You could take every steroid he is taking and unless you followed his strict diet and workout regimen you would just get really, really fat.
Pro Bodybuilders make a lot of money off of endorsements by winning contests. It's a science for Mr. Olympia IFBB competitors.
All they do is eat, workout, and sleep (sleep is when your muscles actually rebuild and grow).
I used to read Muscle And Fitness a lot when I first started getting into shape. And the pro bodybuilders day is very, very strict. Steroids won't do anything except help them rebuild muscle faster so there is less "downtime" for the next workout.
A guy like that will mostly sleep and eat. They set alarm clocks and keep their pre-prepared chicken or fish and rice meals in their bedrooms. They get woke up every 2 hours to eat.
It takes a lot of protein and calories to achieve that kind of muscle mass...and it's a full time job for them.
Of course people just think it's as easy as taking steroids and lifting some weights. But it's much, much more than that. They have entire teams that are measuring meals, protein, calories, hours of sleep, water retention and of course almost daily blood draws to be tested for any liver or kidney damage.
There is a lot of money at stake in pro bodybuilding.

^this..
i have nothing against fitness/body building - i wish i had the discipline to work out more
i just think there's a point where it becomes painfully obvious that the human body is not made for some results you see - like the dude above or women that have beards and clits like small penises
one of our long time male actors went through it all - steroid abuse until it didnt look natural anymore, breakdown, almost died, lost 30 kilo of muscles, started over again - this time without drugs.
he looks decent now but those guys have only one topic they can talk about and no other hobbies and interests.
and when i see that they even take their tasteless rice and chicken to parties cause they won't eat regular food anymore and get panic attacks cause they get stuck somewhere and won't make it home in time for their scheduled meal then i know that for myself that is something i would never even remotely consider.
i rather stay chubby and enjoy my life
