Breaking Olympia: The Phil Heath Story Releasing March 25

For it coming out this month I've heard almost no talk of it. This is the documentary The Rock's company produced that follows Heath on his comeback and the second unexpected hernia surgery he needed.

He just doesn’t have a good personality. Most people wouldn’t make it 15 min in listening to him before they turn it off.

Still think it will be interesting and worth a watch. I just wonder how much they'll censor the gear use, maybe downplaying doses/compounds and putting a classic Hollywood spin on it? Or is it going to be an unfiltered documentary?

This is not aimed at a mainstream audience that doesn't know bodybuilding. The only people watching it will be bodybuilders and I doubt any of them will turn it off after 10-15 minutes of Heath talking.

Regarding Heath's personality - he does have a good one, he just rarely shows it.

Given that The Rock is legitimately the biggest movie star in the world I wouldn't expect much PED talk. I'm just looking forward to a high quality bodybuilding documentary - very few have been done over the years and I'd watch one on just about any pro.

It is a known fact that most fans within the industry are not interested in Phil as a personality. In his time of reign, Kai, DLB or Ramy were much more popular.

The trailer looks like it was a tougher battle than it really was, so it looks fake. His injury doesn't compare to Nick's, to give a recent example.

P: The director of this documentary has another very interesting one about marijuana.

I think they were hoping he'd have been more successful in the show, to make a feel-good comeback story, maybe that's why it took a while for this to be released?

Phil was always rocked by any diss from a fan or competitor, which was hard to underatand as he was so freaking good and had proved himself so many times. He "should" never have been affected by negative comments but he was.
