Sylvester Stallone on Steroids

Sylvester Stallone is a famous actor who is well known for the Rambo as well as Rocky installments. Sylvester Stallone has always been athletic but in his Rambo and Rocky films he had to get in great shape to portray a boxer as well as a war hero.

Sylvester Stallone admitted that when making Rambo III in 1987 he took amino acids. Stallone said in his 1991 magazine interview with Longevity Magazine, “In 1987, when I was making Rambo III, I used to take an amino acid that’s nearly as strong as steroids. It’s about 15 times more powerful than the typical amino acid, but give none of the raw rage – the anger – that comes with steroids. All steroids do is make you a cumbersome, apelike goon.” Cited from: http://sylvesterstallone.com/health-fitness/three/

Stallone was caught smuggling 48 vials of HGH at an Australian airport in 2007. He was officially charged with illegally importing performance-enhancing drugs known as Jintropin Sydney Australia. The vital ingredient in this is somatropin; which is known to reduce body fat, boost muscle mass and improve sexual prowess. HGH is polypeptide hormone that is secreted by the pituitary gland. In the body HGH is known to cause growth in the kidneys, liver, bone and muscles.

Stallone has trained with Arnold Schwarzenegger as well as Franco Columbo. In the 70’s steroids were not illegal to take so most bodybuilders at the time consumed them. Arnold has admitted with no shame that he was once on steroids and though he does not promote them he does not feel guilty of taking them. Sylvester has admitted to taking performance-enhancing supplements but he has also said that he put long hours and a lot of labor into his training. He did not just take a pill that gave him superhero powers. He also talked about his diet regime, which is strict to any normal standards. He eats a lot of egg whites and half yolk for breakfast with oatmeal and fresh papaya. He eats red meat once a week and chicken and fish. He eats a lot of fruits and veg. and cut out shellfish due to water pollution.

His amazing physique is down to hard work and diet related control with the possible help of a performance-enhancing supplement
