The Rock is famous all over the world for his acting career, his run with WWE, and his talent. He also is famous for his workouts and maintaining his physique. The Rock credits this to his fitness regime, discipline, and a well-planned diet. UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan isn’t so sure.
Recently, Rogan accused The Rock of using steroids to maintain his physique. Rogan believes there’s “not a chance” that The Great One is “clean.” Of all people, Kevin Nash has actually come to The Rock’s defense.
Speaking on his Kliq This podcast, Nash spoke about his own history with performance enhancers. He also detailed the various types of steroids. Regarding Rogan’s specific claims again The Rock, Nash had the following to say:
“Rogan’s latest thing is that he’s came out after Dwayne [Johnson], saying that … The Rock is saying that he doesn’t use PEDs and Rogan is telling everyone that it’s bullsh*t and he is on PEDs. I just wanna make this point, and this is my point, and it’s my opinion: performance-enhancing drugs are just that.
“They enhance your performance. Testosterone replacement therapy brings you back the hormonal levels that you [had] in your mid 30’s. I am on testosterone replacement therapy. If you take my blood, my testosterone level will probably be dependent on how far from my injection, between 780 and 1000. Somewhere in between there. The sweet spot is about 850 for me. I also have my free Testosterone, which will probably be around 18. I have to take anti-estrogen because if not, my estrogen will go through the roof.
“I weigh the same every f*cking day, I’m in no way stronger, no way faster, nothing to do with performance except my blood lipid panel is amazing for my age, especially for my genetic pre-disposition. My HDL, which is your good cholesterol, last time was 42. That’s nothing to brag about, but it’s above 40. My LDL, which is your bad cholesterol, is 55. Total cholesterol was less than 100. Triglycerides was less than 66. C-reactive protein, which is the inflammation that’s throughout your body and into your heart and veins, was like 0.7. I’m very beyond low risk, but all of those things only happened after I started to do testosterone replacement.
“Yes, I am leaner than I was, but I’m nowhere like I was when I was taking steroids, when I was trying to f*cking look like Master Blaster Steel.”
