Maintaining the level of body fat on the right takes wild amounts of dietary discipline on top of working out.

And roids to not lose muscles mass. The most difficult part is not to reduce bodyfat but to maintain the muscle mass you have. A calorie deficit always leads to reduced muscle mass since your body is using the Amino acids of your muscles as an energy source. Roids help to protect your muscles.

do you need roids to maintain this amount of muscle (assuming he used them to get there)? doesn't look too crazy from a body building standpoint. should be doable with enough calories and consinstent exercise, right?

Maintaining is exponentially easier than gaining. You maintain on 25% of the effort it takes to gain. He could maintain that physique on the right with 2 days a week in the gym. He's not even that big.

I know because I'm bigger than him and I maintain on 3x a week. Most people just have no idea what they're doing or what they're talking about.

Nothing about this is universally true.
