Yeah I saw that too. That guy is a freak. Along with 90% of pro body builders. Sure, they are cut and stuff when they do their competitions but what you don't see is what they look like in their "off season." They live their life in two cycles: bulking and cutting.
In off season they bulk up. Meaning, they eat tons of food and get really fat, trying to pack on as much mass as possible. They really do get really fat because they're trying to put on as much muscle as possible and they aren't worried about their fat intake much.
When they start training for a competition, they start to "cut" the fat off while preserving the muscle they gained during off season, only taking in enough calories to keep the muscle they gained on while burning off all that fat. It's actually VERY rough on the body, the life they lead. Some will gain and lose up to 75 lbs of fat per year. That really takes it's toll, making many of them look years older in the face than they actually are.
Bodybuilding is a weird "sport" (if you can actually call it that) and most are juicers, whether they admit to it or not. They're just smart enough to cut themselves off the 'roids in time to have their systems clean by the time the competitions start testing them for it.
Not my cup of tea at all.
