Synopsis

Phil Heath is considered one of the most muscular men on the planet. He travels the world making a living from his 'muscles' as one of today's elite-level professional bodybuilders. From the hard work at the gym to the pressures of competing to maintaining a positive relationship with his family, it's all part of Phil's quest to become Mr. Olympia; the ultimate bodybuilding title. In Gifted, we peek behind the curtain of one of the world's most fascinating and bizarre sports. Can Phil achieve his dream to become the greatest bodybuilder in the world? The film includes behind the scenes footage at the Olympia, gut-wrenching training, interviews with Phil's family, friends, and body building community.
