After dabbling with the Men’s Open in the 2000s and 2010s, The Gift set out for the coveted Olympia stage. Known for his muscle density and pumped-up physique, Heath is a beast of height 5’9″, 54″ massive chest, 23″ arm, and 29″ waist. With his arms-bigger-than-legs frame, the pro has reigned on the stage of Mr. Olympia for seven years in a row. 2011 was the year when Heath conquered his maiden Sandow Trophy edging out big names like Jay Cutler, Dexter Jackson, the late Shawn Rhoden, and rival Kai Greene.
