Would love to try Factor, but your promo code only works on the US site, it'd be great if it worked on the Canadian site as well.

CHRIS PLEASE INTERVIEW KAI GREENE!!!!!! That man is a well of wisdom.

I always just assumed Phil Heath was a bit of a villain because of how he was commonly regarded, it's really refreshing to see him sit down and have a deep, long-form conversation with someone who asks good questions. Excellent work once again, Chris.

he just filled the persona once it was going that direction. but yeah solid dude

Phil at his peak was simply unbeatable. Always loved his villain aura!

Dang it, Phil is 10x more impressive than I thought, and I already had him in high regard.

Omg. I used to think he was so arrogant. But now I understand he truly believes in himself. And to give yourself promotion to believe in yourself and push your boundaries for no one else but yourself. ❤

Love the "multiply by zero" conversation. So much wisdom in knowing when to say "no". Doesn't get talked about enough because we're a "yes" culture, but saying "no" to one thing is saying "yes" to something else.

Thank you Chris and thank you Phil. This was such a great conversation. Newfound respect for Phil

Skipping "roid" day.

Phil is the definition of a winner nothing else matters but winning you can just tell how determined and how hard he must of worked

I agree, but there’s a weird paradigm at play. No one gets to the level of success that Phil attained without working hard..... But he’s known as The Gift for several reasons. One being how well his body responds to training and gear. Phil famously had to work out less hard than other competitors. He could go off season for a period, then go on cycle for a couple months and just explode with muscle, way easier than most people can

The right interviewer makes all the difference. Well done, Chris. 👏🏼

No matter what others say , Phil is the greatest of his generation . And there's a lot we can learn from him. Thanks Will for bringing him in .

@@Mark70775 I thought it was Estaban or something.

Hes achieved a lot in his life. Hes got extreme levels of confidence and self belief. He talks like a champion of bodybuilding. Hes smart articulate as well. U cant expect a person like this to fit or to influence others opinion. So people can feel that he comes across as agressive but , Honestly i feel phil doesnt get enough credit for what hes achieved. People need to stop nit picking on the way he speaks or portrays himself and just need to learn from this champion life. Concentrate on the things hes done, and u will be inspired. I wish him a great life. Go Phil ❤

Phil's a great dude. I've seen people getting on him for being arrogant, however I just see a smart, self-aware dude who sees his own strengths. Guy is truly a gift. Great convo

Phil Heath is the perfect person to interview. Thank you for this interview!

Chris is one of us, and we're all grateful for your work. Thank you

As much as a kai fan I was growing up - Phil is a great champion and interview.

You are knocking these outta the park one after another - keep killing it brotha

🎉 agreed.

What a LEGEND!! Nothing but Excellence. To see him in his prime was UNBELIEVABLE

God seeing Phil on modern wisdom is such a crossover my favourite podcast apart from Rogan and one of my favourite bodybuilders of all time. So thankful for you Chris ❤

I have a newfound appreciation for Phil after this. This is the gold standard for podcasting.

Now that you got Phil on I hope to see you bring Kai Greene on in a future episode! Great content as always!💪🏽

I can listen to him all day. Such a cool dude

Hahaha. Super Saiyan analogy. Thank you Phil! Now all us little kids in their 30s and 40s can understand 🎉

I ALWAYS liked Phil and Kai during and before their rivalry. But I remember the first time I heard Phil speak for an extended period of time was on Mark Lobriner's channel (tiger fitness) in 2014. I love listening to what Phil has to say!

16:55 LIFE-CHANGING

Great interview. This is my first time watching your channel. I was definitely on the Kai bandwagon and really wanted to see Phil lose for so many years. I see that he’s a lot more intelligent than I gave him credit for and deserving.

Why, my dear friend, I must declare with the deepest and most profound respect, that the vision before us is none other than the most exquisitely articulated and magnificently presented meatball I have ever had the privilege to behold.

I really really appreciate all what you're doing chris, to educate and entertain us. Keep up the good work man!

Never multiply by zero is fucking gold ✨️👌🏾 thank u Chris, fire interview Phil 💪🏾🔥

Agree, lowkey best advice for life!

LOVE the support you are showing bodybuilding!!! Keep it coming! 💪

Very impactful conversation and work done by both of you. Thank you!

Wow, what a beautiful beautiful conversation! Some moments almost had me in tears, thanks Chris and Phil for sharing this!

Awesome podcast and thank you for bringing those gems! Appreciate your work !

Chris, it’s like you write dialogue exactly for life and the things we are receiving as human. When he started talking about fast and furious and hitting the Nos too soon… modern wisdom!

Thought provoking, intelligent and motivational. Thankyou Chris and Phil, much love brothers!

This was phenomenal and inspirational. We are all scared of locking our own potential.. how scary is that

Great interview, probably the best one yet with Phil. All are great, but both of you are keeping it 1000%. This is golden!

We’ve been so spoiled with these interviews lately. Heath, Cutler, Coleman, Bumstead, Hogan, Flair. Old, but gold- Zane, Platz, Haney, Arnold, Yates. Best videos on YT

LOVE this podcast! Nicely done, very informative and motivating! Also enjoyed the great sound output and the professionalism.

man i had no idea phil was so intelligent . mad respect.

Such an honest, inspiring and thought provoking episode!!! Thanks Chris for having this convo with Phil! I needed this today!

What a beautiful interview. Great job you both thanks very much for so much clean-cut information/motivation

I’m here to say Great questions followed by great conversation, especially on more than just bodybuilding. Phil’s wise, we can all learn from him. Learn to see past from what he’s done and look where he’s headed 🔥@philheath

Thank you for giving bodybuilding a louder voice. We all appreciate it.

Its nice to listen to phil talk about everything, not just bodybuilding, awesome interview.

I just ended this up. I watched this interview in 4 cardio sessions of 30 mins 🔥🔥🔥.

The end of Phil’s 10 exercise… givng the sauce!

I am not considering bodybuilding on any level, but this interview is getting me fired up! Appreciate this content. Thank you. To hear Phil Heath describe how he dominated with his preparation starting at 1:16:36 is inspiring. I imagine that he knows his body better than anyone else and for him to recognize right away that the methods of others would be stupid for him to replicate demonstrates incredible accuracy with his view of his needs at the time. Awesome to watch this man nerd out about his different modalities and living in Denver, Colorado for the increased altitude stimulus. Sounds like he thought of everything!

ThanQ Chris for this interview Phill he’s the Champion on stage and offstage. Not forgetting the Camera quality🔥✅it’s…stunning ❤

I was at the Cleveland show in 2014 when Phil was speaking. My first ever competition. I saw his arms and almost quit bodybuilding 😂😂 His personality is pure dominance. Thank you for this interview 💪✊️

What an amazing podcast. Love Phil Heath he is the real deal when it comes to bodybuilding

Thanks, been listening👂 Thanks extra much for the reminders of things NOT TO DO and the encouraging talk 🙌

Love this type of stuff!! Who would have expected this to go so deep? Not only is this guy on another level in terms of work ethic and champion's mindset, he is also very honest and really understands how limiting beliefs can hold all of us back and he explains how to overcome them.... If you want to do your friends a big favor, share this with all of them! Great interview, thanks for loading up! 💪👍

Loved this! Goat for getting the goat on here. His wisdom is limitless! Love the fitness curve youre taking lately.

Wow! Just wow! This is exactly why Phil will be the best to ever do it!! On and off stage, a true champion 👊🏻

Very direct conversation the people need. It may seem arrogant, but its truly a wisedom just like you father should give you. Straight and honest, calling it like it is.

Thank you for the upload! Enjoying every Minute!

This was an absolutely wonderful eye opening mindset changing interview. Thank you.

Another banger. Thanks for this one

Every time I listen to Phil I learn something new about life. He makes me think. Thank you

More bodybuilders and more people from the sport in general. ❤ Good podcast , Phill is smart and very good communicator

Its not often i find someone entertaining, inspirational, likable, admirable, i could go on and on, thank you, both of you, but especially phil heath, phil you are incredible, and such a rararity, i also forgot to mention charasmatic that magic undefinable thing that attracts people like a magnet, combine that with all your other gifts and accomplishments, and WOW amazing, you woke me up and made me dream again, thank you phil, god bless

Love him or hate him, you have to respect him. His mindset is something else and he dropped some true gems in this interview. I have always been a fan of his and this was a great interview.

Great podcast 1:42:48 Phil's right forearm

Great great interview I loved his insight and his motivation on life as well as gym life and what it is to be GREAT!!!

The insight to my favorite body builders that I grew up to in Walmart magazines while my mom shopped, 28 now and this is great.

A living legend "The Gift" Phil Heath. 7 time winner without the politics and no injuries

I have a new appreciation for Phil Heath after watching this. I guess I never realized what an intelligent, introspective human being he really is. His story is both tragic and uplifting. The tragedy is that he wasn’t allowed to just enjoy his success without all the negativity manufactured by people who didn’t even know him. The uplifting part of it all is the inner strength he possesses that allowed him to focus, and refocus, and channel all his energy into manifesting and creating his own destiny. I have been a fan of bodybuilding since the 1980s and I admit I was never fully invested in Phil’s reign. There is no disputing his greatness as a champion bodybuilder but now I do t think anyone can question his greatness as a human. I am thankful that I had the experience of watching this and hearing his stories. Good stuff!

Get Kai Greene on!!

What a Giant of a person! Really good talk. Insightful and inspirational!

Holy, the video quality is insane.

Phil is a very smart guy and in my opinion up there with Ronnie. Either hate him or love him. Respect

What a great conversation. I never realized the intention behind Phil's outlook from exercise to life. This is why Phil is 7x Mr O winner. Also gotta respect Kai Greene for being the only person to call Phil after his defeat, and basically saying something correctly, No one beat the Phil Heath he knew and battled against. no one.

This was kind of a breakthrough interview for me. It’s the first time that I’ve ever found Heath to be relatable, probably because he didn’t seem angry, something that always seems to be simmering just beneath the surface with him. This time he seemed honest and sincere without that rough edge that made him difficult to watch. And by rough edge I mean that prior to this he always seemed very defensive when asked any question at all, as if he was afraid that everyone was out to get him. As for the interview, I thought the questions were interesting and about the things that bodybuilders want to hear, and I thought his answers were honest and sincere. He finally came across as a regular guy, something that I think will endear him to bodybuilding fans like me. Reply

Amazing interview. Thank you both.

I didn't expect this, Phil is great. Thanks for this podcast Christopher

I truly wish he would've went for his 8th just one more time last year. I was shocked when he didn't. It's all good. Most men will never, ever even win one Mr. Olympia but Heath is the goat. Love that he's from my home state!

NGL... Watching Phil v Kai era / battle was legendary, i remember watching how hardcore Kai was training and hated Phil as a cocky douche, but looking back it was amazing, you needed a hero and anti-hero and their battles was that. Looking back, you dont see it these days..

I learned so much from this, thanks Chris, great questions.

this interview was so powerful for overall life development

The sentence about bodybuilders nowadays ''They are taking drugs more than actually doing the work'' hits hard man and you can really feel that compared to Ronnie's generation , people just want to take shortcuts and make their way up there..Being human nowadays is overrated !

Loved this one as much as most of your podcasts, Chris. We definitely see the quality of the production, where you even make a different intro in your ads for each video which is very seamless. One minor thing to improve (to make it perfect) is that the camera on Phil was a bit wobbly at the begining. Other than that, totally nailing it lately, man.

Absolutely loved this podcast. Nothing but the truth from start to finish. 💪🏾💯💯💯

Really great interview, thank you!!

This interview is astonishing ! I have learn so much with this. Mann Phil is really Him.

Really loving the production and editing of this podcast

Amazing Phil, this was the talk I needed to hear. I was anti and yes it was driven by those media sources vut now I appreciate you so much more. You are a great leader and someone to look upto. Well done guys 💪👍

One of the best pods ever well done love the gift what an inspiration

Great épisode. With a great champ and humain being with great mindset thx you chris

Chris is able to ask all the right questions

Very insightful and motivational

In an era of massiveness, Phil Heath gave us as a gift :) harmony, quality, and aesthetics (at least 4 years out of the 7 and all the previous years).

Another banger Chris! Keep em' rolling in!

Great Guest. Great Host. Thanks fellas appreciate it

You got that spot on shaun. I can relate to pretty much everything you did. Keep up the good great channel.

13:04 the MK analogy is pure gold ! Face yourself. Thanks for this podcast, best Dominik

That's crazy how smart & articulate Phil is. Thank you for this episode!

one of the best podcasts for sure

banger of an episode. Love Phil

You gave me the gift of knowledge every time I’m working out I always think control that weight and make it my Bciht
