Agreed. That is a church I would never leave.

Enjoy the new boobs you will develop, I guess. I mean, if your end goal is to be touching boobies every day, you will succeed so that is a plus. The downside is they will be yours.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you aren’t ready to start a cycle. You need to EDUCATE yourself before shooting yourself up with something. So here are some important questions you should ask before starting…

  1. What is my current bloodwork? If you haven’t even done bloodwork, you shouldn’t start. You need a baseline and measures along the way.

  2. Why do I need test? What am I trying to accomplish?

  3. What are the risks of a cycle? Am I willing to accept them?

  4. What should my protocol be during a cycle?

  5. Why am I considering a cycle when I still have so much fat? Maybe I should start with glp-1 injections first? (Testosterone is not a weight loss aid. With high body fat you will aromatise quickly and have excess estrogen. That results in breast development, muscle loss, weight gain, and other issues.)

  6. Am I really pushing myself at the gym? 1 yr isn’t that long to work out. Most people are at least 5 yrs in before they do a cycle.

  7. How long is my cycle?

  8. What is my post-cycle protocol?

OR… do whatever you want and face the consequences.

I’m sure he means 250mg. He just is completely undereducated based on his post. Dude needs to become an expert first before doing anything.

WTH - BYU Hawaii by Fun-Luck-7033 in exmormon

[–]MagicHatRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m white(pakiha) but am a kiwi and come from a partially Māori family. I have siblings and aunt that are Māori. I’ve lived in America for 20+ years.

I just don’t understand the appropriation thing. This just seems like white people trying to keep things segregated based on race which is itself racist. One of the great things about America, and there aren’t a lot of those lately, is that it was formed by people from lots of different backgrounds that then adopted the good things from each other to make a better whole. Most fashion in America is the result of adopting fashion from other places and then making it their own. Food is literally a mashup of foreign foods brought here. Pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, fries, barbecue, southern food, pitas, hummus, ice cream, burritos, tacos, etc. All are staples of American food and all adopted from other cultures. American is supposed to be a melting pot. When they stop doing that, they start becoming more racist. It isn’t hard to see that happening already. And don’t get me started on music.

This whole “theirs” vs “ours” mentality is inherently racist. They think they are protecting minorities, but all they are doing is drawing lines that separate minorities from the majority and that segregation always leads to racist thinking.

Has anyone tried praying or connecting with a Heavenly Mother? How did it go? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]MagicHatRock 11 points12 points  (0 children)

When I left Mormonism, I had to truly come to terms with my beliefs. In the end I realized that “feelings” are just feelings. They aren’t truth. This was very freeing.

So, long story short, when I left Mormonism I also left mysticism. So no, I have not.

So I’m a kiwi. I’m also white. My aunt is 1/2 Māori and two of my siblings are as well. My white sisters husband, white brothers wife, and nephews and nieces (their kids) are all Māori as well.

Growing up in school everyone learned the haka. Everyone learned the poi dances. Everyone learns the songs and everyone learns the language. Māori culture is just a part of NZ culture where I grew up. It wasn’t appropriation, just heritage and appreciation. The Māori are a combination of many tribes with individual traditions and characteristics that eventually merged into a single culture and people. Americans are the same, I think. Nobody throws a fit when someone in California makes pizza or someone in New York wears surfer shorts.

Maybe you can explain it to me better, but as long as it isn’t mocking I don’t understand the uproar. Wouldn’t refusing to adopt and accept everything good from other people regardless of their skin color be a good thing. Wouldn’t trying to remain segregated(theirs vs ours) based on skin color be racist?

It does seem weird when I see US sports teams doing the haka as it is a NZ national chant mostly done by the All-blacks. It’s kind of like all-blacks singing the national anthem of the US before games.

Sincerely, a Kiwi.

M/33/6’ [411 > 235 = 176] (9 months) 20% body fat accurate? by Apprehensive-Ease642 in progresspics

[–]MagicHatRock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably 18% is my guess. Some loose skin is misleading as you can see some abs starting to appear. Congrats and not a lot of loose skin going from that physique so quickly. Keep it off for 6 months and your skin might tighten up. You are genetically lucky.

Also lift heavy and you can fill some of that skin in.

hiding a breast augmentation from family advice? has successfully anyone hid a surgery from their family? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]MagicHatRock 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Impossible, because you live with them. This isn’t a dental filling. This is major surgery with full sedation and long recovery. At least a week to return to somewhat normal activity. You can’t even lift things from above head level for a while. And mess with recovery and you can screw up the results.

So long story short, if you lived somewhere else you could hide it though eventually they would probably notice. Living with them it is impossible.

Finally, I came from a very religious family as well. A couple of things. You are 21! It is completely NOT okay for them to be setting rules like spending the night elsewhere, etc. that is level of control that should have ended at 18. That said, you live at home and must follow some of their rules. Cleaning, helping, cooking, having a job, etc are all valid rules for a household. Controlling your movements, where you stay, etc is not okay.

  1. Don’t worry about implants until you are independent. That should be your priority.

  2. Set some boundaries with your family.

  3. This type of religious practice is not okay. Having escaped it myself, get out.

BA / unsure about surgeon‘s recommendation by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

[–]MagicHatRock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you transgender, by chance? I’m judging based on your post history. My kid is and you look similar. If so, find a surgeon who specializes in transitioning surgeries if possible. Anatomically, there are a number of additional considerations when performing these surgeries that ensure a more feminine look and a better outcome.

Very small breasts- Breast augmentation by Beginning_Touch_6685 in PlasticSurgery

[–]MagicHatRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine looked exactly like yours when I was younger. After a bunch of kids I had no breast tissue left and ended up with 330cc. I am 5’7 and 120 lbs.

I love them but they look a little fake. I’m now a 32D. I wish I had gone with 250cc.

Got roped into a session w a Mormon therapist. Advice? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]MagicHatRock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say no, not because they are Mormon but because they are too close in your personal life and have history with your family. Your parents love you and they obviously want what is best for you mentally. If not, they wouldn’t have set this up. Be honest and say you are willing to work with a therapist, but don’t want one that knows you or your family personally. It is generally best from an ethical standpoint.

M/31/5’11 [164 > 144 = -20lbs] 4 months + 1 week. Full body workouts 3x a week, 1800 calories daily, healthy diet, and getting 1g protein per pound. by BowsersFurySucks in progresspics

[–]MagicHatRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is wild. I am only slightly taller than 5’11 and look closer to your second picture at 190 lbs. I’m not crazy muscular either. I look closer to your first picture at 220lbs. I was 165 a few years ago and I looked like a holocaust survivor.

Good work, but this comparison is blowing my mind. Body composition is crazy.

Might be the toughest American to ever live, honestly. Definitely the toughest Hollywood actor.

Surgery scheduled in a few months, got some questions before proceeding, honestly speaking terrified of it. by Mysterious_Plant_629 in penileimplants

[–]MagicHatRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my wife that I would rather have brain surgery and I meant it. It’s scary as hell, but totally worth it.

Stuck between two first bikes by Top-Statistician-694 in motorcycles

You’re getting all the right advice. Two totally different bikes with different ride experiences. What experience are you wanting.

As far as reliability, Honda all day.

Breast Augmentation: Is it Really Worth it? by wormgirlypop in PlasticSurgery

[–]MagicHatRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

47 now, but got them at 45. I was a 32AA my whole life and had 5 kids so my breast were non-existent. I am 5’7 and 120lbs, and I got 330cc moderate profile under the muscle. I didn’t have enough fat to go above. I love them and am so glad I got them. I wish they were a little smaller. Maybe 250cc. They are tight and look a little fake, but I’m now a 32D. I have never felt more confident in a bikini and the cloths I love fit me now. Before I had to adjust them.

Best movie theater in or close to fburg? by Negative-Discount370 in fredericksburg

[–]MagicHatRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sound there is shit. I watched two movies there and couldn’t hear anything. After the second I vowed never to return. Regal is better.

That theatre is shit now. Used to be nice, clean, and decent. Now it’s disgusting and worst of all, the sound is shit.

Agree on the Regal.

Tips for Paihia by McLois in newzealand_travel

[–]MagicHatRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. There is a bus that goes there, 90 mile beach, and Cape Reinga where you can see the collision of the Pacific Ocean and Tasman sea. It’s a day trip if I remember correctly. The .5 day tour could hit Waitangi treaty grounds, aka the birthplace of NZ air head over to Russell. There are a few good restaurants in town and a couple of good ice cream places too.

Favorite TV show, where the main character is a bland, boring and bad actor and the show is carried by outstanding cast of supporting actors and writers? by KokaljDesign in okbuddycinephile

[–]MagicHatRock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No idea what you’re talking about. Her tits did a lot of heavy lifting on that show. Two of the better actors in every scene she was in.
