sad news bodybuilders!
rip bodybuilder Phil Hernon. It was a sad night when Phil passed.

Phil Heron was born in 1946. He was a competitive bodybuilder who specialized in Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, strongman contests, and arm wrestling. Phil used steroids during his career to enhance his performance when competing against other athletes. Phil is an example of what there is to know about Phil Hernon: he did steroids and made the news for it.



Phil Hermon was a professional bodybuilder who became well known after he won the Mr. America contest in 1965, and eventually retired from competitive bodybuilding to promote health club equipment. Phil had suffered an attack of polio at the age of two which paralyzed his left arm, but Phil taught himself to use his right arm as if it were two arms, and Phil never let his handicap stop him.

Phil won many trophies, Phil had Phil's best contest weight was 215 pounds (98 kg) at the 1966 Mr. America competition where Phil placed second to bodybuilder Larry Scott who beat Phil out by only one point (and Phil had more muscle mass than Scott), Phil had never really ripped Phil's abs up to their full potential, Phil had Phil's biggest arms measured at 26 inches (66 cm) in 1967 after Phil retired from bodybuilding, Phil won Mr. Universe Amateur three times, Phil was the first man to bench press 600 lbs at a bodyweight of 220 lbs., Phil also did heavy squats with 800 lbs.
