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?
