What Pushed You to Go Enhanced in the First Place?

This is something I don’t see talked about honestly enough, so I’ll throw it out there from my perspective.

For me, the decision to go enhanced wasn’t a sudden impulse or some overnight “I want to be huge” moment. It came after years of training consistently, eating right, and realizing I had pretty much squeezed out what I could naturally. Progress didn’t stop, but it slowed to a crawl. Strength gains were measured in tiny jumps, recovery took longer, and each cut or bulk felt like a bigger battle than the last.

Another big factor was curiosity, if I’m being real. Watching how my body responded to training, food, and recovery always interested me, and enhancement felt like the next variable to understand. Not to copy anyone else’s cycle or chase extremes, but to see how my own body would adapt when everything else was already locked in.

There was also a maturity piece to it. I waited until I felt disciplined enough to respect the process. I knew once I crossed that line, consistency would matter more, health markers would matter more, and mistakes would come with bigger consequences. That responsibility was part of the decision, not an afterthought.

Going enhanced didn’t change my work ethic. If anything, it raised the standard. Missed sessions, sloppy diet, and poor sleep stood out immediately. The difference is that when things are dialed in, the results reflect it faster and more clearly.

I don’t think enhancement is necessary for everyone, and I don’t think it should be rushed. But for those who choose it, the “why” matters more than the compounds themselves.

what was the real reason you decided to go enhanced, and do you feel like it lived up to what you expected when you made that choice?
 
For me it was age. I had been on TRT for 5 or 6 years. I always "intended" to go to the gym and take advantage of the extra Test, but never did. Then one of my best friends died at 46 of congestive heart failure. I was 59 at the time and vowed that wouldn't be me. So for a year I hit the gym 6 days a week, and ate right. I was on GLP1 through my Naturopath, same one that prescribed the TRT. After a year I lost 70 lbs, but was still at 20%bf and was afraid to lose more weight and muscle. So I upped the TRT a bit and got a prescription for Anavar. Wow, things changed. I went to just over 12% BF and still gained muscle. Some people think just taking an AAS will make you huge. It won't do jack if you don't Put In The Work and eat right. For me it is a boost to potential lost due to age. I am wise enough (and liquid enough) to take all the right supplements to counter sides, and to pay for FULL blood work every 30 days, not to mention a Dexa every 60 to 90 days. People can't believe I am 60 when they meet me.
