'Yes, I Cheated' Phil Heath On Performance-Enhancing Drugs And Transgender Athletes

[@romerosneck]

It's not cheating if everyone else is doing it, you literally can't compete in bodybuilding without it

[@lbmuscle]

I agree. Especially on a pro level.

[@untilyoupuke]

@@lbmusclepiers knows nothing about the sport

[@NattyHub]

There are some, who' would consider a person on steroids a mentally weak person, because they do not possess the mental toughness to accept their body's natural limitations and are willing to accept the health consequences (sometimes fatal) that are. caused by steroid use. Is that strength or health? Doesn't the human Body always want to return to its natural, healthyl state? I personally have no opinion on the matter, Just raising a question.

[@NZZN666]

@@NattyHub As a bodybuilder you'll never reach the very top without steroids so it not about mental toughness it's about "Do I want to be the best at this?" If the answer is yes, a bodybuilder has no choice but to take steroids. Coleman did, Yates did, Cutler did etc etc.

He didn't say he cheated. He said he used steroids in an arena that everyone is using them in. You wouldn't even be able become an IFBB pro unless you're enhanced.

​@@NattyHubIt is temporarily enhanced and the body never goes back to its normal state because the hormone(testosterone) that spiked so high during the enhancement period or cycle crashes lower than the normal level afterwards if they don't keep taking the PEDs.

What an excellent interview. I have a new respect for Phil Heath.

[@Big_dazb]

I met Phil at an expo many years ago when Jay was still Mr.O, and it baffled me the reputation he had once he was Mr.O, as the man i met was an absolute gent! It was a pleasure to meet him. And in this interview i think he portrays that more gentlemanly side which i believe is his true nature. Lovely guy. He came across, really articulate and intelligent. Conducted himself very well. 👍 and well done to Piers, for hosting such a mature and well thought out interview with a great world champion of bodybuilding, too many ‘journalists’ do not take bodybuilders seriously. Whether you agree with their choices to use PED’s or not is irrelevant, its their choice, and its in their sport, and its not tested so its a level playing field and at least within bodybuilding its more ‘open & honest’ and a very mature discussion held by both men. Great interview. Look forward to Phil’s documentary now 👍

Eh people like drama, and when they can't find any they'll make some up. They'll take someone at the top of their game saying they are the best in the world (when they actually are) and call them arrogant for just saying the truth. They'll start asking a guy who's been dieting for 6 months stupid questions and act all surprised when he seems a bit annoyed. Then there was all the people who wanted to see Kai Greene win and were trying to portray him as some kind of underdog fighting the bodybuilding royalty establishment gatekeepers or some silly shit like that.

This is actually the first time I see Phil in an interview. He seems like a decent and modest human being. Mind you this is only 1 interview and a small snippet, but, he seems like a cool dude. Respect

[@RealNOPAINSNOGAINS]

It's awesome to see bodybuilders get recognized and are somewhat being brought into the mainstream

[@stephenswindle3839]

Great interview man couldn’t have been more professional and cordial between you too two thumbs up.👍👍💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏

[@verginone]

Great interview he did not shy away from any topic 👏

[@ivanduvok]

Go on Piers, that was nice at the end, I got a good feeling, right on, mate!

[@JJ-om6nx]

Piers Morgan about Leah Thomas swimming against women; to me it’s nuts.. Yes Piers, you’re completely right.

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

Phil Heath's head is his biggest body part!! It's literally enormous! It dwarfs his upper body.

[@dietrickvann.2748]

As a former model and actor in Hollywood I've spent time with most of the competitors at Gold's Gym Venice Beach CA. At six foot seven, 5% bf/245 lbs, I have no chance winning or even competing in BB but it is so much fun to train with them and learn. What I can say is that it is absolutely the hardest sport that I know at the top level. Genetics do play a huge role in winning but they don't play any role in being healthy and having fun, looking as good as you can within your genetic and dedication margins. Training on the right diet, unenhanced is actually good for you, and doesn't require all that much time (45 min. 4 to 5 times per week).

[@David-lx4yb]

Genetics play a huge role in bodybuilding. The problem is that those who don’t have the genetics to get where they want, all cry foul in the name of wanting “equality.”

[@Doug-xx3eh]

Fantastic! One of your best interviews.

[@joel_13_]

I met him once, he spent a good 10 mins talking to me. Such a genuine guy.

[@billydmac10]

Really cool segment. It’s so interesting how people not into bodybuilding think bodybuilders are “strong”. Though Phil is strong that’s never been his calling card and in the industry wouldn’t be considered strong. Phil is a great ambassador for the sport.

[@MrBorndd]

You really did him dirty with that title

[@maurice2014]

These conversations always prove the saying, “How you do anything is how you do everything.”

[@midnytevega2777]

Was never a Phil heath fan and his fued with Kai Greene only worsened that, but since his Olympia loss, this guy has transformed into an incredible human being. I hope I'm alive to see much more of him. I tip my hat to you Champ

[@mannysfitnessfortress989]

Great interview with Mr. Olympia Phil Health!

[@melusishange3471]

I started to follow him around 2012 he is one of the guys I enjoyed watching no swearing always calm and well articulate..

[@Shreadington]

The early 2000s was a great era for bodybuilding. Jay Cutler and Phil were a huge inspiration to me as a young competitor. I still compete in the Masters now. It's an enjoyable lifestyle that's motivated my kids to get in the gym and train with me.

[@schmui]

16:47 "dabbled in that" 😂

[@DrBeauHightower]

He's the goat TBH. I rank him above Arnold and Ronnie

[@masskachka]

Top man, Great interview 💪💪

[@sheheryarkhan6033]

Great Interview! Mr Heath is very well-spoken. True champion!

[@huhwachusay]

That was actually a pretty intelligent interview. I liked it.

[@ali-karimi1]

This was amazing! Thanks to Piers and Phil!

[@pablomacias7393]

When phill started I said he would break the record with more wins and when he started losing or quitting I was confused because I saw phill as the future of bodybuilding,I guess he and fans felt the same way,I’m glad to see him back and going for what him and people were expecting ,as long as he’s safe about it,I think he can bring it back!

[@OLLITEALE]

I agree I watched the whole thing, thought it was nice to let Phil heath talk about what it takes to be a body builder.

[@bobsiddoway]

Phil seems like such a solid dude! Hope he’s healthy!
