Martyn Ford weighs in on if he believes The Rock uses steroids to achieve his physique.
Fitness entrepreneur Martyn Ford gave his opinion on whether or not Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is utilizing steroids. Ford discussed his opinion during a recent interview in which he tackled the subject of performance enhancing drugs.
Steroids can be a really touchy subject to tackle. So many individuals want the masses to believe that they were able to attain their physiques without the aid of outside forces. Many believe that if they admit that they’ve been utilizing performance enhancing drugs that it will put an asterisk next to their name. The idea that people would accuse them of being cheats or unnatural is too much for some to bear.
Others are completely unconcerned in regards to answering the steroid question. They won’t hesitate to admit that they’ve done it, but that it still required work for them to get to the level that they have reached. It can truly be an interesting conundrum to be sure.
Popular bodybuilding and fitness influencer and entrepreneur Martyn Ford gave some of his thoughts on the usage of steroids. Ford believes that most individuals, particularly those in the fitness industry, need to use PEDs in order to achieve the otherworldly look so many covet.
“I don’t care what people say. There’s two to three percent of genetically gifted people and then the rest will always be chasing that look. There’s no way you can look like a fitness influencer without drugs. I can look at 100 athletes and 99% I can tell you how many are and how many aren’t on drugs.”
The Rock Natty or Not?
During the interview, Martyn Ford was broached with another interesting query. When asked if he believed The Rock was utilizing steroids, Ford was reluctant to answer yes or no to the question. Ultimately Ford gave a neutral answer in regards to the question.
“I don’t know. You don’t need to answer the question. He’s one of the most famous actors in Hollywood. I love him to pieces. I think he’s a great guy. I think he’s a brilliant guy and he trains ridiculously hard and he’s worked every second for his physique. I mean, if he’s natural, he’s fuc**ng gifted. But I wouldn’t say anything about him by doing it or not doing it.”
Sure, any would say this was playing it safe. In reality, Martyn Ford isn’t privy to such information. Unless The Rock told Ford himself or was able to attain some kind of blood test, there’s really no way for him or anyone else to know.
