Indeed it can and does happen in some circumstances. Usually this is
associated with either someone new to training, or to someone coming back
after a long layoff. People who are past the beginner stage seldom
accomplish both at once. As for people on steroids, well... I'd be
surprised to learn any of them were following a paleo diet. It seems
rather silly to follow a health-optimizing diet if you're intentionally
polluting your body with known dangerous substances.
