Being Bullied at my gym, young guy needs your help!

[pumpedup17]

I dont post much here because everytime I have a question someone always asks it first. Anyway my problem is word got out around my gym that im doing my first show soon.

Im only 17 and drug free. I cant do the juice because of beating cancer when I was a young kid. Saying that you can see im not a huge guy, but I do have a good build and train everything even.

The problem is there is a group of guys who are always at the gym when I am there, they are FAT big, not MUSCLE big and everytime im training I can hear them say things like " this kid cant compete, or I could kill this guy on stage", and other things like that. They make a laugh noise when i walk by or after i do a set they give me a dirty look. I dont want to say anything to the staff because i dont want to look like a rat. This has been going on for about 3 weeks steady now and im sick of it. The gym is like a second home to me but lately I feel like shit when these guys are around.
PS- im not a pussy for my age i play aussi rule rugby and hockey, but these guys are about 30yrs and alot bigger then me so honestly they do intimidate me a bit. What would you guys do?? And why would they pick me to do this to are they jelous that they look like crap because they eat pizza 6 times a day?? Just thought I would ask because many of you have given me great info before. Thanks

fuck them bro,,dont pay attention to them,,obviously they are insecure about themselves to be talking shit about other ppl,

,if they pass by and still give u a had time ask them if they anything else better than you.....if they give u a smart remark then just say that them stareing u down is bothering you(hint at some gay remarks or something) Sounds like these guys are pussies, most likely they wont lay a hand on you

hang in there!!!

You can pretty much gaurantee that these fat slobs are just jealous since they don't have the discipline to compete. My answer would be to smack 'em upside the head with a plate, but thats my immature impulse. Fuck them bro, let 'em talk all they want. Their simple minds will soon forget about you. They'll eventually get tired of using the little pink weights and go back home to their doughnuts and gay porn. Just put on some headphones and crank up the tunes. Fuck them and good luck with your show.

i'd just wait until next time they say something and walk up to them and in a cool but firm why ask them what the problem is. i bet they will end up being pretty cool and laugh it off like they are just playing with ya. and after they get to know you a bit, they'll start to pick on someone else.

if that fails, just get your boys together and beat them down. that always works as a last resort. LOL

or u can walk in the gym armed to the teeth like the matrix,,and continue doing your workout

there like must fat cunts in the auddiance of a bodybuilding show they say you know hes smooth got no muscle that guy has no calfs and shit like that

but none of emm have ever competed or have the wheelpower to diet to get in shape.

Yeah that would be hard. Dieting and focusing in on a show while some meatheads beside you are throwing all this negativity at you. Personally I'd try to go in at a different time if i were you because you don't need to surround yourself with that sort of negativity while you are training for a show. The walkman thing is a good idea but it won't get rid of those goofs.
I sort of know what you mean and it's drop dead jealousy. If 30 year olds are comparing themselves to a 17 year old something is really wrong with them, they are totally insecure. Guess you're going to have to grin and bear it, not much other choice. Just laugh at them and try to focus as well as you can.

Start acting crazy. Like talk as if someone were in front of you. Like an imaginary friend. I bet they wont fuck with you then.

Just be "in the zone" at the gym, don't aknowledge them or even give them a hint of your good graces by even wasting the energy to turn your head in their direction. Do your workout and pretend they don't exist. It sounds like these fat slobs are worthless anyhow, so why give them any kind of pleasure in letting them, and their attempts to hurt you, get to a good bro like yourself...

YUM

Fuck them assholes, your best offense is ignore them. If you drop to their level, then your as bad as they are. Training hard speaks for it self, six months from now you'll still be in the gym getting big and those jackasses will be home getting fatter. Let them laugh, because in the end you'll be the one laughing bro. I know it's hard, but what the fuck are they going to do, most of the time it's all bark, no bite.
