His 3D appearance, detailed muscle separation and amazing upper body of his led him to success at the highest level. Despite speculation about his return, the four-time Mr. Olympia jay cutler has shot down these notionssuggesting that “The Gift” is made of competing for good.
Last month, Heath revealed that he serve in the broadcast booth as a commentator for the 2022 Mr. Olympia contest. Although Phil will not be competing in this year’s prestigious show, he still it looks huge with a shattered physique.

Phil Heath details his current bodybuilding cycle: “I wanted it to be more optimal”
Phil Heath discussed his current bodybuilding cycle with Ron Harris of Muscular Development magazine.
“Right now… well, this week is a little different. I only take a sip three times a week. So that’s what, 100 every other day. So, I’m just doing that. Doing, DHEA, Predalone, I’m doing my Dihexa in the morning along with some T3 because my thyroid was low.
I wanted it more optimal. I was never in it as a competitor to be honest. He was always within range, but I always wanted him to be a little higher. Just because I knew he was asking me to do more in the morning.” He says Phil Heath.
Phil says that its combination of Testosterone, DHEA, Predalone, Dihexa and a bit of T3 has helped him with his morning energy levels while staying away from caffeine.
“I didn’t have time to be groggy and I didn’t want to keep consuming too much caffeine. So that was something I wanted to cut out of my diet. Since then, I haven’t really had to go to coffee, Starbucks, anything. Energy drinks: I still like the taste of them, but I don’t have to.”
Heath provided a summary of some of the other medications he is currently taking.
“Also, the BPC 157, Thymosin beta 4, now, TB 500, they took it off the market, so I have to do that. Every now and then I do some HCG, and then what else, oh, Tesamorelin and Ipamorelin at night. It is more of a Serotone GH. So, it gives me that answer, but there’s something I notice since we were talking about Growth. The growth puts up a lot of water, whereas this doesn’t, initially.”
While taking peptides, Phil noticed that it took a few months for most people who used them to see results.
“With peptides, one thing that I have noticed, because I never got into it as a professional other than Growth, is that when it comes to these drugs, it takes two or three months to see some effects. So the average person says, ‘I want to see it tomorrow,’ not man. You will see some results after a month. In the second month, you will see more and in the third month and beyond, you will see a ton.”
“It’s to put you on a path where you can take this for as long as you want without harming yourself. It’s not like I have to do cycle after cycle of some of these medications. That’s really the protocol right now,” Heath said. And the glutathione injections. Those are so incredibly important, especially in today’s society, just trying to keep the immune system up.”
It is unclear if/when the 42-year-old could make a competitive comeback, and his former manager, Hany Rambod, believes that path would be a difficult to travel. Rambod doesn’t doubt Heath’s mentality or determination, but believes he would have to present a better physique than all of his past appearances to tie.

The former champion is dedicated to preserving his physique. Heath is committed to maintaining an impressive complexion even when he’s not preparing to compete in Mr. Olympia.
