Joe Rogan calls bodybuilding “a science project” with the use of steroids to build super-human size.
It is not an easy task to build a physique that can win on the bodybuilding stage. Along with the right training and diet plan, Joe Rogan highlights another necessity for athletes. Of course, we are talking about steroids.
The use of steroids has become important for a bodybuilder to add that necessary size needed across each division today, especially in Men’s Open. Athletes, current and former, have begun discussing their use of PEDs. It is no surprise that different substances are present in bodybuilding when looking at the massive physiques of athletes and Rogan believes that it would be “impossible” without it.
Rogan discussed this topic on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. He has discussed steroids in the past when it comes to certain celebrities. Let’s not forget that Rogan was someone who would always claim that Liver King was not natural before he came out and admitted it. This time, he spoke on bodybuilders using steroids while also reiterating that a person can get big without them.
Joe Rogan: “Bodybuilding Is Impossible Without Steroids”
Simply using steroids will not get you to where you want to be. Of course, it has to be paired with the right training and nutrition to see the insane results. While it may not be the answer for everyone, Joe Rogan spoke on how it is a necessity in bodybuilding.
“For athletes, they have a significant advantage and they allow you to recover much quicker. There’s certain sports, if you call bodybuilding a sport, right? It’s impossible without steroids. You cannot get to that size, you don’t get to Ronnie Coleman’s size, Dorian Yates’ size, you don’t get there without steroids.”

For others, it is possible to see massive gains without the use of steroids and there are other factors at play here. But for bodybuilders, Rogan believes that steroids are the final product.
“You can get very big without taking steroids. There’s a lot of people that are massive without taking steroids. There’s a lot of people that have fantastic genetics, a lot of people that have thick, heavy builds. It’s natural.
There’s many, many people like that but to get to the size of a bodybuilder, it’s superhuman. It’s not possible without steroids. That is a science project.”
Rogan continued to discuss the overall look of bodybuilders and what they gain from steroids:
“You look at these people that have traps that start at the top of their ears and bowling ball shoulders. That’s not possible. I’ve met many people that are really fit and look f*cking huge and they don’t do steroids.”
The presence of steroids in bodybuilding remains strong with size being at a premium on stage in today’s era. Joe Rogan continues to speak on the advantages and disadvantages that they bring to bodybuilders and weightlifters everywhere.
