Seems today's mentality is one needs to "take something" first and not do any proper physical preparations nor follow a thorough recovery process.

And anabolic steroids, I almost forgot them. They decrease recovery time. I think we're all stuck with adequate rest, nutrition, warm up and progressive loading. The other stuff just makes for expensive pee (one way or the other).
