strong and resilient through those tough times. Keeping killing it, I wish you the very best in 2019! Repost @steve.laureus ・・・ I was in a hospital bed 2 years ago and saw this footage. It's been saved on my phone since then. I've always been told that I have awesome genetics, but seeing this always put that image into my head how difficult it would be to beat a physique like this. The crowd was pleased and cheering this presentation by @philheath. This is always the goal to work towards. This is motivation and the goal for 2019. #PhilHeath #7xMrO #MrOlympia #DreamKiller

The early days of Heath! This was long before his rise to Olympia fame, but you can clearly see the promise and potential.
