Will 2017 Witness a Changing of the Guard?

 

 

When Phil Heath won his sixth Mr. Olympia title last September, history was made. The man nicknamed “The Gift” cemented his feet firmly among bodybuilding’s elite and entered iconic status as a multiple Sandow winner. Phil reached another milestone in his distinguished bodybuilding career: his number of Olympia wins equals that of an icon from the past, the great Dorian Yates. It would seem that Phil is unstoppable, with talk of winning 10 Sandows. Is there any bodybuilder who is man enough to stand in his way?

Bodybuilding historian Peter McGough breaks out his bodybuilding crystal ball in “As the Bodybuilding World Turns”. Peter examines whether 2017 will witness a changing of the guard.
