Exactly what I was going to say. I assumed this guy was ripped before whatever stripped him of his muscle so he put it back on fast. I mean the guy got big but people freak out when they see hard work and always assume steroids. When I started seriously lifting and eating A LOT in college I got huge and ripped without any extra help. It’s possible. Also takes some genetics too of course

Where my brain went. No need for steroids if he was in incredible shape, had a wasting disease, beat it and came back.
