Mickey Rourke Explains How to Get the Body of an '80s Wrestler {Asylum}

Dec 2nd 2009 2:24AM I think there's an argument either way. Personally I think the steroids would help him bulk and be easier on his body than the diet and training regimen that he was on. It was probably a little of both, IMO. It would be really tough to get that muscle mass at age 52, even in 7 months. As the previous poster mentioned, he was busted for them before, and the director had to be aware of that and probably thought he would be desperate enough to do this and have his great dramatic comeback, since his career was in the crapper. Just like the wrestler, who risked his life for the accolades of the adoring fans.
