Famous Backs: Phil Heath

He was regarded as the favorite the next year after becoming the first novice to finish in the top three. But it will take him three years to become a member of the bodybuilding elite.  The title had been decided when he locked his double biceps and spread his back lats, which he did in 2011, defeating his fierce rival and mentor Jay Cutler.
