The Wives’ Club
Exclusively written for Hany Rambod’s www.fst-7.com website it is my pleasure to bring you this series of interviews with the “better halves” of very well known IFBB professional bodybuilders, appropriately titled as the “Wives’ Club Interviews”.
This series of interviews was conducted with the women who, as the cliché goes, “stand behind the men” or as I have always been inclined to put it: “stand beside their men”. These ladies are all unique and individual however, they share one common intrinsic trait. They are very strong and very understanding to say the least. Some may classify these ladies as a very rare breed in the general populace but they are commonplace in the small bodybuilding community as we know it, in the relationships that work and last anyways! The grueling and “mind altering” diets their husbands have to endure, (those of you who have done it know what I mean) in addition to the selfish schedule and dedication they have to the gym, it not only takes patience and ultra-supportiveness but strength to be able to sustain and maintain a happy home. Their husbands spend a lot of time under the spot light on many occasions showcasing their determination, effort and mind blowing physiques. It is long overdue and about time to spotlight these ladies for their endurance and dedication to their men and their relationships.
My first interview was with the very beautiful Mrs. Jennie Heath , IFBB Professional Phil Heath’s wife. For those that have been living under a rock and do not know who her husband is allow me to enlighten you. Phil is currently the third best bodybuilder in the world. This year alone, he placed third in his Olympia Debut, placed second at the Arnold Classic prior to that, and won the Ironman Pro. Not to mention that as a rookie he won his first two pro shows competing amongst outstanding seasoned veterans. Not bad for a man who has only been competing for 5 years total and only 3 years as a professional. I don’t think anyone would argue that Phil has one of the best support teams in the industry and Jennie has been there every step of the way! Now that we are all up to speed, let’s get to the interview.
