Mostly chemical, yes. A huge freak'n house, yes. Can he do 1000lbs +, yes. The thing you may have missed is that when that vid was taken Ronnie was only 5 weeks out form the Mr. Olympia. Of course his strength will be off. That's because he is triming every bit of fat he can. To do that he has to sacrifice muscle as well.
Any way one looks at it that is an ass load of weight for a human. I can't even imagine how easily my arms would be ripped off, even when i was working out.....biggest dead lift sets were in the low 400's. Maybe if i did a few cycles i could add another 150-200lbs, but double that? That's just asking Murphy to smack you upside the head with his law book.
