A really thin guy that has next to no body fat will have a much tougher time ever getting to that size. Years of weight training, protein supplements etc. Diet is important here too, but mostly just consuming more protein & calories, rather than the first guy trying to get cut.

It's not all that mysterious or difficult. Just go to a personal trainer and have him set you up with a workout schedule and stick with it. That's pretty much all there is to it. If you get to a certain point and absolutely can't gain any more weight you can skip the roids and use Creatine, which will pack on pounds and let you break thru to the next level pretty quickly.
This kind of body isn't a roid body, he's lean and cut, not massive and bulky. Roids are for guys who want to get HUGE - unnaturally huge. I mean you can use them to get this kind of body but you definitely don't have to. The problem with lifting weights is that A. it's mind-numbingly dull and B. it's not real strength. I've rolled with guys who are roughly my weight but all muscled out and cut up and they're no stronger on the mat. There's a difference between muscle you get grappling and muscle you get on a weight bench. Sculpted muscle can help a little but the guys who have real crazy strength usually have a pot belly, big meaty shoulders and a wide back. Big pecs aren't very useful except to get bitches.
