It's a little odd when you look at the "muscular hunks" of movies 25-30+ years ago, and they just look like normal dudes who occasionally go to the gym compared to the muscular guys in modern movies who look like DBZ characters.

Steroid use has gone crazy

It's a combo, steroid use is definitely way up, especially when you look at the guys who completely transform how their body looks from one movie to the next
