“Ferraris Will Always Beat That Sh**”: Breaking Silence on His PEDs Intake, Phil Heath Relates to $7 Billion Hollywood Franchise as He Warns About Detrimental Consequences of Steroids

The fitness and bodybuilding community has recently faced the loss of many athletes and fitness models due to the ever-growing use of anabolics. Back in the day, due to limited access, only pro athletes used to consume steroids, and that too in low dosages. However, access to these drugs is much easier now. Even the new lifters are now heavily relying on and abusing these compounds without the proper knowledge. This lack of experience and patience often leads to mishaps.

However, it is not only the drugs that transform an athlete into a champion. Building a base and spending enough time training as a natural athlete is essential before hopping on gear. Talking along the same lines, 7X Mr. Olympia Phil Heath recently revealed during a podcast with Chris Williamson about the perfect time to start using steroids.

Phil Heath gives an interesting analogy for PED’s timely usage

People often look up to professional bodybuilders and wonder what their physique will look like once they start using performance-enhancing drugs. With a lot of wrong expectations in mind, teenage lifters start using these compounds without proper guidance. While using anabolics can be fatal to one’s health, not everyone can become Mr. Olympia only by abusing steroids. Phil Heath educated the audience about this by explaining that it is essential to train as a natural athlete for a sufficient period before even considering using PEDs. Even champions like Ronnie Coleman did not take steroids for a long time and competed naturally initially.

Explaining this with an analogy of a $7 billion Hollywood franchise, Heath used a ‘Fast and Furious reference and stated, “The guy that hits the nitrous too fast in the race loses every time…because handmade handcrafted Ferraris will always beat that sh** and if you put a little bit of a mod on that thing, you can’t catch him.”

He further educated the audience by pointing out that it is crucial to reach your genetic potential and get the maximum gains possible before hopping on a cycle. This would ensure that your physique looks even better when you start using these compounds after achieving your genetic potential.

Adding to this, Heath emphasized the fact that there is also fake and low-quality gear available on the market that one should stay away from. “You really want to tax your body; you really want to take something that you really don’t know? That could really hurt you,” Heath said.
