No, not that Hulk...

This should be DLC for WWE 13.

He was Fred Flintstone last year.

That wig makes him look like Justin Gabriel's long lost cousin.

I know it's a stupid question, but is The Rock on steroids?

[–]Memento1979 10 points11 points ago

It's not that stupid a question, but it's too wide in scope as it stands. To get a more manageable answer, how about, "List which steroids The Rock isn't on".

[–]retrospectsCult of Confusion 2 points3 points ago

We need Punk to compile a list...

[–]optimumINmundiArsehole 1 point2 points ago

Given all your downvotes, looks like rock fanboys are as naive as lance Armstrong fanboys

[–]Memento1979 6 points7 points ago

It's cool, I can take plenty. Just like The Rock...

[–]prisonmsagro 5 points6 points ago

I'm not sure why people think an actor taking steroids is such a bad thing for movie roles. It can't be uncommon and I don't really see an issue as long as they're not in a real competition.

[–]Memento1979 3 points4 points ago

It's really not a bad thing at all, and he almost certainly has prescriptions for anything he's taking, so it's not like he's breaking any laws.

[–]CaptainCadbury 1 point2 points ago

If you discount the negative side effects on his body.

[–]rainman1 3 points4 points ago

Consider that he's likely been on some steroids in the FIRST picture:

More like the hulk dressed up as the rock

[–]dipdripson 3 points4 points ago

You'd think he'd find somebody who could paint him better.

[–]Numlocks 3 points4 points ago

He ate the painter before he could finish.

[–]gnarcissusvegan ice cream bars? 1 point2 points ago

No, that was Ryback.

[–]cainmadnessFuel the Spaceship! 4 points5 points ago

I don't know, Rock can put away some food on his cheat days.

Fuck, i want pancakes.

[–]LearnsSomethingNew 1 point2 points ago

Those aren't cheat days. He needs the calories to recover and build muscle mass. Remember, squats and oats. The oats are just as important as the squats.

Also, the HGH.

[–]cainmadnessFuel the Spaceship! 0 points1 point ago

He called them his cheat days on his Facebook. His words, not mine.

[–]Wakers 3 points4 points ago

Hey, that's the hair that he had when he made his debut in wrestling!

[–]JreynoldFree Sunglasses 7 points8 points ago

I can't believe Rock went the cheap route and bought one of those fake plastic muscle costumes.

What?

[–]neverendingdrums 4 points5 points ago

Okay I'm gonna throw this question out here, because I've only just started bodybuilding in the last few months and I still barely know anything about this sort of stuff, but is it possible to get this big without using steroids?

I mean, the diet I'm on at the minute is quite extreme and I've noticed massive changes in just a few months. My best friend is a bodybuilder who wants to be a future Mr. Olympia and he reckons that I can get to Rock's size in 4 or 5 years; however, when I mentioned to him that I read an interview where the Rock said he used steroids for about a month and then came off them because he didn't see any advantage, my friend also said that the month he spent on steroids will be the reason he's so big now.

Any bodybuilders or the like care to help me out here? I'd love to get to Rock's size because I already have the height and frame, and I personally think he's just on the brink of being too big but isn't quite there.

[–]Chukwulatte 1 point2 points ago

I dont think its illegal to use steroids for movies. :#

[–]Poloniculmov 1 point2 points ago

Steroids are a controlled substance in the US.

[–]Xtortion08I'm a snake! 3 points4 points ago

Prescriptions do not care....

[–]CaptainCadbury 3 points4 points ago

Prescriptions generally should not be given out for "The Rock wants some sick guns".

[–]MrGregory 1 point2 points ago

This is a pic of Arnold before he found steroids link

I think in his book, he said he found steroids after coming to America and realized that other body builders were using it as an advantage.

[–]dodgergabeNatty Physiques Only 0 points1 point ago

That's not a natural physique. Use this to calculate what you can get up too. After 2-5 years of solid training your FFMI should be at close to the max naturally which is 25.

Edit: Scratch the 2-5 years, should be 5+ years

[–]avdale 6 points7 points ago

Fat Free Mass Index is largely bullshit peddled by a few 'natural' guys to try and prove to the world how many drugs they totally didn't take.

There's no one constant which works for the entire worlds body. The Rock has taken entire pharmacies of illegal drugs and you will have to as well if you want to look like him

[–]dodgergabeNatty Physiques Only 3 points4 points ago

Pubmed study which states the limit is around 25. It's not gonna be exact, just a general guideline.

Obviously Rock is on steroids and probably every top "natural" bodybuilder (especially the Heavyweights) is as well, no one's arguing that.

Edit: Another study

[–]neverendingdrums 0 points1 point ago

So is the Rock basically gonna be dead before he hits 50?

[–]kribby53The Crippler 2 points3 points ago

Hogan is still kickin'. The Rock will be fine.

[–]neverendingdrums 0 points1 point ago

Then why wasn't Eddie Guerrero fine?

[–]kribby53The Crippler 3 points4 points ago

Pretty sure his substance abuse was more than just good ol' 'roids.

Throughout his career, Guerrero encountered various substance abuse problems outside of wrestling, including alcoholism and an addiction to painkillers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Guerrero

[–]neverendingdrums 0 points1 point ago

Okay, risky question because I really don't want to take steroids but... I'm teetotal and otherwise drug free. If I started taking steroids, I'd be less at risk of going the way of Eddie, right? But wouldn't my chances of living long be damaged anyway? I remember reading somewhere that steroids damage the left ventricle of your heart.

[–]ihabtom 2 points3 points ago

Remember, the Rock has a team of physicians and personal trainers to help him. Most people do steroids in cycles, meaning they go on them for a bit and then go off, allowing their body to recover. He has taken reasonably good care of himself over the years, taking frequent breaks from movies and wrestling to cycle off of them and has never had any serious pain killer addictions.

[–]Default63 1 point2 points ago

no.

Y'know, because he is the GOAT?

HULK SMASH! HULK ANGRY! HULK...tired. Hulk lie down.

[–]joeygweedoh 1 point2 points ago

All the money he made off of us last year, he could have gotten a better wig. Come on Rock, commit!

[–]Ganonsfoot 1 point2 points ago

He should've gone as "the Rock Obama"

[–]Prax150 3 points4 points ago

He's already done that: http://i.imgur.com/L39gs.jpg

Decent paint job on the face. Gives me hope for makeup despite my beard this weekend. Then it all falls apart at the arms. I blame the gamma electricity.
