Anyone receive negativity from their bodybuiding?
over the last year since i have started cycling i have been receiving a lot of negativity from people, friends, family, strangers - i wandered if anyone can relate to this and what they do about it
i find that strangers, or people i have just met asume me to be arrogant (this doesnt bother me that much, but it is definitely noticeable)
some people feel the need to put me down
eg ex girlfriends - "god i dont fancy you anymore your too big"
i over heard my girlfriends friend say once "i cant believe you are going out with him? he's just a meat head who fancies himself"
friends ask me "why the need to get so big - whats the point?"
"you dont need to get any bigger"
"you looked good before - now your too big"
"your stating to look ridiculous"
when i say, that its a hobby, i enjoy it, they question it
"why why why" blah blah
family nag me about supplemetnts, "what are they doing to your health?"
"is there any point to all this bulking, where is it getting you"
of course there are the good sides, like less people wanting to start a fight with you, holding doors open for you and getting out your way which makes me laugh
and the girls who like to squeeze your pecs
people asking you advice
people watching you in the gym as you attempt a new bench max
