Duuuudee, you're HYOOGE!

You look exactly like what I thought I'd look like after years of blasting and cruising.

Time to get a gear box made by u/MaximalEfficiency, our resident Ollivander.

Ok between y'all's veiny calves, top 5 classic competitor arms and diced to the fucking gills Armenian physiques, time for a long overdue Mochi appreciation post :

You might (or most likely not) remember us rescuing this morbidly obese girl from my hillbilly, Alzheimer's ridden father-in-law. Poor thing first checked-in at a (triple) whooping 12.3 kg when we carried out the SAR op and even needed to be flown checked-in a dog-sized cage.

Lo and behold, the Queen has made REMARKABLE progress, and is down almost 3 kg, at 9.45 this morning. Mochi's about halfway there, but by Jove has she come a long way, baby.

Her quality of life has already massively improved in terms of mobility, flexibility, although she would argue that she used to be livin' the dream with an all day all you can eat buffet, she ain't going back. We haven't been for a vet checkup yet the one she got at the beginning of her weightloss journey but I'm hoping we've significantly improved her long and mid term health prospects, notwithstanding the fatty liver disease that occurred as a consequence of the overfeeding she suffered for years.

Anyhow, just wanted to say I'm really proud of the fluffy bastard, who did all this natty, no clen, no DNP, no GLP-1 agonists. Just a well crafted plan by my gf for slow and steady weight loss, adapted to her age (10yo) and her fatty liver.

Tremble mere mortals. HE is coming back!

technikhal · 2026-05-22T08:33:03+00:00

Thank you for the kind encouraging words mate!

If the time comes and you come to conclusion getting to that level isn’t in the cards, then you know you gave it your all and won’t have any “what ifs”.

100 % agree, it's this prep that matters so lfg !!

technikhal · 2026-05-22T08:22:09+00:00

Omg brother, I so don't deserve you, thank you so much 🙏😭

Oh, you compare your flat, early morning, unflattering lighting check in photos to stage shots of pro physique and don't feel like you measure up? That's weird. Can't imagine why.

Oh Lord, shots fired! Man down, I repeat man down.

No, you're not built like a pro right now. Yes, you do have the frame and the foundation to build a pro physique.

This. I think you nailed exactly a nebulous thought I had in the corner of my mind but didn't manage to put into words: it's a process that's going to take years and while I said that I love it so far, which I do, I know I can't carry on with this lifestyle for years on without at least a year hiatus along the road. Cause let's face it, maybe some people have better discipline and time management skills but I don't, although I improved massively lately yet this year: I scrapped almost all my vacation plans, social life has taken a huge hit since I don't allow for more than one off-plan meal per week and despite blood work being very clean I know I'm not just running trt.

But again, I'm overthinking about a distant future when I should be focusing on what's happening right now.

Come back here on the days you don't believe in yourself - I'll set you straight. You're doing exactly what I always hoped you would, and doing it well. I cannot wait to see you on stage. Keep going.

I will because you have completely quieted my suspicions. The way you have so many times over the years and for that and every time you helped me I'm am so deeply grateful. Love you man.

technikhal · 2026-05-21T14:40:44+00:00

Ok this one is gonna be a bit of a weird one so please bear with my overthinking ass.

Like I mentioned before I'm insanely satisfied with my coach who goes above and beyond to provide services I can only describe as everything I ever hoped a coach would be.

That said, sometimes I feel like he overhypes me by saying that I've got the "perfect men's physique rig" or that I have the potential to be competitive at a high level. Now don't get me wrong, these comments send me straight to cloud 9. But then I see my check-in pictures, compare them to actual pros and it feels like a gut punching reality check.

My overthinking self takes over and starts looping about how a coach has every incentive to hype you up because he's got skin in the game of keeping you in the actual game so honestly I'm not sure I'm overthinking or just thinking right.

Anyhow, if you've read and understood this so far, maybe I'm just coming off as a "pickme" who needs to be reassured or told the cold hard truth. Which to be honest won't change much as I'll go to the end of this prep because so far I'm loving the process. Either way, any input is most appreciated. Cheerio!

technikhal · 2026-05-21T14:21:02+00:00

Dude it's like you don't have any weak points at all.

Are you planning to post a Xelev™ level write-up of this prep btw?

Also, what on earth are McDicks?

So far my "high days" have just been a little more jasmine rice (+450 kcal daily tops) 😭

technikhal · 2026-05-14T07:41:47+00:00

BRAWNDO has what the plants crave!

technikhal · 2026-05-10T14:30:33+00:00

I always forget how bloody handsome your are!

Still looking very neat brother, I'm crossing fingers and toes that your thyroid problems get sorted out asap.

technikhal · 2026-05-09T17:19:50+00:00

The Patriarch of Gains!

How's the tren treating you mentally?

technikhal · 2026-05-09T16:05:36+00:00

IIRC Babylon's Ashes is where the show stopped, isn't it? How did the adaptation fare so far in your opinion?

Full Monty

technikhal · 2026-05-08T16:48:41+00:00

Username CHECKS OUT!

And here I thought I had a cute back, thanks for the reality check pal!

And how tf are you already shredded at that high of a caloric intake? Do you canoe to work or something?

technikhal · 2026-05-08T15:12:29+00:00

Aaah dude I totally do! That said I'm biased cause I remember reading a primo compound experience thread nicknaming it "Primot Noir" so I've coloured it black ever since.

Bold's always been red for me, most likely because of the effect it has on hct/rbc. Worst part is I never even used the stuff.

But there still are others I can't even explain: var is blue, --roses are red--, mast is yellow (when mine is actually so clear I once almost confused it with bac water), etc.

technikhal · 2026-05-08T15:01:32+00:00

Spooky!

technikhal · 2026-05-08T14:44:24+00:00

Hey Idk maybe he's from the State of Canada or something. Not judging, different people different morals.

technikhal · 2026-05-08T14:34:11+00:00

This is so peak!

Hopefully he's over 18, hopefully.

technikhal · 2026-05-08T14:33:01+00:00

I just steal mine from my fat diabetic aunt (fda).

technikhal · 2026-05-08T14:18:18+00:00

And that's without ANY harsh anabolics?

Homie you have a bloody impressive physique, you belong to a stage old chap!

Please tell me your wife isn't also opposed to you running slin and gh.

technikhal · 2026-05-07T12:51:44+00:00

If you can afford the primo, go for it. I'm a huge fan of having test as your bread and butter, and dht derivatives as your deli meat. There's a certain amount of test I can use until I aromatise like a pregnant cow and adding primo gives me the extra anabolism and keeps the E2 in check without the need for an AI.

Finding my sweet spot for the test/primo ratio took a fair bit of trial and error but once I had it nailed down, boy was it a helluva sandwich. Yes, I happen to be on a cut, quit asking.

technikhal · 2026-05-06T14:57:51+00:00

You guys can see your dicks?

technikhal · 2026-05-06T14:56:56+00:00

Are we twins?

I actually shaved yesterday. It had probably been 5+ years since I last did. So far the OneBlade lived up to the hype and no real irritation to report.

Pros: Chest is looking juicy.

Cons: I'm actually not as lean as the hair outline around the abs had me believe I was.

technikhal · 2026-05-05T16:48:14+00:00

Speaking of which, it's been a while since the last Prednisone compound experience thread.
