dealing with being fit question

[PolfaJelfa]

lmao

I love the looks i get after anwsering like that in a bar or something. Or when someone comes up to you to talk about working out. They go on about they work out here....and then they ask ...do you work out there too...Say...i dont work out dude seriously.

I would just tell your work buddys your on B-12 and Weight gainers, you train 2 hours/day and hired a personal trainer.

listen dont worry so much. when you first do roids people will comment on your size. it is a little nerveracking at first because you dont want people to know you are a juicer.

some people will know you are on the juice, some will suspect. most will forget about it two seconds later as they go on with their own lives and think of the person who really matters to them: themselves.

one of the cool things about getting older is you realize it means absolutely nothing what others peoplel say. when people put others down it is more about THEM than the person they are trashing.

after a while people will accept your new look. enjoy your newfound studliness. it feels great doesnt it?

Regular joes are very impressed with the term Personal Trainer. Its a big deal to them.
Sad part is around my house at all the gyms even the newbies are bigger and know more than most the PT's here.

 

[brandonp005]

yeah, around here we don't have personal trainers

got some gym bitches (18yr. old punks) who think they are trainers because they show fat bitches how to use the treadmills!

 

[brandonp005]

one of them the other day was squating and i asked if i could step in.......he looked and me and said yes.......then i started my shoulder presses.....lol

 

[PolfaJelfa]

In your situation your best bet is to simply diffuse the situation by telling people exactly what they don't want to hear. Tell them you gave up your social life for 6 months and spent your free time training and being meticulous about your diet. Explain how you eat 40 grams of protien every 3 hrs and never miss a workout. Explain to them that they can do it to if they'd just give up all of the things in life that they enjoy too-which ain't gonna happen. This is passive aggressive at it's best. By explaining to them your hard work and discipline in detail, it will probably make them feel like shit that they don't possess the mental strength that you have to attain fitness. Avoid the topic of juice when it comes up-laugh it off-or make jokes about horses, etc. They'll be dying to hear that you use them-so deny it. It's not like they give a fuck about your health. They just wanna be able to gossip with others and say that they heard from your own mouth that you are a cheating, roid abusing, felon(not a great resume builder) so they can feel better about their own pathetic lives.

Personally, I just avoid contact with anyone that doesn't accept me for who I am. Fortunately I don't have a boss or coworkers to worry about-but I realize that most people don't have that luxury.

Still, prepare for the worst. It's coming. Almost everyone I know that has a job surrounded by fat ass, sedentary lifestyle types end up being persecuted by their coworkers and boss for being into fitness. Just the mere sight of you makes most of them want to cry. Revenge is sweet-but it's not gonna help you climb the corporate ladder any faster in most workplaces.

Women are literally throwing themselves at you in a bar saying come home and fuck me? What bars are you hanging out in, I never get that kind of luck .

I agree this is probably the best approach for people that don't know me but the ones who do obviously know something is up. How do I deal with them?

If you're worried about work: keep a tub of Creatine and a tub of protein powder with you at work in your desk or wherever. Make sure people see you eating protein bars. If you're ever invited to go out to lunch, politely decline, and say that you're eating just a protein shake. Keep a copy of a recent muscle comic laying around. That will give everybody enough of a "Plan B" that the 'roid talk will stop. You'll just be branded a "health nut" at work.

Yo.....I would get it often in the Civilian World. My answers would usually revolve around all of the "supps" and food I've been consuming....i.e...Multi's, creatine, glutamine, flax, whey and 4,500-5,000 calories a day.
Also, I'd let them know I was at the gym twice a day: Morning cardio and evening weights.

Now, your job......Your close bros really shouldn't say anything if you know what I mean. You're supposed to be one!!!!! If you spent time in the field for quite a long time, most likely you lost a ton of weight, so tell whomever that a rapid increase in weight is common in the first few months back.
