A friend of mine first picked up weights at around 17,18 and he exploded and looked like a mini hulk. But even though he works out just as hard he's been the same size, give or take, for about 5 years now. It happens that way for a lot of ppl. When they first hit the gym they tend to see massive changes in body composition, the steroids usually come after they plateau from hitting the genetic wall. P.S. here's a good article about that

There is truth in what this guy says. Actors don't do roids (as far as I know, could very well be wrong!) for a number of reasons, they can cause pimples, skull growth, hair loss and a number of other things, which means actors simply will not use them. Don't forget that these guys have professional trainers, are dosed up to the eyeballs on supplements, such as protein, creatine, l-glutamine, nitric-oxide (pre-workout), you name it. They also have most meals prepared and perfectly monitored diets, and a team of people catering to their every fitness need. Also, some 'platues', like the one your friend had, can be fixed through bulking, changing up your workouts, etc. Edit: Its worth noting that Ryan Reynolds already had a decent body before Blade Trinity, if you watch Van Wilder you'll see. He wasn't HUGE in Blade Trinity (though he was definitely big, and looked amazing IMO), but very ripped, and alot of the shots where you see him had lighting specifically set up to show it off. Edit 2: Cool article btw man, thanks for posting
