How do people discover the limit of their natural abilities?
This is an inquiry about deciding to use any kind of anabolic steroid. It is a question that is seldom brought up, but it should be far more often. First of all, it needs to be stated that I think you should push your body to the highest possible point naturally before even considering taking any anabolic steroid. Please don't think that makes me not approve of anabolic steroids. It's just that the human body is a greater machine than any anabolic steroid, so people should exhaust their given resources before executing the decision to take any kind of anabolic steroid.
It's impossible to tell you exactly when you have achieved the highest point or the plateau of your natural bodybuilding abilities. I also can't say when you would desire to think about taking an anabolic steroid, but what I can say is the things you should check off the list before making the decision.
You first need to be totally honest and ask some important questions:
1) Do you possess the capability and build to win a local competition without the help of a single anabolic steroid? If you don't, then you will not improve too much by using an anabolic steroid, at most you'll be a larger version of a body that still has a lot of imperfections.
2) Have you exhausted all that's within your abilities to get the most out of your natural potential prior to thinking about using steroids? In other words, have you gone by a routine diet without flaw, and supplemented your dieting where you could to increase gains before introducing the element of an anabolic steroid?
3) Have you trained to your full potential and found techniques that will assist you in reaching your highest potential before using an anabolic steroid?
4) Have you given your body enough time to recover as much as is needed in order to grow, and slept enough to let that growth take place without using anabolic steroids?
If the answer was yes to all the previous questions, and if you're going through a plateau that you just can't get over, then your potential has probably been achieved and it might be beneficial for you to look into taking an anabolic steroid. But before this decision is made, it's good to consider that over the years of training, it is possible to continue natural gains, but they might take a while and therefore be very hard to notice in the short term. So if you have exhausted all of your natural resources, you might be ready to try an anabolic steroid. Remember to begin really slowly, this way you get the best results from the least amount used. If you increase the amount used over time, then you'll have somewhere to go and more gains to get.
