Training to get fit for pursuing different sports, in fact, laid the foundation of Hill’s bodybuilding career. Hill’s body responded beautifully to weight training and he started to build quality muscle. In a few years, when he was 19, Phil Hill was ready to compete professionally.

He spent the next four years improving his physique and returned to compete in bigger and more prominent bodybuilding shows. Hill won his next two shows – the 1986 AAU Mr. America and the 1987 NPC National Championships.

Hill’s professional bodybuilding debut came in 1988 when he secured a runner-up finish at that year’s Niagara Falls Pro. He became an overnight sensation because of his excellent proportions, muscle definition, and overall great package.

His next competitive appearance brought the biggest moment of his professional bodybuilding career as the New Jersey Native got past several top contenders to win the 1988 Night of Champions.

The win brought the first opportunity to compete on the grandest stage of bodybuilding – Mr. Olympia. Hill’s progression in the sport was quick and he finished 12th at the 1988 Mr. Olympia. The veteran bodybuilder grabbed attention for his creative posing routine at the show, which is still remembered in the industry.

Phill Hill continued to participate in bodybuilding competitions for the next two years and retired after the 1990 Night of Champions.

While pursuing a bodybuilding career, Hill also worked as a correctional officer for the New Jersey Trenton State Prison. Little is known about his life after retirement. But irrespective of the length of his career, Phil Hill will always be remembered for being one of the best competitors from the 1980s era.
