Congrats on making the decision to start this journey to a fit lifestyle! This 12-week program will guide you to becoming fit while teaching you all the tools you’ll need to maintain that fit and healthy lifestyle. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have along the way!
Phase 1 is the muscle endurance phase so you’ll need to do 3 sets of 12 repetitions with 1 minute rest between sets. Remember not to push yourself beyond your abilities – it could cause injury or burnout due to sore muscles. You’ll want to lift 60% of your maximum ability.

Congratulations on completing phase 1 of 3 in the 12-Week Beginners Guide to Building Muscle Series. Up next is Phase 2 where we take it to The Next Level.

Phase 2 - Level Up
Anabolic steroids work very differently from other drugs of abuse, and they do not have the same acute effects on the brain. The most important difference is that steroids do not trigger rapid increases in the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is responsible for the rewarding "high" that drives the abuse of other substances.
ReplyDeleteHowever, long-term steroid use can affect some of the same brain pathways and chemicals—including dopamine, serotonin, and opioid systems—that are affected by other drugs, and thereby may have a significant impact on mood and behavior.
Abuse of anabolic steroids may lead to aggression and other psychiatric problems, for example. Although many users report feeling good about themselves while on steroids, extreme mood swings can also occur, including manic-like symptoms and anger ("roid rage") that may lead to violence. Researchers have also observed that users may suffer from paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired judgment stemming from feelings of invincibility.
Hello, I am wondering where the Phase 2 post is?
