Went straight to the spank bank


Obelix has been working his ass off, and we speak on the daily with updates and questions and feedback. The strength increase has been great, his dedication is good and this week we start with skiploads to keep his metabolism firing on all cylinders.

We haven't seen much of a Weight drop since we pulled calories down, but that is due to the fact that we have a trt dose of test going on which resulted in a small spokenin blood pressure due to some water retention issues. Easy fix. We have also got the mindset going muscle building and strength gain is the main port of call vs just out and out "weight" loss. And as you've seen, the compliments he has been getting is driving the process and I like the fact he is driven to get new personal best goals with his training which is going to result in way more muscle and better body composition than just weight loss alone.

Keep it up obelix, I'm proud of what we have achieved so far and it's going to keep going.

Its not easy , its not always fun... But Its what I need and theres only one way to get results.

Thanks for all the help Empire, you really know your stuff

So far 2.5kgs down.
Let's do this!

Ninja turtle man, Hows the progress?

From my side, Started a lower calorie week now. Last week was also lower but we are still finding the right balance. Feeling good easing into it.
Main concerns are finding the right foods to meet the macros. Ending up chucking some (Small amounts) chicken breast into a fried egg on toast to get protein etc. But keeping to what I have been given.

Overall feeling good. Last week I had a small injury with my bicep. this week shes all good and accepting the heavy weights I chucked at her.

I cant believe how long i was cocking about, not noting my weights and just going to gym, because I could. For the last 3 weeks I have been increasing big time. Getting more positive again and also getting ready to break the 185 mark, only a few grams away.

Best of all, Got some major compliments this morning at the gym, some from ladies too!

Hey man, yeah my cut is going well.
Almost 4kg down.
Training is starting to get a little tougher, but trying to push through and keep intensity up.

awesome man! keep it up, Training is probably getting harder because of a calorie deficit.
Power through, almost there!

So had some blood pressure issues, it wasnt dropping like it should. I have spoken to a doc and am on Meds now.

Still getting stronger every time I go in, Only thing I'm staying the same on is the damn smith machine. I dunno why But I hate that thing


Weight-wise, kg's are staying around the same, But I am noticing a difference in the mirror and cms. My wife asked me the other day when I get traps. Told her I got them at the Gun store (while flexing). She just went to bed and said my jokes suck

amazing how putting on muscle can do for your confidence. well done, keep it going !

Ok, so after struggling a bit to shed, going back to 190 at one point..... We figured out I am a dumbass

I was skipping a few things and not tracking all my food. Thankfully my coach didnt kak on me and helped me out. we went through everything and turns out i was missing quite a bit,

anyways, this morning I was 1 shart short of a 180.0.. tomorrow i break into the 170's!

Plus sides, Leg press, Im on 260kg's for 15-20 reps,
Squat form has improved drastically
hammer curls , db curls and fly's have all doubled in weight

Im able to do a full 15minutes on that god awful Elliptical machine before taking a 1-2min break. Heart rate constantly between 125-140

Blood pressure is into the mid to high 140's, down from 180 about a month ago,
Sugar levels have dropped from 6.5 to an average 5.3 (fasted, testing every 2-3 day)


Overall, I cant believe the changes, Im nearly 35kg's down from my heaviest, With it just getting easier.

We have cut carbs quite a bit, BUT there is still flexibility. Im still having to think hard on how to fill out the macro's, but everyday I get a new idea and not once have i had to eat dry chicken and brocolli. Im loving life!


Empire, Words cant express how much this has helped. You are a legend man

Shitting clients out for not complying to a diet is never going to workout. Long term compliance is where we need to be, and if you feel you can't be honest when you have slipped up is going to make you not want to give feedback and can progress to all out binges and that's going to be worse off.

We are working on a 3 hour diet, your calorie requirement for the next 3 hours. If you aren't going to be massively active, then calorie requirements are not going to be massively needed. Blood sugar and BP being down for long term health is the main game and it's great to see we are on the progress train after a few hiccups.

The strength increase over the long term is going to be the massive make or break point. The more strength in the hypertrophy range means more muscle growth, and long term if we get you to gain 10 to 20kgs of muscle, means that your caloric requirements to maintain that muscle is going to be drastically higher too!

Keep up the hard work and let's get to that next milestone of 170!

Hi Obelix,

Give us an update there brother

Hey man! thanks for remembering me

Im still not into the 170's, BUT weight is staying stable and im feeling strong like a bull.
1 arm rows went up to 45's this morning, DB chest press back to 40's, Leg pressing 300's again without pooping myself

Cardio still sucks big ol donkey balls. But hey it makes me skinny. Wifes complimenting me alot more on shoulders and traps. Chest is coming in. Need to get rid of the gut and lower titties but they are shrinking.

Going to up the test this wednesday a bit, not much but its a small change.
Wife has started gymming with me now. We moved the routines around abit to work with my office schedule and enable her to get her butt there too. Nice to have someone motivate me and Im able to motivate her. Overall my life has changed so much since last year october. Joinging this forum and chatting to you all has really been a big positive.
Still chatting daily to my coach, even though his province is washing away. Keeps me going and keeps me going strong!

I think we are almost at the perfect balance of cravings/diet/lifestyle now. Overall im really really happy and positive.

Glad to hear it! Keep it up brother, I'm really happy to read about all the progress you've made and seeing how your life has turned around. Document everything, keep those progress photos and post them on here some time

I have some progress pics, Im not photogenic like you guys

I will take some tonight again and post original vs now, I personally dont see much diff in the pics, But Im also used to seeing what i look like


I will curse you all with the evidence soon

Ok, So once again, I cant see much diff with the pictures. But we still gonna post them

Hide your kids, Hide your wives. Those with sensitive stomachs leave now


First pics are from 28November 2021

This was taken last night 17/04/2022





Remember kids, You can be anything you want to be, Even a before photo model or a warning to the youth

You say you don't see much difference, but the fat loss is there and drastic over a short space of time, big place that noticed number 1 is the lower back and love handles and the girth of your hips front to back, the reduction of arm width is next, also the amount your stomach protrudes out past your chest is drastically reduced. Width of shoulders has come down too. Legs have improved aswell.

So just an update for all the guys here that said obelix didn't need so many calories and carbs and blah blah blah..

We systematically pulled down calories week on week, which initiated a weight drop however, even though food volume was high, compliance and recovery was an issue. Some untracked items where had, so what we did is flipped the switch, increased calories back up and hey, compliance went up but so did strength and recovery.

This is a big thing. Obelix is a big guy, and the main focus whilst loosing weight and body fat is also gaining strength, we have had to look at this long term as when we push things too low, it's hard to stick to and that means the diet is failing.

I'm extremely proud of what he is doing and even what he has gotten his wife to do allowing them both to live a healthier life style. With the help of lesdoctor too, we have gotten his fasting blood glucose down drastically even when eating large amounts of carbs daily.

Blood pressure is in check too, and he is Making progress with weights daily, he has not complained about doing the work other than recovery issues which would manifest into injury so had to pull back a little with certain things exercise wise. I get in daily feedback and he is dedicated to the goal, strength wise he is still climbing up and soon when strength is better, things like squats will be easier.

Thanks man,

Honestly it sucks looking at those pics, I have to face what the last 10+ years of "living the good life" have done to me.

I had pics open next to each other after posting this and yeah, I can see a difference. Its not a day and night difference, but there is some. Once the love handles and lower titties go, I think I will be looking alot better.

Couldnt have done it without you Empire, you are a legend man

Obelix, mate... That is a massive difference. And as Empire says, in a short space of time. Well done to you and Empire. Glad too your missus has joined you on your journey. This will make things so much easier for you and the benefits for you both short and long term are huge.
To you sir, I doff my hat!

Empire made it easier to see the differences,

30kg. well fucken done...

where the DNP at doe. ur in dire need of stimulants xD

whats ur BP now also ? did it drop ?

also try and get ur fasted Blood Glucose for us daily and then average it. so that we know if insulin resistance may be the case.

BP does fluctuate, but it is more consistent ,his fasting bg is down in the 5s down which is good. He is working with me and Lesdoctor. Glucophage is on point and it's doing its job incredibly well. Diet changes have been made now after another diet break and he is ready to smash it.

Also dnp is not for the faint hearted, and we wouldn't need that at this point when he is dealing with compliance with hunger issues. Dnp would be fucking detrimental to progese if constantly hungry and potentially over eating. Remember dnp creates a great calorie deficit, but you can still get fat on it.

down in the 5s ? damn...
The real recomp begins now


see "drugs" are also user dependent. some people can take dnp and controll hunger. got my buddy from HS to take 50mg a day. sorted his bloodsugar levels out and he lost 30kg.

but damn was he agro/annoyed

for now 30kg is SOLID. like damn that was fast. what a month ish ?


@Obelix well done champ. I dont say it to alot of people but you're doing wonders atm.

Now if you look at practical application of dnp, 50mg is nothing, number 1. But any stimulant or fat burner in essence will raise blood sugar levels, when liberating the fat you get glycerol and free fatty acids mobilized into the blood stream, then you need to actually utilize that blood glucose and mobilized fat through oxidation eg cardio or weight training to get rid of it.

Now what dnp is doing in the background is improving insulin sensitivity and burning through that blood glucose and blood lipids and being released as heat causing the deficit. So in actual fact, similar action occurs when using any stimulant. So if you get bloods done on dnp, you will see high blood glucose, as well as high cholesterol based on the mechanisms above.

So 50mg of dnp is such a small dosing, that you would only get a 5% increase in metabolic rate. Now 500mg is a different story.

So he could have gotten away with 500-1000mg of Glucophage and a 5% decrease in calories.

BP is down alot, was in the high 170's up to 180's at one point, Strangely didnt get headaches etc. Standing up quick made me light headed but thats it.

this week i have been between 135 and 140 over 80's all week. Thats big

Like Empire said, sugars are average 5, dropped to a 4.8 this week aswell.
Overall I think its decent so far. Started properly in november, dropped big time then from jan I have been stuck in the 180's. Was up to 190 again at one point.

Like Empire also said, diets been a bit of an issue. Cravings are getting sorted. Todays a bad day but I have some fruit to hopefully sort that out. Also old habits of watching motogp and F1 with a bag of sweets. Today its some bilton sticks and coke zero. Lets see how that works out


As for stimulants. Nothing beats some pure backyard tik. Sprinkle of your coco pops and you are good for a week!

The F1 cravings are real.
