    Douche-bags who walk around trying to look "naturally flexed"...

    When you walk around with your arms out as if your lats are bigger than they actually are, and you throw your chest forward as if your chest is bigger than it actually is....

    Everyone notices what a massive douche you are. You're the only one on earth who assumes people think you're just big.

    Everyone is laughing at you, douche.

    Stop being a douche, douche.

    Lol. True. I tried to find a picture of someone doing this but couldn't find any. I don't know what search terms to use because I have no idea what this posturing would be called. Douche stance?

    We have a guy here at work that's notorious for it...especially when he's in his car. He rolls his elbow towards the sky to make his tris look larger. Guess he thinks he's Vin Diesel or something.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Dont allow others to aggravate your life friend. Best thing to do is stare at them and smile maybe even throw in a "looking big bra" compliment giving them a false sense of identity

    I knew a guy like that however, when I finally called him on it he advised that he has sever hyperhidrosis, which is excessive under arm sweating. He was trying to limit his sweating by airing out his underarms.

    hahahaha Tell him to try deodorant or pads. If it's real they do have surgery to fix that.

    Too many people simply equate body weight with being muscular.

    Wrong.

    Correct....and being big doesn't always translate into strength. I've seen some pretty big kids in the gym who can do any more than 8-10 pull ups. Then a scrawny kid comes along as reps out 25-30 without increasing his heart rate by much. Makes me laugh.

    I saw this kid tonight clearly trying to curl more than he was capable. He was throwing his shoulders, hips, and back into each damn set. Would have served him right if he tore his bicep and dropped to the floor holding his arm.

    That was me in 10th grade. I ended up in a class full of Seniors, all from the Varsity and JV football team and of course the Cheerleaders. I have NO idea how I ended up in there. I was the smallest by far, 140 lbs soaking wet.

    1st couple of days all we did was testing. It came to chins and I was the last to go. So far the most done was 15 and everyone though it was great. I had never done chins and the teacher was VERY strict on making sure you went down and locked out and chin above the bar, no bounce.

    When my name was called the head cheerleader called me by a nick name she thought was fitting. When I ripped off 25 chins without breaking a sweat you could have heard a pin drop. I also did more dips than anyone, pushups and could damn near bench as much as the bigger guy.

    Luckily it earned me some respect. It didnt hurt I ended up being the ET (exploratory teacher) for most of them since I had already completed all my math they had to offer and a lot of them graduating/passing depended on me.

    It's called ILS!
    Imaginary Lats Syndrome
    Example...geez that skinny c*nt over near the squat rack has a bad case of ILS

    Had a guy at uni that had a severe case of ILS and I used to make a habit of going up to him and putting my hands on his elbows and then squeezing them back into his torso so he looked somewhat normal.

    I have ALS (Actual Lats Syndrome) and especially with a pump, my arms are held out by my lats, to the point where I get self conscious about it.

    Deep therapeutic massage can help relax the back and shoulder muscles, allowing the arms to fall to the sides better, but I haven't had one in a looong time.

    Sounds like a good excuse to go get a Thai massage.

    I have no doubt about that. I have been very impressed on how a 90 lbs Thai girl can twist and bend someone 2x their size and use their hand, feet and elbows to apply enough pressure to make you cry and feel so good at the same time.

    Yes they kiss know how to kiss you and make you feel better also.

    There's a local dock bar I frequent in the summer and there's this one guy, maybe 5'11, 175 with a cut upper body but zero legs. Always wearing some type of compression or "show off" shirt and standing as if on stage. He must be exhausted by the time he gets home. I can't help but crack up. I purposely try to make eye contact with him as I'd love to nicely tell him what a dick he looks like. He always seems to wander off as if he doesn't want to be seen near me. Cracks me up.

    I have a buddy who broke his elbows twice falling out of a tree when we were kids. Now one arm is always in Douche mode. Lol. He cant help it and naturally is always in that position. But he still looks like a douche even though he cant help it.

    Very few things embarrass me but if I catch myself standing with ILS I want to kick my own ass. And in the gym, I never wear cut off sleeves or tank tops. I think I have pretty good arms, but I've always been self-conscious about being "that guy." Every gym already has enough of them whether they deserve the title or not. But I'll admit, every now and then if I'm feeling really good I'll go to a far off corner and role a sleeve up or pant leg. Been caught a couple times, lol!

    Little off topic. Some high schoolers grabbed the hand held bf% checker. And I laughed cause majority of them were lean with probably 100lbm. And I heard a ohhhh so I glanced and one came over and said do you think it's right? I looked and the machine said 4%. I grinned and said you should step on stage
