00:00Phil led an era of bodybuilding that we may never see again.
00:09In the world of bodybuilding, this would be the biggest comeback of all.
00:14My name is Philip Gerard Heath. I'm a seven-time Mr. Olympia.
00:18And I'm going after number eight.
00:21The Mr. Olympia is and forever will be the greatest bodybuilding show on the planet.
00:26Arnold Schwarzenegger was Mr. Olympia. Jay Cutler, Ronnie Coleman.
00:29It's last man standing. Just like Jordan, just like Ali, just like some guy known as The Rock who used to raise his eyebrow.
00:38I judge in shoulders, arms, chest, legs. It's nothing but condition, shape, and size.
00:46It's extremely competitive.
00:49We didn't have a rival. We just despised one another. He's gonna do something nuts.
00:53I was so excited to go give them hell.
00:56It was such an extreme level.
00:58It finally came to the point where it hurt his physique.
01:01As I'm cinching my belt, I feel like a pop, and I'm like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
01:08He knew that this could be the end of his career.
01:13I wanted to kill myself.
01:15At that point, I thought that Phil was done.
01:18But I thought, if I made a comeback, what would that look like?
01:33He focuses himself to one of the hardest sports in the world.
01:39I ain't dead. I ain't dying. I'm good.
01:42I'm still standing.
01:44I still have the fire.
01:49It's do or die.
01:51It's war.
01:53It's the Mr. Olympia or nothing.
01:56Let the games begin.
