Ever find people you know start to treat you aggressively when you get bigger?

[WEBB]

it is jealousy and "alpha dog" crap...there will always be someone out there that will tell you have or do lift more, was or will be bigger..it is how you react to these situations that determine how big of a man you really are...i just laugh and smile and agree with them no matter how ridiculous...

webb, I cannot tell you how many people I have met, that used to bench so and so and used to weight so and so and used to be as big as so and so.

One time, I was talking to these two rediculously gorgious chicks.....This guy comes over, just randomly, didnt even know him, just to tell me that I looked pretty big to break the ice into the convo, than proceeded to brag about himself and that he used to bench 450...theirs that used to word again...Ironically, he asked for a spot from me one time, and had the absolute most God awful form I have ever seen on the bench press bouncing 295 off the chest for one and not bouncing hard enough on number 2......
and just for the record, I dont bench press myself because I believe it to be a ego garbage exercsise...

and when I get asked how much I bench, i respond by saying its a garbage exercise that has torn more pecs than you can believe and I dont do it because I dont feel its safe for me.


ok end rant.....lol.....The best response I have thought up, and use it all the time...goes like this......I just act real in awe and congradulate them, and say something like "wow, I cant imagine how kick ass that must have been....muscle memory is great, you should get in back nor prob. and in no time" crickets.

haha man...ive had that conversation with so many people its ****in ridiculous..when some asshole comes up to me and talks to me about working out..and how he used to be "about my size" or some kind of other bullshit, i always just partonize them untill they leave me alone. hah ive actually told probably a couple dozen people that i bench 950 lbs, and squat over 1000, just because i know they dont know what theyre talkign about..and literally every time ive said that, no one has questioned me. im obviously all about working out, i ****in love talking about the gym with people who genuinely appreciate it, but i hate it when people walk up to me and automatically feel like they have a shortcoming they have to make up for by lying about all these laurels they think earns themselves respect from me, when really i dont give a crap whether or not they work out.
