Reevaluating Natural Limits
Many individuals mistakenly believe they have reached their natural limits in fitness, which prompts them to consider steroids as the next step. However, most people have not thoroughly optimized key factors like training, diet, and, particularly, sleep hygiene, which can substantially impact their progress. It is suggested that very few people, possibly close to zero, have truly hit their ceiling, and many are often impatient, leading them to prematurely seek enhancement. The context of competition can create pressure to use steroids, particularly for younger athletes, who may tolerate such substances better than older individuals.
