| PHILLIP HEATH |
Phillip Heath – who many know by his nickname, “The Gift” – grew up in Seattle, Washington, and was a typical high school jock. He played varsity basketball, and excelled enough that he earned a basketball scholarship to the University of Denver. He played as the point/shooting guard at the University’s Div 1-A basketball team. While he loved basketball, he was looking for his next challenge, and it was only after university that he found the world of bodybuilding in 2002. He pushed his body from 185 pounds to 215 pounds of pure muscle, before cutting down to 192 pounds for his first competition, The Rocky Mountain NPC USA Championship “Northern.” Heath won – quite the way to start out his career. He trained harder, got even bigger, and eventually racked up a whole slew of other titles, including his IFBB Pro card and four Mr. Olympia wins
