Phil Heath Workout

Phil Heath Bodybuilding Routine

Phil "The Gift" Heath is a very popular and well-known American IFBB professional bodybuilder that has won Mr. Olympia twice. His determination and grit is what have enabled him to take the Mr.O title from Jay Cutler at the 13th Mr. Olympia. Phil usually allots 2 hours for his workout that includes 3 to 5 exercises per body part.

Like any professional bodybuilder Phil admits that during his intense and long workouts at the back of his mind whenever he trains to where the point of failure is, can he recover in time for the next workout.

Phil believes in fascia stretch training (FST-7), a technique he's been using for a long time to ensure he gets the full advantage of deep fascia growth. Without going into the rather complex reasoning behind FST-7, it refers to doing 7 sets performed for his final exercise of the specific body-part he's training that day.
