Mr Olympia 2018 Phil Heath vs Shawn Rhoden

Mr. Olympia 2018 just wrapped up a few days ago Shawn Rohden became the new Mr Olympia 2018 by defeating the 7X Mr. Olympia  Phil Heath aka 'THE GIFT', but was the judging fair? Let's find out.



1.Front Lat Spread

Well, both are hitting this pose well but still, i will give this pose to Shawn Rohden, his chest looks striated, Phil's chest is also poping but looks little soft.
So, Shawn Rohden wins this pose.



2.Front Double Biceps

This pose no doubt  goes to Shawn Rohden, Shawn hits this pose like a classic physique athlete, Phil, on the other hand, looks a bit soft, his muscles are not tightly pressed seems like he is holding some water and abdominal area of Phil is also not looking good
So, Shawn Rohden wins this pose.



3.Back Double Biceps

Back has been Phil's strongest point,the lats are attached very low that is why muscle definition looks good.Shawn's back doesn't look that conditioned but his hamstrings and glutes look well defined, Phil, on the other hand, his glutes and hamstrings don't look as good as Shawn's, but overall Phil takes this pose
Phil heath wins this pose.


4.Back Lat Spread

Shawn Rohden hits this pose very bad, Phil, on the other hand, Phil has the strongest of back, so, Phil Heath wins this pose easily.
So, Phil Heath wins this pose.


5.Side Triceps

This pose is very difficult to judge because both have their pros and cons.
Phil's triceps are much better than Shawn's triceps but, Shawn's abdomen, hamstrings, and glutes are looking better than Phil's.
So, this pose is a tie.


6.Abs and Thighs

This is the worst pose of the 7X Mr Olympia Phil Heath his abdomen looks very worse, the abdomen is also the weakest part of Phil Heath, on the other hand, Shawn has brought the best abs this year that is the main reason behind his Mr Olympia 2018 win.
Shawn rohden wins this pose.






7.Most Muscular

This pose is Phil's strength but this year due to his abdomen, I think he has lost this pose also, this pose has been Phil's strength over the years but not this year, Shawn Rohden is hitting this like a pro.
but i think Phil could have won this pose if he would have hit like a crab because on that pose his abdomen would have not been visible to judges.But overall Shawn takes this pose




8.Side Chest

Before commenting on this pose just look at Shawn's hamstrings and glutes, they just look WOW.
Phil Heath is also looking good, his chest looks striated but the lower body in this pose is just Shawn's. Phil's triceps are also looking good but again his abdomen is spoiling the pose.
So, overall Shawn takes this pose.






In the end, Shawn takes 5 poses, Phil takes 2 poses and side triceps pose was a tie.
So, Shawn is the clear winner here and also well deserved, Phil's only problem was his gut and some water and I think he can come next year with his controlled gut and win the show and tie with Ronnie Coleman and Lee Haney for 8X Mr Olympia.
