Alright mate, just wondering if you take dextrose after your workout to spike your insulin.

Hey champ!
What are your take on carbs pre/intra and post workout. Do you use any supps, or just eat food.
Best regards from Denmark 😁

Hi Phil,

I hope you & Shurie are well. Just a quick non bodybuilding related question. If you could havecany super power, what would it be?

Take care both of you. Miss you guys

Hey Phil! What are your biggest pet peeves from dudes in the gym? Keep up the good work Champ!

Hey Phil,

Hope you are doing well! I was wondering what lifting cadence (tempo) you recommend for someone who is trying to gain as much muscle mass as efficiently possible, or does it not even matter in the grand scheme of things?

Thanks!

Hi phil,
What is the craziest/ coolest thing a fan has ever done for you?
Take care 👊

Hey champ, congratulations on your 6th title and way to just slay em this year . Already ready to see u next year in 2017 when you tie Arnold ! I'm a bodybuilder and am working hard to become a pro. My biggest problem is myself , people get into my head and it affects my workouts and Just my overall confidence, so how do I lock it down and only focus on what I need to do do in order to become the pro that I KNOW I can be. Peace and blessings brother.

hey champ ı hope you doing okey.ı just wonder how many more titles can you get in your opinion and would you compete at 40s years old like dexter.by the way tell kai to compete theO again because there is noone to push you i think. thanks a lot :D

Happy birthday Champ and also to myself! We have the same birthday! After a long exhausting activity(for you maybe international flight, for me is final exams in university), how do you manage to recover and will I lose a lot of gains?

What's up champ. I wanted to know, do you have any tricks on how to get the food down? I'm living that fish life and you already know. 6 weeks out and trying to shred before showtime. It's really hard with having no appetite so I tend to eat and usually feel sick afterwards. I get them down, but there's gotta be something I'm doing wrong. Also my girlfriend is begging for you to do more videos with Shurie. I think she's her biggest fan. Thanks again champ!

Hey Champ,

This one ist not really a question but I just wanted to get that out there. I am bodybuilding for 7 years and I also follow you for that time-span. I saved money to fly out to the 2013 Olympia which meant that I really had to save money for this since I live in Austria (Europe). I was on my own and eventhough I bought the second best setting category i got a mediocre seat on the side pretty far away. Pretty honest it was a shitty seat.
I was waiting outside but there were too many people to take a picture with you. At the expo the same Saturday before you had to leave when they only would have been 2 more people in line in front of me.
So all my hopes were lying on the Superstar Seminar. Unfortunately this was the first year they didn´t do it because of the Generation Iron Screening. I talked to Robing Chang but since I wasn't a VIP card holder there was no chance to get in.

On the one hand it was a great experience to witness the Olympia live but on the other hand it was pretty devastating that there was no possiblilty to chat or to take a picture.

I am putting this out because I want you to know that there are real fucking loyal fans out there that appreciate what you do and root for you since many many years

Take care and best wishes from Austria

To my brother from another mother...
Phil Heath aka The Gift Basket lol
In your opinion would you say that our sport (Bodybuilding) is getting easier financially or harder for new talent these days to get support?

These are great questions everyone! Can't wait to see how Phil reacts (especially to the super-power one) lol!

Hey champ! I've noticed in the gym that I go to that a lot of people seem to be married to their weight belts. I personally don't use one but have been looking into the benefits of using them, and I'm thinking about getting one. Just want to know what your view on using one is? Thanks, Have a great 2017 and continue to grow!

Hi Phil,
Happy new year, all the best to you and your family for 2017 and I can't wait to see you to win number 7 (Hopefully I will there in person to witness it live).
My question to you is that I've noticed a lot of current and retired competitors are now offering training & nutritional programs etc, is this something you have thought about doing or is it something you would be more likely to do once you retire (as I can imagine it could take up a fair bit of time)?
