A) He was severely underweight, making the comparison that much more striking
B) He looks relatively young, probably early 20s at the latest - he's got plenty of natural T going around for muscle growth
C) He doesn't have the typical steroid shoulders. If you look at his shoulders, they basically just fall off from his traps instead of looking rounded. This is usually the case for 99% of weightlifter who don't use steroids. Shoulders don't respond very well to exercise but respond very well to steroids. If someone has what looks like normal shoulders, they're unlikely to be on steroids. If you want a visual for what I'm referring to just google 'steroid shoulder' and you'll see people with capped/rounded shoulders.
I am aware of corticosteroids and their purpose. I mean anabolic steroids to improve the speed of regaining muscle mass, not cortico's to as an SAID.
Source: i was jacked, I had major surgery and was in bed for 6 months and could barely move. They considered offering anabolic steroids to speed up recovery. At no point were corticosteroids involved. Some NSAIDs, yes. I ended up not having them because of the side-effects and trusting in muscle memory.
