The big reason is guys like Lui Marco. He is bashing Phil in social media for years.
First he favored Kai. Then Ramy. Always had no critique for them. But lots for Phil.
No idea why but this guy has a huge following. He was never at a contest and always judges based on selected pics. Favorable ones for Kai or Ramy. Unfavorable ones for Heath.
I asked him why he does that. Ge made a ton of posts on Insta regarding the O. Never got an answer. So I asked again. And boom I was blocked.
Phils gut is a problem indeed. But since guys like Lui Marco are everywhere they for sure are the bigger problem. Everybody now seems to think he woud be the best judge in the world but in the end they dont realize that they only reduplicate what questionable other guys have hammered in their minds for a 1000 times.
He's just a random guy with an opinion, what's the problem? No one is forced to take him seriously.
People seem to like his style and funny sayings.
Lots of pros use him due to his Instagram following, which is everything these days. Phil tried use him too for years. But why if he is a know-nothing? Because he has a big web precense. But when he says things you don't like he's suddenly just a useless hater. If he was favorable to Phil Phil would try to be "best friends" with him.
Fact of the matter is that lots of bodybuilding fans agree with the gut issue even without knowing about Lui.
