Statements/Questions I never want to hear in the gym EVER again.

1) Were you big before you started lifting??

I'm not big now so I wasnt before.

2) Do you cycle (pause for thought) creatine and all that stuff?

Uh no

3) Some guy slowly sidles up to me "you cycle right bro?"...

Me: No I only do swimming for cardio.

4) Hey look thats guys got cotton wool falling outta his shorts.....

5) I used to be alot stronger a couple of years ago but I hurt my (insert bodypart) whilst lifting half a house for reps.

6) I know somebody who lifts more than you......

Really? Half the world could prob lift more than me.....

"Man, in high school I used to bench 450 and squat 500 lbs. Oh yea, I had abs back then also."

"Are you here to spot your husband?, must be real hard to spot someone"

Don't you find all that muscle makes you tight and slows you down.

I then proceed to drop into the splits, jump back up and open up on them with a 12 strike combination in 2 seconds flat.

I like the old stand by - especially now that school is back in session and some of the little ones are back trying to impress the girls in the cardio room...

Bench-Master 500: feet thrashing, red face, grunting
Spotter 450: front rowing like a sumbitch

"C'mon dude! That's all you!"

My favorites:

Won't that muscle just turn to fat if you stop lifting?

so is that what happened to YOU?

But you look great, why do you workout so hard?

Duhhhhh!

"Back in my day, I was HUGE"


"I used to squat, but then I never could after my knee injury" -- How many times have you heard that one?

"I'd like to lose fat and gain some serious muscle. Could you tell me how to do that?" -- If I knew that, I'd be a gazillionheir...

"You know, going that low when you squat will hurt your knees." -- Hasn't hurt me yet pal. Your knees must be in GREAT shape as small as your quads are.

"You should try using cell-tech!" -- Is that how you got so big?

Okay, here's one you don't hear in the gym but when somebody finds out you train on a regular basis, they typically say something like...

Yeah, I need to go back in the gym and get in shape again.

Back!?!? You never WERE in shape you slothy bastard. Jeeeez...
