Photoshop anyone. Honestly, I know steroids are powerful and stuff, but I can't imagine how that could be possible. He looks like he's about to snap right in half at his waist.
Also, what's he packing a grapefruit and some apricots. I'm pretty sure after that much steroids he could wear a woman's bikini.

If you search google with that filename, you'll find that picture is always regarded as a photoshop...

As you are good at muscle building consider track cycling. Kilo sprints for one.

Back to the OP:
If you're strong enough to open up a new jar of jam/mayonaisse/pasta sauce/etc. without having to ask your wife or girlfriend for help, you are no longer a roadie.

Ovoleg came with us today on a short climbing ride and he actually did pretty well. Not the fastest climber there, but well in front of my group. Of course, I'm old and fat.

Yes, he is a very strong rider... when he actually sticks around for the whole ride.
Quite the gentleman too, I might add, having called my cell out of concern when I had dropped off pace and took a wrong turn.
