Is The Rock on steroids? Here's why it doesn't really matter
There is a lot of buzz around performance-enhancing drugs, which is understandably a problem in competitive sports that have a certain reputation to defend and maintain. The idea of an athlete wanting to compete "naturally" and just win a contest or gain an advantage through old-school hard work makes many people stop.
But the "steroid debate" extends well beyond the sports world and is often directed at stars like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Does The Rock take steroids? Honestly, it shouldn't matter if it is.
Personally speaking (and this is just my opinion, I am not a doctor or a qualified expert on the subject), I think it is possible that The Rock has been juicing for a long time and will continue to do so as he ages. Its results are absolutely wild, and as a great meme says: only The Rock can make The Rock look small.
Seriously, just take a look at these photos. The first was from WWE around 1998 and the other is from 2021. Dwayne Johnson was born in 1972. Let that sink in.
Okay, I know what you're thinking. Well, he really hasn't changed that much in size, he's just cut more, he's dieting better, he's not taking days off, he's constantly hitting the gym, and he's eating lean protein and slow-burning carbs with a lot of veggies every other or three hours.
Yes, I listen to everything you say. But I also want to submit some other photographic evidence of the pro-bodybuilding physique The Rock is forging. Black Adam.
One of the biggest "open secrets" in athletics, pro wrestling, and Hollywood is steroid use. I've worked with guys who were "on" and "off" in the loop. Heck, I played with growth hormone and anavar in the past before I did. And while my body dysmorphia didn't really allow me to see how much size and definition I gained, when I look back at photos from that time period, I realize how much it helped me. MAN helped.
So if you're an actor who needs to look a certain way to start filming in three or four months, you won't get a six-pack overnight. What you can do is stick to an extremely restrictive diet, do a ton of cardio, and focus on "glamorous muscle" workouts that will help you appear on screen. Then on the day of said shirtless scene, you need to dehydrate as much as possible and perk up between takes.
But even all of that won't give you a fearsome physique that's "superhuman" because we're hiring mortals to literally portray powerful gods and comic book creations. Considering the fact that The Rock was involved in sports, professional wrestling, and now at the highest levels in Hollywood, and has a similar body type to people who literally only exercise for a living, it doesn't stop to be able to think that you are taking steroids.
If The Rock is on steroids, then he certainly can afford to do it in the "best" way possible.
Steroids are often painted as the big bogeyman of the sports world with horror stories about people misusing them with disastrous results. However, there are also many people who do 'roid' and do it 'the right way'. In fact, there are several professional wrestlers who have acknowledged juicing, and while some lament the obsession, others think there is a safe way to do it.
José Canseco even outlined how to get a doctor to prescribe you steroids, and if you have the money, like The Rock has, have a doctor regularly check your blood work and testosterone levels and endocrine system to make sure you are not causing permanent damage. . to your ability to produce hormones or the ability of your organs to function.
The Rock can also afford 'pharmaceutical grade' steroids - testosterone and growth hormone mixed with a few other medications to create a delicate biological balancing act that allows you to work even harder than you already do. That's the thing: steroids are a "shortcut" to a better body, but to get the kind of results that massively defined and muscular people get, then you will have to exercise. hard. What The Rock does.
So does Dwayne Johnson take steroids? If so, you can definitely afford to do it 'safely', as many have argued is possible in the past, and you seem to be doing a great job of making it work so that you can live the kind of life you want. . far. Also, it's not like he's competing in the Olympics - he just entertains a group of people in movies and TV shows.
