Phil Heath gives his predictions on who he believes will have great showings at the 2021 Olympia.
Seven-time Mr. Olympia champion Phil Heath has given his predictions on the 2021 Olympia. Who he thinks may topple Big Ramy may come as a bit of shock to, well, absolutely no one who’s in the know.
The 2021 Olympia is upon us and as such everyone is giving their insights as to who will claim victory at the big show. While many have been focused on Nick Walker after his impressive Arnold Classic victory, there are those giving other competitors more of a chance at victory.

Seven-time Mr. Olympia champion Phil Heath won’t be stepping on stage at the 2021 show. While he hasn’t confirmed his retirement it’s certainly possible that the 2020 Olympia was Heath’s final show. That said you can never be too sure as many didn’t expect him to come back at last year’s show.
But while he may not be competing at the Olympia, Phil Heath has quite a few things to say about the upcoming 2021 event.

With Big Ramy coming in as a favorite and Nick Walker growing in popularity, a great deal of the conversation has been focused on the two mass monsters. But Phil Heath apparently has it on good authority that Hadi Choopan is looking incredible heading into the show. In fact, Heath stated on Paul Bet-David’s recent podcast that he sees Choopan as the top threat to Big Ramy’s crown.

“I’ve been able to see some pics, he’s looking really dangerous right now,” said Phil Heath of Choopan.

When pressed further as to if he thinks Hadi Choopan would win the whole show Phil Heath answered carefully.

“I think it’s all about who peaks not just on Friday but who slams the door on Saturday.”

That is certainly a measured answer, but it’s true. There is quite the field of competitors at this year’s Olympia and all of them a threat to Big Ramy’s reign. With names like 2019 champion Brandon Curry, William Bonac, and now Nick Walker, Big Ramy has his work cut out for him.

But if Phil Heath is to be believed, it’ll all come down to Big Ramy and Hadi Choopan.

“My money would be a 1a/1b with Hadi and Ramy,” said Heath.
