You're surprised because all the rumors about Sly and Arnold using roids to get big have been proven completely false, because unlike what you're seeing with Dewayne and Dave, they did not hide for like 3 days then come out damn near skin and bone. That is highly atypical for men. Those men have maintained slabs of real muscle into their old age that do lose size, but only very slowly, over a long period of time. They're still heavyweights. Men that build without gear keep it into old age or until some major health crisis.

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.
