  They oughta admit to it. It’s kind of liberating to know that you’ll never look like that unless you use steroids.

    This is how I feel too. Studies show that 30% of gym goers are on steroids as well. So keep at it and don’t feel bad that you’re not at the top.

    If he was on gear he’d be way more bulked instead of just looking dehydrated.

      Depends on what he’s doing; not everyone that does steroids is going to train to look like Ronny Coleman.

      He’s tall af, they also don’t blast for years. They do maybe one or two cycles and stop.

      He looks dehydrated because he’s dehydrated in those scenes.

      kinda wild that the article boils down to: Major stars are externally motivated by the movie biz to lie about steroid use

  To the surprise of no one, Hollywood superheroes use steroids to achieve their physiques

  I like how the implication is that we’re supposed to be shocked by this information
