Had an awesome time Brother! This is what being "TheGift" truly meant and I enjoyed sharing it with you and your viewers. Can't wait to share more soon. 😉👍🏽💪🏽
I have watched this video 3 times and I learnt new things every time , Phil u need to make a training book or program or something I would 100% pay a lot to buy it
I have gained so much respect for Phil. He is very well spoken and acts like a perfect role model towards will. I wish I had someone as knowledgeable as Phil to help on my fitness journey. Phil is a living legend
@@regidon6816No shit, otherwise they wouldn't be Mr.O's if they didn't. But with Phil he's always kept to himself and hardly ever did videos of him training or anything for the most part really, he trained and set it all on stage much like Dorian Yates. Don't have to be a cock about someone making a statement. It's 7x Mr.O too not 6.

That point is ignored because it is common knowledge and yet those questions remain unanswered. That would never even be published; No roids means no competition at this level.
Because he was forced to take the Kai Greene approach, after the bracelet incident he had to come at a different angle. Whos well liked? Kai. Ama do what Kai did hope to get some credibility.
he has top tier genetics + on a ton of steroids which pretty much allows him to do whatever the fvck he wants in the gym and still grow, that's all you need to be a top mr olympia level bodybuilder.. great genetics and a great drug cycle, a bit of time and hard work too, but as for training? meh anything program will work with enough of the right exercises and volume..
"It's insane how well he can articulate his points" would probably be a better way to phrase that. Not being a dick, but on a comment about articulating your point I couldn't resist.
"I don't feel like I'm lifting; I feel like I'm sculpting"...Phil leans in. "Guess what...You're bodybuilding" This was a poetic moment, and I feel like it all changed for Will, and Phil was so happy to see him realize this! Such a great video!!!!! No one can deny the genuine passion of these two. One man, a true legend and the other a your legend looking to create his own legacy.
Phil seems like a genuinely nice guy. And I love that he is all about technique. A seven-time Mr Olympia doesn't have to Ego lift he's got nothing to prove to anybody. When he said it's about completely mastering the movement, I was reminded of when Bruce Lee said, " I don't fear the man who practices a thousand kicks one time. I fear the man that practices one kick a thousand times."
Nice guy? What kind of nice guy talk shhhh**t abt everyone? What kind of nice guy steals jewelery from others? What kind of nice guy threatens to sue people when they expose him?
@@terimaakigaand5857 All of these guys talk sht about eachother. Even the greatest Rodney Coleman has some quotes on him that don't look good taken out of context. And about the jewelery? believe that Kennedy was lying.
Damn I feel like Phil is so misunderstood. He's so passionate, intelligent and knowledgeable I could listen to him talk about his own training ethos for daysssss. This is hands down my fav video of yours so far and thank you for showing everyone this side of Phil. What an absolute legend and gentleman, great role model for the sport.
The only thing that really puts me off with Phil is it seems he’s always trying to hard. Like some of the stuff he says seems cringey. Might be my negative feelings towards him due to his old cocky self.
He is not misunderstood. Everyone in the Bodybuilding world know Phil is a prick and they only tolerate because he was No. 1. But look what happened, soon as you lost the skeletons came out the closet. Everyone knew Phil is a cu*t, its just no one had any ground to stand on because he tried to pocket everyone.
Dr. Swole! I listen to your podcast all the time. A fellow natty gonna compete for the first time next year. I appreciate your informative interviews and great guests. You should do more, more often!
Phil speaks truth. As a former pro natural bodybuilder, my motto has always been 'do it light, and do it right'. focus on control over numbers. Your body can't tell how much something weighs, it can only feel stress. Learn to create that stress with lighter weights and your joints will thank you later in life. Another great collaboration.

@@jamiebenson6079 So you clearly not understood what i just wrote. Let me repeat it once more just for you. If you have worked your way up to 16 inch arms, then 95% of people ( my guesstimation) will have reached close to their genetic max and if you would want to get just 1 inch increase over the next like 5-10 years, then you need to be SUPER serious about it and most people are simply not THAT serious, even if they think they train hardcore. Iv personally only just reached 16 in the last few years from doing another form of training. I was stuck at 15 for most of my adult life, despite pushing it hard the first 20 years. So my point is, that NOTHING this guy is gonna show you, is gonna get u anywhere near 20 inch arms, let alone 21. Simply not possible without gear AAANNNDD if you already got 16 inch arms, then you MOST likely already know how to train correctly.

You need to have things MUCH more dialed in as a natty if u want to push the envelope. So as a natty, you are better off following other natty guys, because they will tell you what u need to hear. Ofc a guy on roids can show you have to move a weight optimally. But im talking overall training adwise here.
Will is so focused listening, not as many jokes! It's cool to see Will learn so many new things, wheels are turning in his head. Can't wait to see him in a year!
tips to actually implement for best results (for myself or anyone else coming across this) - prioritize time under tension - hold for 5 seconds at the end of each set - technique>reps,weights,etc - when it gets harder later in the set/workout, focus even more on your technique - DO NOT lose technique. - start small, PERFECT your form, then increase progression - 90% of reps in a set must be done with perfect form - try to make your last set better than your first - be aware of your breathing - chin up king, try to keep your head up for better form
I have a question, let's say you're doing a set of 10 reps (with perfect form) and it's your last set and when you reach the fifth rep you can't continue (reached failure), what to do there? Do i take a break and finish the set?
@@rayane9086 depends on your mindset when your in the gym. Comes down to where your heads at because by that stage you could be thinking one of the two scenarios, but if you came into the gym with the goal to have perfect form all the way I would say drop set and reduce the weight and keep working that muscle with perfect form and finish off.
This is why Will is my favorite fitness channel. Despite his years of training and amazing physique he’s still humble enough to know when he can learn and become better. Absolutely no ego.
I literally went back to the drawing board and started recording myself again to see how my form compares to this video. Been trying to really feel and squeeze now instead of just mindlessly pushing or pulling. Can already tell I'm feeling it way more, very humbling.
@@phinks4444 oh wow you’re gonna make insane gains! I’m starting trt in December and I can’t wait! I’m in great shape but super low T makes it harder. Plus now I can do cycles of Anavar and things like that and not have to worry about a pct.
This might be one of the most informative weightlifting technique videos I have ever seen. Seriously, this was great. Thank you Will for this video. But most of all thank you to the legend Phil Heath for really sharing some great knowledge here.
Man this felt like something I needed to pay for. Truly top tier educational content, Phil's passion clearly shows in this video. Thank you, Will and Phil
This right here was the check i NEEDED im on my first bulk after dropping 133lbs. This just proves i've been progressing way to fast some of my forms at the end get sloppy and this is the ego check i needed. This is literally free invaluable knowledge time to drop the weights back down and keep pushing. Will stay classy and keep your content and channel just how it is your content is underrated af
Thank you for introducing someone who seems quite special in the industry for having something truly meaningful to say about the fundamentals of the art. For some reason I was missing out until now. Phil looks so healthy. So relaxed. I’m impressed with the guy so much.
Phil has brought back many memories of my grandfather who was Mr Puerto Rico in 1957. The knowledge that Phil gives Will is very reminiscent to what my grandfather taught me. Thank you Will for another great guest video and thank you Phil for the great knowledge.
I rarely leave a comment on UA-cam videos. Saying this not as a flex, but how this video was incredible. Amazing advice with no ego. True focus on mastery. Everyone can benefit from watching and learning from this video. Thank you Phil and Will. Ollie is watching from above and is so proud of how far you've come.
This video is awesome! Keep grinding! Question for you Will... have you ever used Next Level Diet? I got a custom muscle-building meal plan from them and it's really working for me.
When you alreeady got 16+ inch arms, then there is literally nothing this guy can teach you, except how to run a cycle of roids to get 21 inch. You will NEVER get anywhere near 20 with ANY kind of unique way of training and you know this already. We are just all suppose to watch this video and pretend we dont know whats going on.
@@GR-uc1gq Yes "maybe" and "maybe" you would get there anyway. If you train the things you do now and you grow, then you are not suddenly gonna stop growing because the body wakes up one morning and goes.... "Hey dude, if you are gonna keep lifting these weights the same boring way, then im gonna refuse to grow anymore" If you believe that, then im sorry to burst your bubble too. And secondly, i was being pretty specific by mentioning 21 inch arms. I was doing this to low key specify that one needs to take roids and that it has ZERO with the training. And THATS what they are not mentioning in the video. They are fooling naive people with this nonsense. Its the same stuff they did in old Bodybuilder magazines back in the days, when it was normal for natty guys to buy them, thinking they could get just as jacked by "Just work hard bro and lift like i do" I use to think this when i was17-18yo.
Loved this! Always said lifting correctly is more important than more weight. Muscle engagement is more important than slinging jeavy weight, and stressing ligaments, and joints.
No wonder Phil won so many olympias and still in FUCKING AMAZINg SHAPE, the way he talks, the things he says just shows how badly he is passionate about bodybuilding, really inspiring
Man Phil is such a chill dude, like i could bump up to him on the road and talk about anything. Also this one video is so informative. I learned so much in just one video that I haven't in a year.
In the first 5 minutes Phil spits so many facts! The whole video is golden. Full of great information!! I will have to watch this multiple times to make sure I take in all the info. More content like this!!! 🙌💪 super motivational
Honestly, this mindset is inspiring. So hard to take the the ego out of it, even for normal lifters. It's almost like martial arts, you make the most gains mastering the form. Very cool, love this collab.
Hands down, this is one of your best videos ever and I've followed you for years. Phil Heath is such a genuine great guy and it really shows in this video. Great job to both you on this collaboration. Can't wait to see you train shoulders and back with him!
Probably now one of my favourite videos on this platform. Phil acts and speaks like such a gem, and he's so guiding and mentor-like towards Will. Wholesome yet motivational af
Crazy how someone that big prefers time under tension, with sensible weight and not ego lifting, and making silly noises, learnt a lot from this. Great footage 👏 👍🏼
Man I'm a Kai Greene fan, but I need more videos like this of Phil now training or training with others. He gets straight to the point, explains things very easily, and it was cool seeing this side of his humor. Meanwhile I have Kai trying to sound philosophical for 5 minutes straight about 1 exercise lol.
Phil always been in Kai shadow. Only in recent years has Phil been happy to talk about actual training. Man was gatekeeping like hell and only when he was caught stealing a 80-100k bracelet did he decide to take the videos at a different angle. Phil is a straight up liar
@@YaayGrrrBomber Its undeniable. Kai brought something to the game that was far beyond Phil's ability. There is only so much PHD can take you before natural genetics take over. Kai is an unbelievable in terms of true raw genetics. Phil heath is the definition of bloat. Only reason Phil won is because he had people in his pockets. Kai Greene was always the superior physique but didn't have the money. So yes. Phil was always in Kai's shadow because Phile knew he couldn't compete when it came to RAW genetics. Tell me you HAVE seen the pics of Phil when he was a baller, MF was tiny
As a newbie who didn't know there was a rivalry, I love both Kai and Phil. I love both of Will's videos with them. They taught me so much and inspire me to get my booty to the gym.
@@jsfnnyc 100% brother, they both have a love for bodybuilding but only one was willing to do it fair and square. I love what they both do for the sport but I can not sit by and watch all of this youth having this view on Phil Heath that he was what it means to be a bodybuilder. The man is a cheat and a liar and the more people know about it the more people can truly hone what it means to be a bodybuilder. Phil is a great competitor but he is an awful athlete.
I dont know if people realize how crazy insightful what Phil says is , the depth and insights and the perfecting of details which make the Real difference thats truly amazing!!
I was doing an arm workout while watching this and actively adapting to his advice mid set has really changed the way I will train from now on. So much wisdom and explained so well that even a novice like me can understand it and put it into practice. This is a gift to us all
This is one of your best Will. I've been feeling a little burned out after my first 18 months of weightlifting. So this was pretty inspiring and helpful. Phil is awesome!
This is the type of guy I'd love to have as a trainer. He doesn't yell or make you feel bad, he breaks things down and explains things in a way that you'll keep it in your head forever. I think I'm gonna start doing some exercises when I'm done working
phil heath is so down to earth. this is so cool to learn from a legend. please make these training with legends vids a series. this and the best/worst gyms series are 🔥
Will.... this is LEGIT the best video you have done!! Getting Phil Heath on there was a feat, but the chemistry you guys had was incredible and the knowledge that he passed on.... this is next level brother. Beyond well done!!!
Thank you for allowing us to see this champ from a closer perspective. I'm a girl so I usually don't care much about super sized bodybuilders but I can definitely see myself benefiting from his tips & discipline 👏
I can't believe how much valuable information he was willing to give out to you. That is decades of experience talking. A lifetime of wisdom and work. Bravo! I have a whole new respect for Phil!!!
this is one of the best videos i ever watched in my entire life i just started going back to the gym two weeks ago and i felt bad because i couldn't use the weights that ive been using but from that video i learned that its not the heavy is the most important but the technique thanks u phil heath
Great dude until you have money. Phil stiole a $80k+ watch from an NFL player and never gave it back and used every loophole he could to get out of it. Man is a liar and a cheat.
Hany Rambod was Phils steroid guru. Not "trainer". IFBB pros know how to train. At the top level getting in shape at 250+ pounds is a literal chemical experiment. For this to happen Experience is needed. As in timing for all the various compounds leading up to a show and especially show Day. This is what Hany provided. And is what all IFBB "coaches" provides. They´re in the IFBB, they know how to train lol.
I've been lifting for 17 years and feel like I need to throw everything out and start rewriting the book now. Thanks to you both for the info, much love and respect 💪
Listen, I don't know how I got here but this was what I needed to hear so much. I see everyone around me at the gym doing all these super fast reps on machines or with barbells and I'm over here doing a set slow and holding between each rep because I can feel what it does and that's how my coach taught me in HS. Glad to hear I'm in a good lane. Thank you for an excellent and super helpful video!
Love that he doesn't over -complicate any movements. He gives great visual representation of what TO DO and what NOT to do. Learned a bunch of great advice from this video. Better than textbook bodybuilding for sure.
Wow! This is the first video I see with Mr. Olympia Phil Heath and I have learned more in this short presentation than reading and working out for over 20 years. What an incredible human being, pleasant, intelligent and a fine teacher.
Dang I tried this type of workout today and man was it intense. I normally feel the pump after a workout but this was next level. Lighter weight than I normally do but each set was crazy and my skin felt so tight! This is legit and I’m excited to keep this style going Edit: I always thought I went through reps slow and controlled until I saw Phil do it. That’s another level and I think we can all learn from that
Bro I just tried that shit too, I am fucking dead lol. The same weight I used to throw around like it was nothing has me wanting to tap out at the 6th rep! Phil gave us gold fr
Underhand triceps pulldown. It's nice to see that validated. Will, my favorite video of yours so far and also a huge thank you to Phil Heath for sharing his knowledge.
I really have to thank you guys for this video I have made more progress in my arms in 8 weeks than I had in over 6 months. I actually have sore arms again on arm days that hasn't happened in years
Hey Will, im retaking bodybuilding after missing it for around 10 years, i was looking youtube videos for information but always find shit, this is valueless, this is like golden era youtube for bodybuilding, like charles glass, etc. nice video!
The Gift as he ages has become savvy or at least has learned how to present himself as such to the public, in 2014 we didn't se that one coming but it's a long time coming, couldn't be happier for Phil, i know he had troubles in the past with social media. Strange world we live in. Props to him, I would listen to him all-day
That's why he won so many in a row. It doesn't have to be complicated. Move the weight under tension, take your time and move on when level is mastered. Awesome video.
I really love the arc of Phil coming full circle. From someone playing the heel in the sport to an extent, to now someone very calm and positive and wanting to pass on his knowledge. Very cool video.
Yeah! i thought the same, but doesn't feel strange, like a very mild melacholia? The battles between him and Kai, the arrogance on the stage, the hate on the media, and finally the exposure for his gut to this, i don't know how to process that, 7 years it's a lot of years to have in image of a person and then have it change, I dunno...
Met Phil at the Arnold a few years ago. He spent 10 minutes or so with me and was extremely down to earth for a person of his stature. Truly a great face of the sport
This is great advice for beginners AND serious lifters. "Master every pin" I think is a very important piece of info to carry with you. I injured my triceps twice because I was trying to do movements that I couldn't pull off properly, for way too many reps. No shame in taking it down a notch and play it safe for the sake of staying healthy...eventually you'll get strong enough to do those excercises cleanly, no need to rush. Great video, awesome motivation boost.
Had an awesome time Brother! This is what being "TheGift" truly meant and I enjoyed sharing it with you and your viewers. Can't wait to share more soon. 😉👍🏽💪🏽
You guys need to collaborate again soon. Great information.
Man why you gotta troll Kai like that? LOL This video really changed the way I have been training. Thanks for doing it, both of you!

Please collab with him again! You two make a very good team. He was informative without being cocky or condescending.
Yes! This is exactly what I was thinking. I'd love to see him and will do a video for every exercise day/group.
Wish I could give this comment a hundred thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phil has such a chill and calming energy around him, it's entrancing! Great video as always Will, keep up the good work!
Chil and Calming energy? Lollllll. Give it some time and u will feel the paranoid and pregnant energy from him.
@@terimaakigaand5857 wtf...
Will is so focused listening, not as many jokes! It's cool to see Will learn so many new things, wheels are turning in his head. Can't wait to see him in a year!
tips to actually implement for best results (for myself or anyone else coming across this)
- prioritize time under tension - hold for 5 seconds at the end of each set
- technique>reps,weights,etc
- when it gets harder later in the set/workout, focus even more on your technique - DO NOT lose technique.
- start small, PERFECT your form, then increase progression
- 90% of reps in a set must be done with perfect form
- try to make your last set better than your first
- be aware of your breathing
- chin up king, try to keep your head up for better form
@@Larrybobangles are you like challenged or something.. I just summed up what Phil heath said in the video into tips for myself
I have a question, let's say you're doing a set of 10 reps (with perfect form) and it's your last set and when you reach the fifth rep you can't continue (reached failure), what to do there? Do i take a break and finish the set?
@@rayane9086 depends on your mindset when your in the gym. Comes down to where your heads at because by that stage you could be thinking one of the two scenarios, but if you came into the gym with the goal to have perfect form all the way I would say drop set and reduce the weight and keep working that muscle with perfect form and finish off.
I love Will’s humour and his personality but appreciate the more serious tone of this video being in the presence of Phil, mad respect shown.
Phil is the Bob Ross of bodybuilding. So soft spoken and has a very calming presence about him. Great video, Will 💪
nah, john meadows is the Bob Ross of bodybuilding. Phil is just straight up the gift.
yall never seen kai greene lol?
@@mathieutrudeau9813 you mean heard? He can talk forever.
I would say Flex Wheeler is
@@blueicydasani4543 you should listen to some lee priest stories about flex.
This is why Will is my favorite fitness channel. Despite his years of training and amazing physique he’s still humble enough to know when he can learn and become better. Absolutely no ego.
When you have 7 time my Olympia training you humility isn’t hard
I can feel the burn on that tricep pulldown.
Amazing to see a legend like Phil be so generous with his knowledge. I learned a lot, like most viewers I bet.
Damn Phil is really giving it all to us. And for free. This was amazing. Thank you both 💚
This is insane, the point that this is free says a lot about Will. Easily the best video that I think he’s done and I genuinely didn’t want it to end
I‘d say … not the best, but the most educational 🤓🙂
@@just__mike Seriously, there’s always people like you on the internet who have to give their unsolicited corrections. No one cares
@@jd0879 Don't be so frustrated.... hope you fell better soon 😉
Video literally just had me delete my entire workout log and start from scratch. What a blessing this man is
I literally went back to the drawing board and started recording myself again to see how my form compares to this video. Been trying to really feel and squeeze now instead of just mindlessly pushing or pulling. Can already tell I'm feeling it way more, very humbling.
@@shoobzy3431 same! All my weights in my progressive overload tracking went back down again but it’s still an overload in itself
Seriously me too, started adding massive amounts of hgh, dbol and anavar to my new lightweight highly focused workouts. I can’t wait!
@@phinks4444 oh wow you’re gonna make insane gains! I’m starting trt in December and I can’t wait! I’m in great shape but super low T makes it harder. Plus now I can do cycles of Anavar and things like that and not have to worry about a pct.
FR! This has me contemplating a lot of things
This might be one of the most informative weightlifting technique videos I have ever seen.
Seriously, this was great. Thank you Will for this video. But most of all thank you to the legend Phil Heath for really sharing some great knowledge here.
I’ve met Phil, and this video just proves how amazing that guy is. So down to earth and cool. Unbelievably helpful the whole time.
So informative, and entertaining! Feeling so motivated after that!
Intelligent Aware Bodybuilding 🧙♂️👍
Time under Tension, Wow!!!👍
For real 😃
Man this felt like something I needed to pay for. Truly top tier educational content, Phil's passion clearly shows in this video. Thank you, Will and Phil
This right here was the check i NEEDED im on my first bulk after dropping 133lbs. This just proves i've been progressing way to fast some of my forms at the end get sloppy and this is the ego check i needed. This is literally free invaluable knowledge time to drop the weights back down and keep pushing. Will stay classy and keep your content and channel just how it is your content is underrated af
Thank you for introducing someone who seems quite special in the industry for having something truly meaningful to say about the fundamentals of the art. For some reason I was missing out until now.
Phil looks so healthy. So relaxed. I’m impressed with the guy so much.
Phil has brought back many memories of my grandfather who was Mr Puerto Rico in 1957. The knowledge that Phil gives Will is very reminiscent to what my grandfather taught me. Thank you Will for another great guest video and thank you Phil for the great knowledge.
I rarely leave a comment on UA-cam videos. Saying this not as a flex, but how this video was incredible. Amazing advice with no ego. True focus on mastery. Everyone can benefit from watching and learning from this video.
Thank you Phil and Will. Ollie is watching from above and is so proud of how far you've come.
This video is awesome! Keep grinding! Question for you Will... have you ever used Next Level Diet? I got a custom muscle-building meal plan from them and it's really working for me.
I learned more in 22 minutes than I did in 7 years. That was well worth the watch!
When you alreeady got 16+ inch arms, then there is literally nothing this guy can teach you, except how to run a cycle of roids to get 21 inch.
You will NEVER get anywhere near 20 with ANY kind of unique way of training and you know this already.
We are just all suppose to watch this video and pretend we dont know whats going on.
@@luffebassen dont let the fitness mafia see this
@@supt4305 yaa i know. Might burst a few bubbles
@@luffebassen maybe but I have 16" but I haven't trained like this. Maybe I could gain half inch or more
@@GR-uc1gq Yes "maybe" and "maybe" you would get there anyway.
If you train the things you do now and you grow, then you are not suddenly gonna stop growing because the body wakes up one morning and goes....
"Hey dude, if you are gonna keep lifting these weights the same boring way, then im gonna refuse to grow anymore"
If you believe that, then im sorry to burst your bubble too.
And secondly, i was being pretty specific by mentioning 21 inch arms.
I was doing this to low key specify that one needs to take roids and that it has ZERO with the training.
And THATS what they are not mentioning in the video.
They are fooling naive people with this nonsense.
Its the same stuff they did in old Bodybuilder magazines back in the days, when it was normal for natty guys to buy them, thinking they could get just as jacked by "Just work hard bro and lift like i do"
I use to think this when i was17-18yo.
Phil is so cool. I never thought I'd learn this much from the video
Loved this! Always said lifting correctly is more important than more weight. Muscle engagement is more important than slinging jeavy weight, and stressing ligaments, and joints.
No wonder Phil won so many olympias and still in FUCKING AMAZINg SHAPE, the way he talks, the things he says just shows how badly he is passionate about bodybuilding, really inspiring
Man Phil is such a chill dude, like i could bump up to him on the road and talk about anything. Also this one video is so informative. I learned so much in just one video that I haven't in a year.
Anyone can be chill when they wanna rob you of a 80-100k bracelet.
In the first 5 minutes Phil spits so many facts! The whole video is golden. Full of great information!! I will have to watch this multiple times to make sure I take in all the info. More content like this!!! 🙌💪 super motivational
Watching again 3 days later. Lol 💪
Honestly, this mindset is inspiring. So hard to take the the ego out of it, even for normal lifters. It's almost like martial arts, you make the most gains mastering the form. Very cool, love this collab.
Hands down, this is one of your best videos ever and I've followed you for years. Phil Heath is such a genuine great guy and it really shows in this video. Great job to both you on this collaboration. Can't wait to see you train shoulders and back with him!
Absolutely love the “slow and controlled” approach. It’s the recipe for impressive muscle building, perfecting technique, AND conditioning stamina 😉
Interesting
Probably now one of my favourite videos on this platform. Phil acts and speaks like such a gem, and he's so guiding and mentor-like towards Will. Wholesome yet motivational af
Crazy how someone that big prefers time under tension, with sensible weight and not ego lifting, and making silly noises, learnt a lot from this.
Great footage 👏 👍🏼
Even dorian is like that
Man I'm a Kai Greene fan, but I need more videos like this of Phil now training or training with others. He gets straight to the point, explains things very easily, and it was cool seeing this side of his humor. Meanwhile I have Kai trying to sound philosophical for 5 minutes straight about 1 exercise lol.
Phil always been in Kai shadow. Only in recent years has Phil been happy to talk about actual training. Man was gatekeeping like hell and only when he was caught stealing a 80-100k bracelet did he decide to take the videos at a different angle. Phil is a straight up liar
@@fawx.1633 Did you really just describe Phil fucking Heath as being in Kai Greene's shadow? You're actually insane
@@YaayGrrrBomber Its undeniable. Kai brought something to the game that was far beyond Phil's ability. There is only so much PHD can take you before natural genetics take over. Kai is an unbelievable in terms of true raw genetics. Phil heath is the definition of bloat. Only reason Phil won is because he had people in his pockets. Kai Greene was always the superior physique but didn't have the money. So yes. Phil was always in Kai's shadow because Phile knew he couldn't compete when it came to RAW genetics. Tell me you HAVE seen the pics of Phil when he was a baller, MF was tiny
As a newbie who didn't know there was a rivalry, I love both Kai and Phil. I love both of Will's videos with them. They taught me so much and inspire me to get my booty to the gym.
@@jsfnnyc 100% brother, they both have a love for bodybuilding but only one was willing to do it fair and square. I love what they both do for the sport but I can not sit by and watch all of this youth having this view on Phil Heath that he was what it means to be a bodybuilder. The man is a cheat and a liar and the more people know about it the more people can truly hone what it means to be a bodybuilder. Phil is a great competitor but he is an awful athlete.
I dont know if people realize how crazy insightful what Phil says is , the depth and insights and the perfecting of details which make the Real difference thats truly amazing!!
I was doing an arm workout while watching this and actively adapting to his advice mid set has really changed the way I will train from now on. So much wisdom and explained so well that even a novice like me can understand it and put it into practice. This is a gift to us all
who the fuck are you talking too lol
This is one of your best Will. I've been feeling a little burned out after my first 18 months of weightlifting. So this was pretty inspiring and helpful. Phil is awesome!
Phil seemed genuinely pleased when you stuck with the 25's. Way to be both a great student and teacher
Holy crap... did this technique today during my shoulder workout. Never felt a pump like this before. The feeling of progress 🔥
This is the type of guy I'd love to have as a trainer. He doesn't yell or make you feel bad, he breaks things down and explains things in a way that you'll keep it in your head forever. I think I'm gonna start doing some exercises when I'm done working
Practice makes permanent. That simple tidbit of knowledge is invaluable.
phil heath is so down to earth. this is so cool to learn from a legend. please make these training with legends vids a series. this and the best/worst gyms series are 🔥
This was a collab I never thought I needed, But I've enjoyed every single second of it.
Phil and Will make a great video.
Will.... this is LEGIT the best video you have done!! Getting Phil Heath on there was a feat, but the chemistry you guys had was incredible and the knowledge that he passed on.... this is next level brother. Beyond well done!!!
Love this video such a blessing to learn from the greats!
My face hurts so much from smiling while watching this video. You two are awesome
Thank you for allowing us to see this champ from a closer perspective. I'm a girl so I usually don't care much about super sized bodybuilders but I can definitely see myself benefiting from his tips & discipline 👏
Honestly one of your best videos yet. So much value whether you're training for 10 months or for 10 years. Love this so much dude.
Damn, I was not expecting this video to be this level when I started it. Phil Heath is so humble and seems like the best person to train with
I can't believe how much valuable information he was willing to give out to you. That is decades of experience talking. A lifetime of wisdom and work. Bravo! I have a whole new respect for Phil!!!
This is the best advice on lifting that I have ever read or heard. Phil Heath is a legend for a reason and Will is close behind him.
this is one of the best videos i ever watched in my entire life i just started going back to the gym two weeks ago and i felt bad because i couldn't use the weights that ive been using but from that video i learned that its not the heavy is the most important but the technique thanks u phil heath
Awesome... Just plain awesome! Training with Phil has got to be up there with Arnie, Ronnie, etc 👍🏻👍🏻
Phil seems like such a great dude, definitely became one of my favorite bodybuilders after watching this
Great dude until you have money. Phil stiole a $80k+ watch from an NFL player and never gave it back and used every loophole he could to get out of it. Man is a liar and a cheat.
@@fawx.1633 How many times have you creamed your jeans to the grapefruit video.
Champions talks nd walks like champions ❤ huge respect or mr heath....very informative....thanks will for making this video
This was a game changer for my leg workout today. I’ve never shook so much in my 30 years on this planet. Thanks for the video and the knowledge!
I have massive respect for Phil’s trainer Hany Rambod.
They both have so much knowledgeable information that can help with physique developing.
Hany Rambod was Phils steroid guru. Not "trainer". IFBB pros know how to train. At the top level getting in shape at 250+ pounds is a literal chemical experiment. For this to happen Experience is needed. As in timing for all the various compounds leading up to a show and especially show Day. This is what Hany provided. And is what all IFBB "coaches" provides. They´re in the IFBB, they know how to train lol.
I've been lifting for 17 years and feel like I need to throw everything out and start rewriting the book now. Thanks to you both for the info, much love and respect 💪
This video is a game changer, been applying these principles to my last couple workouts, can immediately notice the difference
The way he is explaining everything is so like, wow🤯 he explains everything so well and it makes so much sense👏🏻
this has really been inspiring for my own fitness journey! seriously love phil's perspective on fitness on not comparing yourself to others
Listen, I don't know how I got here but this was what I needed to hear so much. I see everyone around me at the gym doing all these super fast reps on machines or with barbells and I'm over here doing a set slow and holding between each rep because I can feel what it does and that's how my coach taught me in HS. Glad to hear I'm in a good lane. Thank you for an excellent and super helpful video!
dont mind what other people are doing as long as they are not harming you or anyone else and just focus on what u can improve.
My favourite pro to watch train is lee priest, everything is perfect tempo no matter body part what exercise what weight always perfect.
Love that he doesn't over -complicate any movements. He gives great visual representation of what TO DO and what NOT to do. Learned a bunch of great advice from this video. Better than textbook bodybuilding for sure.
I want him to win at least 1 more time.
He deserves way more respect than he gets for what he has done and for how long.
@MUSIC ERA Everyone is beatable.
@MUSIC ERA everyone is unbeatable until they get beat. Ronnie proved that
@@fishnutz5196 You mean Jay proved that
@@Gnybr yeah thats what i meant. Whoops
me too bro !!
Wow! This is the first video I see with Mr. Olympia Phil Heath and I have learned more in this short presentation than reading and working out for over 20 years. What an incredible human being, pleasant, intelligent and a fine teacher.
he is the calmest pro I've seen till now
Arnold was also pretty calm. Both legends
Phil is such a good coach. His philosophy, knowledge is world class
Man we need a part 2!!
This video was so motivating.
I tried these tips today and can confirm that it hits diffrent!🤯
Dang I tried this type of workout today and man was it intense. I normally feel the pump after a workout but this was next level. Lighter weight than I normally do but each set was crazy and my skin felt so tight! This is legit and I’m excited to keep this style going
Edit: I always thought I went through reps slow and controlled until I saw Phil do it. That’s another level and I think we can all learn from that
Bro I just tried that shit too, I am fucking dead lol. The same weight I used to throw around like it was nothing has me wanting to tap out at the 6th rep! Phil gave us gold fr
its quite simple. mind muscle connection. its more important than the weight on the bar.
Underhand triceps pulldown. It's nice to see that validated. Will, my favorite video of yours so far and also a huge thank you to Phil Heath for sharing his knowledge.
Literally no point in it tho, provides no extra benefit than overhand lol
I haven't seen a more educational, interactive and entertaining video in my entire life not even kidding
God damn I love this Phil, felt like he had a few stressful years recently, but he is looking great and sounds great. Good to see big man!
Thought the same thing, looking physically healthy and sounds in a good place mentally, so nice to see
I met you and Phil at the gymshark event at Venice and it was so great to meet both of you! Thank you for making my day!
I really have to thank you guys for this video I have made more progress in my arms in 8 weeks than I had in over 6 months. I actually have sore arms again on arm days that hasn't happened in years
Hey Will, im retaking bodybuilding after missing it for around 10 years, i was looking youtube videos for information but always find shit, this is valueless, this is like golden era youtube for bodybuilding, like charles glass, etc. nice video!
I think you meant invaluable - valueless means it has no value😆
@@ThumpRat thanks for your correction :D english is not my first language
@@alexcamposmachado1389 no problem - easy mistake to make for a non-native speaker
It’s amazing to see somebody so dedicated and knowledgeable of their craft!
The Gift as he ages has become savvy or at least has learned how to present himself as such to the public, in 2014 we didn't se that one coming but it's a long time coming, couldn't be happier for Phil, i know he had troubles in the past with social media. Strange world we live in. Props to him, I would listen to him all-day
That's why he won so many in a row. It doesn't have to be complicated. Move the weight under tension, take your time and move on when level is mastered. Awesome video.
I really love the arc of Phil coming full circle. From someone playing the heel in the sport to an extent, to now someone very calm and positive and wanting to pass on his knowledge. Very cool video.
He still has a massive ego and a permanent chip on his shoulder it seems.
Yeah! i thought the same, but doesn't feel strange, like a very mild melacholia? The battles between him and Kai, the arrogance on the stage, the hate on the media, and finally the exposure for his gut to this, i don't know how to process that, 7 years it's a lot of years to have in image of a person and then have it change, I dunno...
Damn Phil is so cool man. Such genuine good energy. A gym sesh would be a dream
Met Phil at the Arnold a few years ago. He spent 10 minutes or so with me and was extremely down to earth for a person of his stature. Truly a great face of the sport
0:00 - 0:01
the way that mysterious character lasted only for 1 sec is too hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is great advice for beginners AND serious lifters.
"Master every pin" I think is a very important piece of info to carry with you. I injured my triceps twice because I was trying to do movements that I couldn't pull off properly, for way too many reps.
No shame in taking it down a notch and play it safe for the sake of staying healthy...eventually you'll get strong enough to do those excercises cleanly, no need to rush.
Great video, awesome motivation boost.
Phil is a class act. I learned so much from this video and TONS of respect for the champ.
watching this has even taught me a better and more controled way of lifting and I'm grateful for running into this video. thank you will and phil!
Damn love how Phil is delivering the tips with passion and seems to enjoy sharing. Good stuff.
