The bodybuilding world never misses a chance to amuse its fans. There’s always room for a bit of friendly banter, and the recent exchange between Phil Heath and his long-time rival Kai Greene is a testament to that statement. See, the even-time Mr. Olympia Heath recently proudly flaunted his impressive neck in an Instagram post. But it wasn’t just that he was flaunting, he was also advertising his impressive collection of Olympias. One could almost be certain it was a brag. Only, Kai Green had something cheeky to say about it.

In the Instagram post, Heath playfully called out fellow fitness enthusiasts who focus on rocking their Cuban chains but may be neglecting their neck muscles. He confidently declared, “They ain’t got these, though. Ain’t got these.” The fitness community, always eager for a glimpse into the routines of top bodybuilders, was fascinated by Heath’s joking about neck training as he mentioned in the caption, “Don’t skip neck day.”

However, Kai Greene, never one to shy away from a challenge or a playful jab, responded with a simple yet intriguing question: “How much does that weigh?” He was, of course, referring to the Olympia medals. Heath, in good spirits, replied directly to Greene, asking, “@kaigreene you really wanna know?”  The exchange between the two champions sparked curiosity among fans and fellow bodybuilders alike.
