"Are You a bodybuilder...?"

**UberSteroids** · 06-28-2007, 05:58 PM

Hah, well I was standing in the store today, looking at some tools. All the sudden I hear a guy asking me a question "Are You a bodybuilder...?", I turn around and I see some radnom guy, about very early 40s, pretty built himself, just looked like didn't do it in a while. I was thinking in my head... me? A bodybuilder? I just lift my ass off and eat 10lb sweet potatoes with chicken every day haha. So I replied, " no... not really", he goes "well You look like one..." I said... " Really? well, thank You, but I am no where near these guys", he smiled and walked away...
Interesting...
Well, I must be doing something right with my lifting and dieting, because seems like I do change, I just don't see it.
It was nice to hear though. Just a quick story

Take care guys.

i kinda enjoy when people ask what kind of workouts i do and ask about my diet and things like that. i had this guy at the gym tonight ask me if i was competing in this show coming up in a nearby city and i told him i didn't even know about it and i've never wanted to compete in a competition and actually i've never even been to a bodybuilding competition. i think we stood there and jaw jacked for 15 minutes and i didn't mind because i hadn't even started my workout yet. it's really been a way for me to meet people and help them out and learn things myself.

That guy knew that you were a juice monkey. He was probably an old war horse himself.

Someone of that age that is "pretty built himself" knows it when he sees it.

If i see someone with a good physique i always try to compliment them. Its damn hard work to stay in shape so we all deserve some nice comments!!!
I normally get "whose that big moody looking ****er"!!!

I get all the people telling me about their lifting injuries.

**Johny-too-small** · 06-29-2007, 12:31 PM

Everyone wants to know my diet. I feel like I should start charging.

**S.P.G** · 06-29-2007, 01:17 PM

And hey, isn’t it funny how most ppl that comment on you have always been bigger than you when they were younger... lol

'i need i diet,workout,basically everything cus im a lazy p*ick' lol

**anaBROLIC** · 07-02-2007, 06:48 PM

i work at a bar as a bouncer. i hate when dudes come up to me asking me for advice or just talk to me about lifting period. Go find some damn chicks!

**paulzane** · 07-03-2007, 07:52 AM

Nice to get compliments ..... most of us here deserve them sometimes!

**WEBB** · 07-03-2007, 08:21 AM

i always get " my son is about your size, maybe a bit shorter though"....bull shit... i know he isnt, not cause i think i am a some freak and no one is as big as me, i just know parents tend to exagerate a bit....

a couple weeks ago i was out at a bar with some friends and a guy came up to me and said i was the biggest guy he had ever seen in person, and just walked away...that was cool, and made me feel huge, i normally just feel average so that was nice.....

**Schmidty** · 07-03-2007, 05:17 PM

I luv getting compliments. I have a very poor self image, looking in a mirror i cant tell a difference from the day i started lifting. I have been convinced by my gf that she had bigger arms then me. She has like 9.5 or 10 inch arms, I have 17 inch arms and i still see a little srm when i look at it. Not that 17 in HUGE but its a lil bigger then average. ANYWAY its always a good ego boost when i get a coment like "Do u use roids", shit like that make me feel like im on top of the world and its not all in vain.
