The most anticipated documentary, Breaking Olympia: The Phil Heath Story, is officially released. The seven-time Mr. Olympia shared this news on his official Instagram account, sharing a montage of the documentary talking about the hardships he faced on his journey to be the finest in the sport.

Heath’s real father, Donald Heath, passed away in March 2014, which left a void in the seven-time Mr. Olympia’s heart that was never filled. Even to this date, he still misses his father and often has dreams about him. The 44-year-old former bodybuilder shared an emotional moment with his father, which still makes him emotional. He went to his father just six weeks before his Olympia, and he won that show. 

He did not only struggle with his father’s death, leaving a void. Heath won his 2017 Mr. Olympia by dealing with two hernias. During his training, he heard a sound, and he thought this could be the end of his career. The Gift was dethroned by Shawn Rhoden in the 2018 Mr. Olympia, and after that, the seven-time Mr. Olympia felt like giving up and said,” I wanted to k*ll myself.” But Heath didn’t give up and thought of coming back to the sport.
