Biography Phil hit

As a child, he was distinguished by a love of game sports, in particular for basketball. In the year, Phil entered the University of Denver, where he was admitted to the men's basketball team for the position of a shooter shooter, in view of his short stature. The hit proved to be a very promising and valuable player and soon became indispensable in the team. Playing in a real basketball league was the dream of all the guys of the area where Phil lived.

And he did not want to miss his chance. This made him train with special zeal and zeal. The hit always remained in the hall after training and threw the ball into the ring for a long time, honing his skill and developed his muscles in order to somehow compensate for the lack of growth. A year later, the Phil team became the winner of the first student division and he was awarded a personalized sports scholarship.

With the graduation of the university in the year, the Heat career as a basketball player ended. However, this sport gave him a lot and above all: iron persistence in the desire to achieve the goal, endurance and discipline. The last Phil notes especially, since without self -control and the ability to clearly follow the instructions of the coach cannot succeed in any sport.

The first time after the release, Phil tried to continue playing basketball. So he came to one of Denver’s sports halls, where he soon remained to train, but already as a novice bodybuilder. The hit did not take such a decision immediately: he critically appreciated his chances to become a professional player and realized that at 23, with his low growth, it would not be easy for him to break into any worthwhile team.

However, by that time he had already had an excellent pumped up body, which developed years of training. Phil understood this and decided to invest all his forces and funds in bodybuilding. He turned to the specialists for help, who compiled a training program for him and explained the principles of proper sports nutrition. As the hit admitted a few years later, the latter was the most difficult for him: being a player, he ate a little 3 times a day, but now he had to do this 6, or even 7 times.

Phil Hit began preparing for his first bodybuilding tournament in his life - the North Colorado championship has taught how to take a hit seriously and bodybuilding was no exception. Phil firmly decided, by all means to become an outstanding bodybuilder. And the first thing that was to do on this path was to win a tournament in Colorado. The hit bought a camera and shot himself from different angles every week.

So he could see which muscles lagging behind in development, which is needed an additional load and how it progresses. The Northern Colorado Championship of the year not only brought Phil's first victory as a bodybuilder, but also brought him with the upward bodybuilding superstar with professional bodybuilder Jay Katler, who was invited to a guest performance tournament.

Jay was surprised by the success of the newcomer and decided, after the speech, to talk with him personally. So Phil hit met his future friend and mentor. The following year, the hit becomes Mr. Colorado, and a year later, Junior Musionals and the US Championship in the heavy weight category won and becomes a professional. For three years of performances, the hit has not suffered a single defeat.

He grown up to the status of a professional as quickly as no one had done this before him. The whole sports world begins to talk about the successes of the summer athlete. In the world of professional bodybuilding, many bodybuilders have nicknames received for any merits and Phil Hita was immediately assigned-“The Gift” or “Gift”, “Talent”, which clearly said about the exclusivity of his personality.

Professional sport is a completely different level and the hit would have been not easy, if not for the help of his acquaintance, by that time “without five minutes” of the new Mr. Olympia, Jay Catler. A few months before the Olympia began, Jay undertook to train the hit. Only then, Phil understood how far he was from the ideal of the bodybuilder. In an interview with the year, to the question of how he liked the first joint training with Jay, Phil answered: “I thought he was in shape today, but he just tapped my ass!

Katler literally exhausted the hit in training, often overloaded and did not give a rest at all. Moreover, the hit could not even get close to the scales that Jay worked. I tried not to miss a single word of Cathler. In his treatment with a hit, Katler was to equal: about this way, Jay was coaching Jay by his mentor, and now the main opponent of Ronnie Kolman, who later had to give in to the palm of the championship to his student at Olympia, now Catler saw in the young “giving” himself a new one and wanted to educate him according to the same scheme that he once went through.

In one hall, another fast -progressive bodybuilder, who soon became a good friend, Phil, Kai Green, trained with them. He also became an involuntary listener of the “lectures” of Cathler in the hall and soon became friends with him.Meanwhile, Phil hit significantly progressed and took part in his first Olympia in the year, where he immediately took the third line, losing to “silver” to his teacher.

Katler clearly felt that his student began to “step on his heels,” but the tricky questions of journalists regarding the hit always answered that he was very glad to success his friend and ward. In the year, Phil did not quite successfully perform in this tournament, taking only 5th place. Kai Green was the fourth, and the first Jay Katler. The failure of the hit was largely due to the injury of the shoulder received by him in training.

He was restored for a long time and did not have time to dial the desired shape. His main rival was the same Cutler, whose winning meant everything for the hit. In the same year, he said in his interview: “After about 20 years, I will tell my children that such a master as Jay Katler trained me, the real Mr. Olympia Jay was already 38 years old, while Filu Hita was barely in the same situation, he himself was overcome by Ronnie Kolman at the Olympia.

Before the tournament of the year, Catler could repeat that history could not be repeated, but he was not a story. For which, in particular, this year, however, thanks to the excellent preparation, Fil Hit became the new Mr. Olympia, shifting his comrade Jay Katler to the second place. And, in the end, he received the long -awaited title, which fully confirmed his nickname "Gift".

In total, the hit won 7 titles of Olympia in the victorious series per year. In the year, he took second place, losing the title of champion Shonu Roden, and the last time he went on stage of the competition with the third place. Related materials:.
