Were the romans/greece on steroids too? Did they have advanced gym equipment? No! They had hard work and desire. They exercised with freakin rocks and primitive stuff and as far as steroids, they didnt even have vitamins, they just ate what was around. So I think all of this "If u have big muscles/are build, you are on steroids" idea is wrong and ruined by some losers who get big on roids (Masters) and then EVERYONE who is build is blamed.
Sorry dude but this is all kinda bogus.

Statues of greek's and roman's mostly weren't even made in the time they are depicting, so using them as an example is dumb as they are an artists impression.

Secondly, these depictions were more toned that "ripped". They (as you say) had a more athletic build. A build that you can get from working out and eating correctly - plenty of protein, which was available in those times.

NO ONE can get a body like Batista's just by working out and having a high protein diet.

Take a picture of him to a Personal Trainer at a gym and say you wanna look like that. Ask them if they reckon he's roided. I bet I can guess their answer.

Oh, and the word you're looking for is 'built'.
