In episode 294 threat podcast, Hadi Chupan was the main topic of discussion. That’s because the Iranian bodybuilder took to Instagram last week to share a progress update via Instagram, but some observers felt his midsection was far from Olympia. Fortunately, Chupan’s coach Milos Sartsev, who is a regular TMP panelist, shared his opinion.
While a flat stomach is a major goal for even the biggest bodybuilders, host Dennis James weighed in on the topic and admitted that his own abs were a serious mistake. “I’ve said it a thousand times,” James said. “I only regret that I chased the size too much. I should have backed off earlier. And my mistake, which I take responsibility for: I didn’t work to control my stomach,” said The Menace. “What I preach today (that) I did not do.”
This led James to direct the same concern to Chupan. “I wanted to ask a real question,” said the host. “Because Hadi posted some updates and many (are) talking about Hadi’s stomach. Milos, address this.”

Less than ten weeks away from the Mr. Olympia finals, Sarchev wasn’t worried about the negative buzz. “Yeah, I mean, listen, it’s 100% guaranteed that he’s always where he is,” the coach explained. Taking first place in Choopan in 2022 and second in the past three years, the Iranian has consistently been a formidable contender. Sarchev further explained that Chopan’s bloated appearance was only due to fluid intake. “It’s just pre-training, internal training, uh, extra, right?” suggested by The Mind.
Milos Sarchev said that this combination of drinks and additives made Choopan explode before taking pictures for the video. The trainer also shared that the bodybuilder is currently 9 kilos heavier than planned, but he “gets in shape very, very easily”.
Teammate Chris Cormier commented that Chupan’s large upper body needed attention because it could make his legs look smaller. Sarchev, however, remained unmoved, explaining that the Iranian “always has full control over the fetus. There is no problem.”
Sarchev concluded that Chupan had communicated that he intended to tread the boards in Las Vegas “like dry.” “That’s the plan.”
