Understanding Natural Limits

Many people believe they have reached their natural limit in fitness, prompting them to consider anabolic steroids as the next step. However, the actual percentage of individuals who have genuinely maximized their potential is extremely low, potentially in the single digits. Most people have not fully optimized their training, diet, or especially their sleep, which can significantly impact their performance and hormonal balance. This misunderstanding often leads to premature decisions about using steroids, as many fail to recognize that consistent improvements can still be made without enhancement.
