He just turned 27 years old yesterday and to say that Phil Heath, nicknamed “The Gift”, has his whole life ahead of him is so very true. This photo from the Colorado Pro was the first competition of the one two punch that really put this kid on the map. It was in Colorado that he beat veteran Darrem Charles and then came right back and beat him again at the New York Pro. Since Phil came into the sport he only knows how to take first place.
In general I know Phil as a very pleasant guy with a quick smile. When you first see him in street clothes you would not really suspect that he has a world class champion physique. But on stage there is no question. You can find out more information on Phil’s website. And we will next see him on stage at the Arnold. And this lineup is going to be big time. Let’s see what "The Gift" can do. Will he be "The Surprise Gift"?
