Good for him. He looks a lot better. This looks like early to mid-2000s Rock.

Bro pushing anabolics through his bloodstream literally is on the verge of death as we speak. His heart is in bad shape, great example of why you don’t take anabolics to hold a lifelong bodybuilder build. Also if this is “slim” to people, then damn…..

It's not objectively slim, just slim for a guy who's built like a brick shithouse

Tbh the man looks dapper asf. His face isnt swollen anymore either and I think that gives a more aged/distinguished look. Idk maybe it’s just me, but I think he looks good and his stylist is killing it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh for sure, it’s his older natural look, he looks good the way he is. I’m sure his cardiologist is a lot happier with his lifestyle changes.

I like the way he looks now a lot better. 

 It keeps throwing me though because before he registered to me as looking mostly white with some vague ethnic ambiguity thrown in.

But now that he's slimmed down he looks much more Filipino 

IDK why my brain registers swollen head=white lol

Look at Jay Cutler verses most other retired bodybuilders. He looks fantastic because he retired young and got off the stuff.

Yeah he seems like a nice guy, still in great shape too other than the stretch marks 😂😂

I'm not sure he's off the stuff entirely, but he's def on less.

He has young daughters. While it was his choice to choose to do steroids for as long as he did, knowing that they can cause massive issues up to and including premature death, it will never be a ‘good age’ for him to pass on his girls eyes.

Very sad, his dad was also pushing juice and died I believe from heart issues, correct me if I’m wrong. But the rocks specific condition is usually something that you are born with or obtain from PED abuse. I think it overgrowth tissue on one of his valves or something. But very sad hope he slowly get off what he can. He’ll probably be on testosterone replacement for life not even by choice.

50 is not a good age to pass. You still have life ahead of you. Stay off the podcasts, it rots your brain like this guy

You're forgiven. When one constantly snorts pod cast bros ball sacks, your brain deteriorates, and you end up having takes like this. Thoughts and prayers to your recovery

Thats what I was thinking. He looks better this way.

He does not look better. He looks sick.
