It’s not that tough to see that Sylvester Stallone – better known as the man who brought the characters Rambo and Rocky Balboa to life – has managed to look buff and keep in shape for his whole career in showbiz.
However, with Sly pushing 70 next year, there are a lot of bodybuilders and fitness buffs that are speculating that the Expendables star is using anabolic steroids and Human Growth Hormone (HGH) to maintain his physique. Apart from being quite tricky for the film icon to keep his body fat levels minimal, they are also pointing out that he shouldn’t be able to retain as much muscle mass due to his age.
So why don’t we get to the bottom of this rumor in a short while and find out once and for all if Sylvester Stallone does use them?
At its simplest anabolic steroids are basically synthetic versions of the male hormone, testosterone. Besides playing a key role in overall sexual function, it can also stimulate muscle growth and development as well as speeding up healing and rejuvenation of tissues.
On the other hand, Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is capable of stimulating the liver to start churning out insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), which helps in muscle growth as well as improving the strength of bones and connective tissues.
And to answer once and for all if Sly really did use HGH and anabolic steroids, here’s what we’ve managed to dig up during our extensive research…
Yes, Sylvester Stallone used anabolic steroids and HGH to keep his body as buff and sleek as it is now. Now while Sly didn’t get his hands on them in the early 1970’s when he began his showbiz career, his physique dramatically changed during the time he was prepping up for his most iconic roles as John Rambo and Rocky a few years later.
From there, using HGH and anabolic steroids became a significant factor in Sly’s bodybuilding regimen. He was even busted in 2007 for carrying more than 40 vials of a Chinese HGH called Jintropin in Australia. He was found guilty for the illegal possession of the substance because although he had a prescription for Jintropin, the HGH wasn’t officially permitted in the United States.
The Beverly Hills doctor Robert Huizenga is the one overseeing Stallone’s anabolic steroid and HGH use these days.
When asked why he is still very much active in using these substances, the Rocky and Rambo actor emphasizes that they help “improve the activity of the pituitary gland” and “prevent bones from narrowing.” Sylvester even adds that they also give his body a much needed boost that helps him look and feel young.

who cares?? respect the man! https://www.instagram.com/p/BBjxB4UxwvE/?taken-by=kingpriyom
Exactly, fair play to the guy, I severely doubt most guys his age or even 15 years his junior would be capable of maintaining a physique anywhere near his with all the gear they could lay their hands on. Steroids aren’t magic, you don’t just take them and wake up huge, he puts an insane amount of effort into training and diet to get that big and ripped over a period of years, not weeks or months.
People who rip into others who choose to use steroids to assist their physiques haven’t got a bloody clue how much effort and dedication is involved and need to get to the gym themselves to see exactly how much work these guys put into getting a physique that good at any age, let alone 70.
with the money he has he doesn’t have to work anymore . So he has all the time he needs to workout either with or without stimulants .
I respect what you are saying but the training with steroids is 100 times easier then natural. You see results within days and your appetite goes through the roof. You push incredible weight and you get the strength that you thought you never had in your wildest dreams. You have so much energy it would be a crime if you didn’t train. I can go on and go on and on but you know all this. This is coming from someone that used to only take 1ml of prima test per week which is nothing but there are guys taking as much as 10-15 ml of 3-4 different kinds of test plus hgh, anavar, whinstrol, and many other things together and they Post this pictured of them selfs saying GAINS!
Which I think is a lot of shit!! I have seen the same guys have liver or kidney issue and they can not train at all and e eventually lose everything. I and 42 and I have been off it
for 8 years which was a very hard effort even considering that I took a minute amount of 1ml but the difference of natural to juice is HUGE!
Stallone is over 70 and yes I definitely agree that he should be taking something and so will I when I get to his age but these young guys using juice are nothing but a fake ars cheating pretenders and nothing else.
Stallone will always be one of the greatest and I have nothing but respect.
