    My fiance complains that I am too small at 285lbs!!!!!! But at the same time she complains at night that if I put my arm across her when we are going to sleep, it crushes her and she can't breath. Go figure.

    I used to years ago when I started out, but I guess friends and family are used to 'Big ol Marto' as I'm called!.

    Not yet . . . if it happens, I'll just tell 'em I'm fine as long as I can get through doors.
    But yah, I can see how it would get annoying . . . plus it cuts into your mental frame of mind when you're at the gym, trying to go for another max; sometimes when you're pushing that last rep, you hear those d*** voices saying, "Your too . . ." instead of "It's gotta go up, d***it," makes it harder to do what ya gotta do.
    Sucks.

    You're fine as long as you can get through all the doors you need to without accidentally knocking down any walls . . . don't worry about it.

    My family and my girl tell me that all the time...

    Mean while I still felt like I'm the skinny 135lb kid I use to

    be even though I'm in the 230lb plus range most of the time...

    Hahaha.. Never listen to it.. When i see my mother she always says i'm getting too big, why do you want to be so big? Your skin is stretching, don't get too big, it's not healthy, this is what i hear.. My ex g/f loved that i had a extra size, all my friends train, they tell me i'm small..

    One big dysfunctional family..

    get this sorken, some dumb chick at my school told me my chest was too big and sticks too far out. the best part is, this chick has breast implants and her tits are huge. it was really hard for me to bite my tongue but i did.

    i feel you. most of the time the too big comments come from beanpoles which i absolutuely cant stand even if it is a compliment. thank god my parents are cool. the just keep saing wow your bigger, dont get too big.

    i think most guys will percieve these comments as negative and maybee even spitefull towards our physique. this is what drives me. i want to show them that its never enough and always strive for more. i cant speak for everyone but im sure there are alot of bros who feel the same way.
