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

[Wombat]

Your starting to see just how insecure a lot of weight lifters(bodybuilders) are. Hell take a look at the pro ranks and see how these guys treat each other and talk shit about each other. So what if they say they could beat you on stage. So what if they say this guy is competing? You are picking a "sport" where everyone is out for themselves. Take a look at the movie pumping Iron. Arnold trash talks about everyone. Use them as a tool to be bigger and better. If they mean nothing to you then prove it to yourself by leaving it alone. I know the types of guys your talking about and if you do say anything to them, it will only get worse because they know your intimidated by them. The gym is like a bar where everyone is talking about someone. You can either be the person that is talking about someone(usually because your jealous) or the one they are talking about(usually because they are jealous). Which one do you want to be. And if your really into bodybuilding. Then go to the gym to do the work and not get caught up in the other bullshit because if you do, it will only hurt you...peace

I agree here..They key is to show your not intimidated by them. I don't walk around the gym being a bad ass or trying to get on everyones way but people know to not talk to me and shit when I am lifting hard and am 100% focused on what I do. The only persona I generally talk to is my training partner. I love to help people with any questions before I start or after I have my post workout shake but when I am working out I'm all buisness. Get that kind of mentality and you'll do great. FUCK EM!!!! there fat so as they get fatter you keep going hard and geting bigger

FUCK EM!!! Don't pay attention! Or maybe a few of us could come down and have a couple training days together and if the bug u we'll just have to beat the living fuck outa them! We'll see how well they could talk about you when their jaws are wired shut! lol

Whats wrong with eating pizza six times a day?

 

[jstrong20]

Bro don't take that shit from them. Next time they say something confront them and tell them to fuck off. Chances are their just talk but either way don't take that shit and if they say they can beat you tell them to put their money were their mouth is and enter.

Thanks guys for all your help I will try the headphones thing. Its just so hard to diet like this and have assholes try to bring you down for no reason. Oh well its show time thats all that counts when im in the gym, and yes i will stick up for myself if this contiues.

Keep a cocky smile on your face when their around. Make em think you know something they don't.
Good luck on your upcoming show.
And congrats on kicking cancer's ass.

The world is full of people who try to make themselves feel better by putting others down. These guys are probably just jealous of your youth and leanness.

When stuff like this used to bother me, a friend of mine wpould say: "Who cares! They don't pay your rent!" It's a good attitude.

The more you accomplish in life, the more of these guys will be standing on the sidelines, trying to shake your confidence. Don't let them. Ever.

 

[Hugh Gellatts]

I see this stuff all the time...don't let it bother you and just use the anger to train harder. Part of it is the whole "Fat bloated piece of shit, but Mass Monster in his own mind" syndrome. These are the guys who with great pridehave to mention at every opportunity that they are 260, even it is obvious that most of that is anadrol water retention, fat and their heavy neanderthal bone structures. They might look big in clothes, but their physiques are crap and they have a hard time getting laid. The funny part is that most competitive bbers I know, especially those who are light heavy or lighter, do not look big at all when covered up (but look huge on stage).

I get a kick out of outlifting these lardass bozos...that makes them even more angry, LOL.

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.

Yep!
