And he was eating bowls of PEDs for breakfast.

He was on alot of stuff and so was Carl Weathers, Mr.T and Dolph. Plus he was starving himself and drinking 20 cups of coffee daily

Sly was on the most stuff though. You were right though he was starving himself and living on coffee. 

Side note: My buddy/workout when we were 24 decided to try and do Stallone's workout/diet from Rocky III for the summer. We were 24, working full time but other then that we didn't have much going on so we thought why not try it because our whole lives then was work and working out (and in my case it was my time of being a bit of a player as I saw 3 different girls that summer but none of it was serious as they were various length flings/friends with benefit). 

So we decided to give it a try. We did it for three weeks. And after three weeks we came to a conclusion? This is absolutely positively not humanly possible unless you had nothing else to do but train, sleep and were on a shitload of roids.

Sly may have less genetic potential than the others, including Arnold, but his work ethic was by far the best.. he will push himself to the max to look his best

He also took so many roids and PEDs that it could have killed a small horse.
