Gym for Life's video: Phil Heath Arnold They re tied at 7 who s better GFL Release

Now the question is, who do you think is better? LIKE for Arnold, COMMENT for Phil! From a failed basketball career to bodybuilding legend, Phil Heath now stands tied alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger as one of the few 7-time Mr. Olympia champions. This weekend, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson declared Heath the 2017 winner. Heath beat out Mamdouh "Big Ramy" Elssbiay for the title, raking in $400,000 for his prize. After the announcement, Heath spoke about his journey as tears rolled down his face. “I never thought I could win Mr. Olympia when I started my career in 2002,” Heath said on an live-stream broadcast, according to a Report. "I just decided to dedicate myself to working hard.” During the live-stream event, Heath talked about his humble beginnings as a basketball player. After a less-than-stellar college basketball career, he needed a new sport to take on. Bodybuilding became his outlet, and he found himself working in the gym no matter what. "This sport has given me so much,” Heath said. “It has taught me to be strong emotionally and physically. I have done it through hard work, and that means so much." Heath, 37, landed his first Mr. Olympia title back in 2011, nine years after he entered bodybuilding. He's won the Mr. Olympia title every year since, making him just one first-place title away from tying with 8-time champs Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney. And Heath's not stopping. He looks forward to collecting more Olympia titles and plans to compete in 2018. Track: TULE - Fearless [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds.
