"Heath won the 2005 Mr. USA title on his pro debut on 500 milligrams of testosterone and one shot of “Deca” (nandrolone decanoate) per week. Per
Medinica, “nandrolone decanoate is considered to have strong anabolic effects but weak androgenic effects.”
. . .
Heath won his first two pro shows as a natural athlete because he knew several bodybuilders in Colorado who took PEDs had developed negative side effects and were not winning shows. After researching
anabolic steroids, Heath concluded that the risks of taking PEDs early in his career weren’t worth the tradeoff. Additionally, Heath harbored concerns about the IFBB potentially implementing drug testing."
Phil Heath shares which performance-enhancing drugs he took during his pro bodybuilding career and the doses of each.

I do not buy that, at all.
On the other hand, the same article says this:
"He disclosed that his highest weekly testosterone dosage was 1,300 milligrams and that he never used insulin.
I do sort of buy that, but only because I have heard so many other IFBB pros say that they have diminishing returns over 1000 to 1250 or so mg a week of testosterone, and that they use this as a base and add other things to it. He probably figured the same when he went higher and returned to a 1300 per week dose - which is higher than several other pros have discussed (many, many on various podcasts, some still alive, like Fouad Abiad, some dead, like Luke Sandoe, and lots of guests on Abiad's show saying the same thing, as well as other pro bodybuilder podcasts). Notice that Phil Heath is not saying anything about whether he took other things with that dosage of testosterone. He is just saying testosterone highest was 1300 a week, which fits in with what many other pros have said.
But winning multiple pro shows as a natty and also 500mg of test and 250 deca,
for prep, no, I am not buying it. Sorry.
