    Phil heath has the best bodybuilding genetics probably ever, especially his response to the drugs and skin texture. He just took it too far with the HGH in his later competitive years. He could have had 10 olympias but im sure he started upping certain doses that he didnt need to near the end of his career and it caused him to have severe reaction (gut area)

    Kai never stood a chance against Phil for the Olympia title. Politics were always in Phil’s favor and he had a more aesthetically pleasing build despite Kai’s undeniably dense and defined muscle. Phil’s claim as the GOAT is also contentious - while he’s remembered fondly now he wasn’t always a fan favorite during his reign. Ronnie Coleman always had the judges and people on his side - he is the true GOAT of the modern era.
