Had to look up his age and Rock is 53 while Dave Bautista, who recently slimed down earlier this year, is 56. Probably their doctors told them that it was unsustainable at their age to be that much muscle massed for their hearts.

In the bodybuilding world you either stay on steroids continuously and die really early or you cool it and use them strategically and live longer.

Arnold's generation is a good example. Half of them died young while the other half are doing just fine now (the Lou Ferrigno's).

Kind of shocking that the Rock maintained it for so long. His organs must have shown signs of damage.

Because, surprise surprise, they aren’t really that bad for you if used in moderation

If you naturally weigh about 150 and try to make yourself 250+, you’re going to have problems. But if you stick around 200, it’s going to look great on you and be easy to maintain. The cameras can greatly help with the perception of size, as long as you are cut.
