I've been running in to some old friends and family that I don't see on a regular basis. They remember me as a 5' 10" skinny guy at 140 lbs. Well, after some time in the gym, a decent diet and some juice I managed to get up to around 205lbs. The initial response from 65% of them is "what the ****, are you on steroids ?" followed with the "you are huge, what are you weighing/benching?".

my first response is a laugh and a "get the the **** out of here" in a completely joking manner, (not a raged GET THE **** OUTTA HERE!!!!) or i'll say "Yea, steroids man!!!" completely sarcastic just to make light of the whole situation. I feel if you make a big stink about it then they really will think you are on steroids.

I know some of you guys have had this question thrown at you. So, tell your experiences and your responses!
