I get why many people look into steroids, but honestly the long-term effects can be pretty risky, especially for newbies. When I was pushing myself too hard in training, I learned that balance matters more than shortcuts. Around the same time, I enrolled in an animal communication diploma program, and it reminded me that just like with animals, building strength takes patience, awareness, and consistency. Quick fixes may seem tempting, but real progress comes with discipline and listening closely—to your body or to the signals animals give us.
