The Rock must be having steroids for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!!

Some of these responses are so ridiculous, I almost can't believe they're serious.

"(I believe Hugh is on a 6000 calorie a day diet - almost fatal amounts if done wrong)"

6000 cals a day is no where near a "fatal amount" if done wrong. It's a near fatal poop at the end of the day maybe, but that's about it. You'll get fat if your macro balance is off, yes, but it's not impossible to take in 6k cals a day if you're a bodybuilder/gaining mass. I know people who do it, and they're not on steroids.

"You can tell people who stick steroids up there bum. They look fake and very liquidy."

Lmao, I don't even know where to start. They look fake and very liquidy? No, I believe that's a result of improper use of site enhancing oils (SEOs). A commonly known SEO is "Synthol" which is designed to be used in combination with AAS (Anabolic androgenic steroids) in order to allow sufficient room for muscle growth by stretching the fascia surrounding the muscle.

However, the "instant" effect of Synthol and other SEOs has resulted in it being used much like muscle implants, to mimic the effect of extensive hypertrophy without doing any work in the gym. This is especially popular in South America, but definitely not exclusively limited to that region.

This results in disgusting, deformed and watery looking muscle groups. That said, proper use of site enhancing oil will not stand out.

As far as actual indicators that someone is juicing? Usually the first muscles to noticeably increase in size are delts and traps. This is due to the higher amounts of androgen receptors found in these muscle groups.

Also, you don't have to inject in your bum. ;)

He couldn't be a professional wrestle if he was on steroids? My friend, you must have gone full retard if you think there isn't an enormous amount of steroids and other drugs being passed around in professional wrestling circles.

As far as The Rock being on steroids, he came off when he stopped wrestling, hence the lost mass/weight, but if he had to gain a huge amount of lean body mass in a short period of time (for this film, for example) he could have very easily used AAS. Did he? Who's to say, I'm not really that interested because it honestly doesn't matter. The sheer ignorance when it comes to steroid usage in the general public is what disturbs me, don't believe everything you hear on the news. Do some independent research.

And no I'm not on steroids lol, I'm just an avid weightlifter who will probably start juicing later. It always pays to know your stuff first right? :)

BTW there are far worse drugs than steroids, even in the bodybuilding/weight lifting community. Peptide use (namely, human growth hormone and especially insulin) can lead to large, distended stomachs you see on most bodybuilders today. Just sayin'
