POLL: What were you in High School & college

**Canes4Ever** · 02-12-2002, 02:00 PM

Be honest , what were you in school?

I was and still am the dweeby nerd. I have worn glasses since I was 10 years old. I could not throw or catch a ball, was clumsy and lousy at sports.

I love sports just can't play them.

Did you hate kids in High School that were not jocks? Did you look down on them?

**THE BIG RED MACHINE** · 02-12-2002, 02:08 PM

In high school, I was known as the nice guy, but not excessively popular. In College I am know as muscle head, but still the nice guy.

Big Red, do you find that people that once may not have talked to you, because you were just a "normal guy", now will speak to you and include you in their group because you now have big muscles?

Now the dopeheads. They were the ones I would stuff in the lockers.

I had some very rough experiences with the jock types. I was a band nerd, and because we had band practice after school, I took gym 1st class every semester, with the jocks because they also had their after school sports.

They just couldn't understand why I couldn't catch a ball or throw one as well as they could. It was terrible at the time you were picking teams, as they would say the worst things about you and my already bad self-esteem would sink even lower.

Upon reflection, Jr & High School was not one of the hightlights of my life.

To tell you the truth Canes, I now Dwarf most of those guys that were the big Jocks back in high school. I’m Canadian and most of them worked out (barely) just because they played high school hockey. Once high school was over and they were forced to realize that they had no real talent outside of that, most of them stopped working out and being active all together. So I save my sarcasm for them. To answer your question best, I would say most of them kiss my ass now as oppose to how they used to treat the non-jocks in high school. Ahhhh muscle mass is such sweet revenge. Ok, I’m ready for Jenny Jones now.

That's cool. I have noticed that actually many of your bodybuilders at one time actually were the skinny guy who was picked on, and many of them have sympathy with the skinny kid who is getting picked on.

**lil_josh** · 02-12-2002, 02:29 PM

I am a preppie type in high school, have never been the nerdy type though. Deffinantly not the football player jock type, I play baseball

That's right Canes, what goes around comes around. I am in no way regretful as to how things went in high school. If things happened a little differently and I hit that early growth spurt, I could very well have been that dickhead hockey jock and treated the non-jocks badly. I actually think that being small then, shaped me into the self-confident nice guy that I am today. I never look at a smaller guy in the gym that the jocks tease and think, "You're worthless", because I know that 5-10 years from now that kid could be bigger and more successful than any of them.

Actually I have found that the baseball players were the bigger snobs in High School and College (not meaning you personally). I thought of them as definately the "Jock" type.

Big Red, so right you are....I recently had a run in with one of those types at the gym. I'm not sure how to retrieve a thread on here, but it was several weeks ago. I talked about the guy who came into our gym recently, and made fun of my 225 lb deadlift. By the way, a week later he was taken in handcuffs by the police from the gym owing to an incident he had with another gym patron.

If it seems strange but I used to daydream, believe it or not, that I had the powers of the witches on the Bewitched show and I would dream at night about how I would get back at the asshole jocks and make them respect me. Dumb I know, but shows how low my self-esteem was as a kid.

**THE BIG RED MACHINE** · 02-12-2002, 02:45 PM

Guess your wish came true if he left in bracelets though didn’t it? I guarantee he’s gonna ditch that tough guy attitude once he spends some time behind bars with the “right” people.

Oh yeah he will. He actually wasn't even arrested for what he did at the gym, when the police questioned him, and checked his background, they found out he was wanted on several outstanding warrents.

nice guy and good friend -jock but not a stuck up ass ,didnt go to well with the stuck up jock crowd ,lol

**MR PHATT ASS** · 02-12-2002, 06:45 PM

**RageControl** · 02-12-2002, 06:56 PM

Wheres the party animals ??
I was the drunkin pothead dude that never went to class.
you should see the looks on the people i knew in high schools faces when they see me as i am now.

It feels good.

They cant believe i put down the bong and picked up a dumbell. But they will never understand the high i get from lifting.

And those who see me tend to always place me in a category without getting to truly know me. But, I am friends with everyone and most like me

TG are you still in college? How has having big muscles affected your ability to play tennis? Are you still on the tennis team or have you quit to bodybuild?

Inquiring minds want to know

**PaPaPumP** · 02-13-2002, 01:56 AM

I was a jock for half my high school career, then I ditched the team sports for weight lifting, as It kept my interest, and I actually WANTED to train every day. Well in college, I'm just a ...well I go to parties 3+ times a week, so I duno, that makes me a ...well NORMAL!

BTW I don't drink, so for all you college boys out there pondering on whether or not to do a cycle because "I GOTTA DRINK!!! IM IN COLLEGE!!!" . Well get your priorities straight, you wanna be HUGE? Or do you wanna get drunk and look like an idiot. Shit I don't need alcohol to make me look like an idiot, I just be myself.

**bortort** · 02-13-2002, 02:29 AM

I graduated High school at 120#'s and played no sports. I was friends with every kinda group there was, but I was far from a jock. I started asking around about AS back then, but was told I was too young. (guess what, I waited ) I now went to my 10 year , and nobody knew who I was. I feel much better about myself know.

**PaPaPumP** · 02-13-2002, 02:40 AM

Ya bro, I left at 140. I can't wait for mine already.

**$uperman** · 02-13-2002, 03:52 AM

I played football and baseball in highschool. I didnt act like a jock though , i barely ever wore my letter jacket. Most of my friends were in the " IN CROUD " and i was considered popular but i pretty much hung w/ everyone i talked to anyone. I dressed prep and still do , i didnt act like a snob though , i didnt want any enemys. I enjoyed gettting to know different people. I still play baseball , i play for college and our team is the base of the school but i still dont want to be considered above everyone else.

**ironmike7000** · 02-13-2002, 07:49 AM

I played football and basketball in high school. Usually I hung out with the guys I played ball with. But I did have friends who were'nt in sports. I always tried to treat everyone the same.

Drinking 2 drinks takes away the whole fat buring you got in one workout. So for every 2 beers you drink, you lose a workout. Not too smart if you ask me.

Tulane ? LSU ? New Orleans ? La-Layfayette? La-Monroe? Let us know.

Dude, I'm a huge college baseball fan. (if you see my sig, it's shows I'm a huge Canes fan). We have a game tonight, and are having a rough season, uncharacteristic of a Miami record, being 2-4 so far. I knew it would be rough, but didn't think it would be this bad. Especially coming off a National Championship.

**dane26** · 02-13-2002, 11:38 AM

i was a jock in high school and college, but that doesn't mean that i don't LOVE my dutch masters after a long day at work and a tough workout. i need a category for high school/collge jock/dopehead!

**Canes4Ever** · 02-13-2002, 11:59 AM

Anybody with guesses as to who the 2 pro athletes are in our midst?

**KrashRoute** · 02-13-2002, 05:32 PM

I hear you on that one dane. In HS i was athletic, and did real well in class, all my HS friends were the "in crowd" i guess, which then just meant you drank heavily and smoked alot, and did alot of stupit shit. All my friends I grew up with were the neighborhood dilenquents though. I dont think i had one person that I would actually chill with in any of my classes in hs, or college for that matter. I like hardcore, and the MX scene, but I play ball and hell i dunno, im pretty normal I guess. Never really bullied anyone unless I was stickin up for some little freshmen or somethin. Im kinda a sarcastic goof too. Guess i was the athletic/nerdy/wise ass/dopehead

**ibiza69** · 02-14-2002, 05:17 AM

i hardly even went to highschool. i did most of my schooling on a bus, because i played junior hockey in the whl (most canadians should know what the whl is). but i still had friends in school eventhough i was only there maybe 2 days a week, playing hockey made me pretty popular but i knew most of the people who hung out with me did so only because i played junior hockey. and thought that i might one day play pro (drafted in the 7th round by the ny islanders),which i am not doing because of very severe hip problems. its been almost a year and a half since i graduated highschool and i hav'nt played hockey since the summer. i'm really into bb now, i've been lifting since i was 15, i'm 20 now and have been juicing now since i was 17. i'm thinking about doing my first comp in maybe 2003. i'm about 265-270 at 6"
15% bf. kinda going on and on but i think highschool is great, at least for me it was the best time of my life, so far anyways

How did it make you feel Ibiza, knowing that these folks only hung out with you because of your athletic prowess, and not because of the REAL person you are? Did you feel they were fake and not really interested in knowing you?

**ibiza69** · 02-14-2002, 04:48 PM

canes, honestley is made me feel kind of used, i know it sounds sappy but it did. but you basically see right through those kind of people.

Its sad because I'm sure they missed out on knowing a good guy. Shame that some people only can put a value on someone because of their physical size and strength, because one's strength of character is worth much, much more.

Ibiza (and others) are people treating you differently now that you are older and in the "real world" so to speak? Are people seeing you for what you are worth inside and not just because of your big muscles?

**ibiza69** · 02-14-2002, 06:57 PM

people are so different now that i go university as apossed to highschool because more value is put on the person rather than the cool car that people drove in highschool or if their a jock or even because if they have a grat phisique. once you are in the "real world" everything changes people tend to mature their ideas about what is important in life. i feel that people are seeing me for what i am as a person and not what i look like or what i do.
BTW good question Canes4ever
