   somedays, when im at the gym and theres nobody there but middleaged skinny computer geeks, i feel outta place, they look at me alot, ask me advice and stuff like that. it kinda makes me feel like a novelty, the guy who lifts weights alot, you know that feeling? or when im at the grocery store and buy 6 tubs of cottage cheese, 3 cartons of egg whites, 4 gallons of milk, and 10 cans of canned chicken, i also get that look ,the 'its the muscle guy' type thing...and when you watch t.v., bodybuilder types are a novelty act, right there with the chicks with huge silicone implants...i dunno, just kinda feel like that sometime, and was curious if i was alone IP: Logged |

try being female and buying all that stuff at the grocery...and having people look from your arms to your abs and back to the cart again...or getting a tour of the gym and the sales rep is going on and on about how great their aerobic classes are and how if I have "trouble spots" to work on than this machine will take care of it...and I'm saying...uh, please show me your god damn freeweights...or having most of your friends tell you if you stop lifting eating the way I do, I'll blow up like a balloon. (I've gotten that one more than once) Yes I feel like a novelty...but I like it! ------------------ IP: Logged |

then theres the people who basically sum up all of your efforts to 'well if you ever stop working out, youre going to get flabby, cuz muscle turns to fat' or 'i'd work out, but i dont want to get too big' but i think everyone would agree, by far the worst is 'how much do you bench?' i just lie, oh im puttin up about 135, something like that...then theres this skinny assed punk who works with me, he works out, but hes like 6 foot maybe 130 pounds, hes always trying to tell me how to diet and exercise, i guess he feels the need to regurgitate all the useless shit he reads in muscle and fitness magazine IP: Logged |

My favorite is when women come up to me and ask, "Which machines are good?" or "Could you show me what that is for?" (pointing to a flat bench) and I'm thinking, "Great, a chance to educate a female!" you know, trying to rid the world of ignorance. And they Fucking blow it by saying, "But I don't want to get too big, you know, look like a guy or anything?" - What kind of a fucking insult is that?! I say (sometimes if I'm in a feisty mood), "DO I LOOK LIKE A GUY?" IP: Logged |

BMOM, That is my most hated from a girl. "I don't want to get like to BB girls in those Mags." I just want to slap the shit out of them then, but I know they are just "gym dumb", so I hold back. IP: Logged |

The only thing I hate more than the "gym dumb women" who make the "I don't want to get too big, though" comments are the fucking idiot retard bastards who think they know jack about shit beccause they can curl a 20# dumbbell coming up to me and saying, "Oh, but you've lost your cuts!" YOU FUCKING MORONS!!!! I AM NOT FAT (Well, maybe not too fat Oh it ain't necessary to bulk to gain mass? Yea - that's why you doin' bicep curls with girly-ass weight! Oh, but you're not as young and strong as you used to be and you're not like those "loser guys who juice"? WELL YOU FUCKING PENCIL-DICKED IDIOT - YOU ARE NOT THAT MUCH OLDER THAN ME, YOU HAVEN'T BIRTHED A SINGLE CHILD, AND I HAVE ZERO - THAT'S RIGHT - ZERO TESTOSTERONE!!! ....Really I don't. I feel so much better now - off to the gym for more "fun with the pencil-dicked idiots and flabby-cottage cheese chicks who ask day after day after day, "What do you eat? Oh really - I couldn't live without ice cream and chocolate for 12 weeks!" "How much cardio should I do?" "How come I never see you take aerobics classes?" Then blatantly ignore the what you tell them. IP: Logged |

wow, now that you mention it I guess so. I have that bigarexia thing go'n on so when people say stuff to me I dont really listen, I just think to myself "why are you asking me, Im small". But I get the same questions and shit. As a matter of fact, a trainer at my gym asked when I was gonna compete. I just laughed. IP: Logged |

bikinimom, good thing youre heading to the gym, cuz you got some emotions to let out lady =) didnt mean to get you all riled up...but you owe me one, cuz the best workouts come from high amounts of tension, then after its like an orgasm of your soul, you release all that built up stress thats inside you through an hour of zen-like, mind clearing meditation via steel plates...thats why i work out, it is my outlet, while the majority of this nations adults either do it through mind numbing television, drugs, alchohol, sex, food, careers and or any other escape from themselves, we choose weight training, and then are judged and labeled by doing so...what about the man who neglects his morals, family, etc by selling his soul to the corporate world to surround himself with nice things, his mercedes, his house, his armani suits...in this society, we are taught at a young age to be like him, i say fuck him...god i shouldnt have watched fight club 3 times, i think its getting to me...lol IP: Logged |

Are you on Muscletech or something? Do you shave your chest? What can I do to TONE UP? And -- excuse me while I vent -- More than anything in life, I hate people who stand on the treadmill and stretch for 20 minutes so that they can be loose for their 10 minute 3.0mph walk. No, check that, I hate people that look at MY treadmill readouts while I am running my ass off and adjust their speeds so that they are going faster, even if they can only hold that pace for 90 seconds. No, check that, I REALLY REALLY HATE PIGFUCKERS WHO LOOK AT ME BENCHING AND THEN ADD EXTRA WEIGHT TO THEIR BAR SO THAT EVERYONE WILL SEE THEIR BAR HAS MORE AND THEN BOUNCE THREE REPS OFF OF THEIR SOON TO BE CONCAVE CHESTS AND HIGH FIVE THEIR MOTHER-FUCKING LIFTING PARTNER. FORM IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!WHY CAN'T PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IF THEY DO THINGS THE PROPER WAY THEY WILL MAKE BETTER GAINS IN THE LONG RUN. WHAT THE FUCK GOOD DOES IT DO TO ADD EXTRA WEIGHT TO A CURL BAR AND HANG-CLILNG THE MOTHER FUCKER... Sorry, I am having a bad day... Cheers Puc IP: Logged |

To those that I've offended with my excessive use of profanity ... I say ....FUCK YOU! J/K I know, I know - my hubby is on me all the time about my truck-driver mouth. I should clean it up. But (Here comes the excuse) I'm surrounded by children (scary part is that THEY ARE ALL MINE! LOL) and I have to be in constant control of my every thought, action and word. Add diet to this and BLAMO!!!! Instead of the otherwise mild mannered Bikinimom (HA!) you get PSYCHOMOMFROMHELL!!!!!!!!!!!! Run for your lives!!!!!!!!!!!! And don't EVER PISS ME OFF BY LEAVING YOUR PLATES ON THE FUCKING EQUIPMENT OR ME AND MY LITTLE CHICKEN AND FREAKING EGG WHITE, OATMEAL AND ROMAINE LETTUCE-EATING CHUBBY NOW, BUT WATCH ME SHRED AND KICK YO BUTT SELF ARE GONNA TEACH YOU SOME MANNERS!!!!

Easton, brotha - you have no idea! Seriously, I do have a lot of frustration but it's not coming from the sources that you all think. Sorry, nothing glamorous - I got into a fight with my sis and now we are not talking (about a week) and I'm distraught. I know we'll work it out, eventually - but it just sucks!!! IP: Logged |

I HAVE BULKED UP A BIT (17-18%bf - yea, I'M A BIG-ASSED-CHEEZY-TUB-OF-LARD - YOU COULD SURELY MISTAKE ME FOR A JENNY-CRAIG DROP-OUT! - ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M DOING PULL-UP DROP SETS WITH 20# DANGLING BETWEEN MY FREAKING LEGS - MAYBE SUPERSET SET SOME PULL-DOWNS IN BETWEEN PERHAPS? - JUST FOR STARTERS?- I realize this may not be much for you brothas but hey, a girl's gotta try!) How the fuck am I gonna grow if I have no bf and the water has been fucking pissed and perspired out of my body?!
