Strange that most guys on this thread voted for Vic to win, but give it to Phil pose for pose?

Also if Phil wins most of these poses, does that mean that he would / should have won the Olympia had he entered like that? I don't think so

what are you talking about?
also i don't like vic and ,as most of you, hope for phil to dominate over him, but in these pics vic wins hands down.
if phil had competed at mr o with that shape, he would have placed 6th. he is not better than last year's wolf, for sure

Some of you guys must have somekind of Heath-glasses on. Judging by those pics Victor wins hands down, every pose.

^^ agreed! I dont know how many can say that phil wins those back poses. Even if his back is much improved, Vic is wide and peeled from the back. Split calves, dry hams, striated glutes, christmas tree back, and a v-taper from hell not to mention peaking bi's. No way would phil beat vic from the back...

Although I like Phil more I would say that Victor would win that competition.

Looking forward to see what Phil brings to the stage:food-snacking:

phils conditioning shits ALL OVER vic. Phils definition is much more pronounced, especially the cuts in his legs. From those pics, it doesnt matter if vic had a bigger back, heaths was far more detailed. I dont see these glute striations you're talking about.... or these peaking bis. Phils V taper is much more pronounced than vics... his midsection is much tighter

Yes, Phil's condition is a tad better. The pics of Vic are not as good for one, but your wrong on the rest of your assesment. The Creator is right. :dunnodude:

If Vic came in great condition, then yeah no doubt he'd beat phil in a posedown... but as far as those pics are concerned... phil wins.

^^ If only conditioning alone won bodybuilding contests! Dont get me wrong, I love phil and wish more guys came in as peeled as he does, but Vics shape from the back is incredible and will always be very difficult to beat. One of the most pleasing back double bi's I have ever seen because the muscle flows. That being said, we dont have a pick of phils improved back but I would put my money on Vic winning those shots.

Great point :2:
Conditioning is one thing, but size also counts. Vic is obviously much larger than Phil in those pics. We will just have to wait and see how Phil looks with his new size to make a better comparisson.

Although Victor clearly wins on the back shots, Phil would look much better if he was facing the camera.
