Stupid assumptions made about the general public w/ weight training

[Kakdiesel]

Um, I'm kinda getting sick and tired that people at my work/school/anywhere else make these assumptions that because I"m vascular, they think i'm steroids. I mean, hello, anybody hear of low bodyfat %?

I mean I've been asked that question ever since I was 165 lbs and at 5-6%bf...165! LOL..

plus I usually have very low subcutaneous water levels anyways, therefore i never look bloated or hold water in my arms, forearms, or front delts.

And I hate the assumption when people go on and on how they need to do crunches so they can have a six pack..my friend in the air force was talking to me and goin on and on about how he wants a six pack and was wondering if i can help him. Well I told him the truth. Cut out the beer. The weed. Cut the carbs a bit, do cardio in the morning and do ab exercises 2-3 times aweek and he'd get there someday.

This dumb fuck was like, I cant give up the beer and partying, but cant I just do crunches a lot?

lol oh and this guy said that he's been trying to get "cut" so he's been doing push ups every morning with crunches...

My favorite is when you show them how to workout and they (especially ladies) say "Well, I don't want to get TOO big...". Yeah, as if it's that easy!

Also I love the line "I don't do legs because I do a lot of biking/running/cardio, so that's plenty of leg workout for me."

But can't I just go get some Myostatin blocker and blow away your gains with 1/100th of the effort ! After all none of us actually do any real 'work' to our gains right?

LOL yeah thats a popular one...how about this famous workout routine:

Monday Upper body
Tuesday Lower body
Wednesday Upper body
Thursday Lower body
Friday upper body

Each training session lasting almost 2 hours

When people find out I lift they say one of two things-
"wow, you don't look like you do, you're so small"
or
"why would you want to do that-- you look great right now, don't ruin it by trying to look like a man".


Right now I'm 5'7, about 135, 17%ish. My training is totally messed up from my wrist right now and I'm a fairly compact person, but I'm a hell of a lot more lean than the girls at the gym who way a lot less than I do. I agree with SM-- people act like I'm going to lift and then wakes up one day as a 200 pound female with 6% bf.

Mostly, people are lazy.

Thats so true

People think sometimes that to look like you look now your born that way or something

You dont need to workout, theres no fat on you !!! Why do you want to get bigger your already big !!

Why do girls say to you, dont put anymore muscle on its going to ruin how you look now, then they see a bigger guy on tv or something and say, oh wow look at him, yummy, why cant you look like that? !!



Most people try and talk themselves big and lean.
