What this episode covers

Phil Heath is a 7x Mr. Olympia champion and considered by many to be one of the best bodybuilders to ever exist in the sport. Beyond skyrocketing to fame due to his killer physique and many Olympia titles - he was also featured in the feature film documentary Generation Iron. This put him into an even bigger stratosphere of notoriety beyond fans of the sport. It also made many believe Heath was a villain of bodybuilding. An athlete that needed to be defeated by an underdog like Kai Greene. In our latest episode of the Generation Iron Podcast - Victor Martinez, Vlad Yudin, and Ehsan Farahi debate whether or not the film is at fault for Phil Heath's villain status. Or was it simply his own confident personality and a desire to see a champion fall that earned him the title of "villain."
