Do you ever feel like a mutant?

[xxsuprman22xx]

do think in this age of obesity, those that are in shape, especially BBers are going to be viewed as 'mutants' a lot more.

really tho....the more i focus on the my own personal health ( maybe goin a bit beyond that ) the more i notice the out of shape people, i feel like im the one who sticks out and thats sad when the fit individuals stick out like a sore thumb in this society

I majored in physics and minored in math and I'm bigger than 90% of the pricks in my gym. They prance around in their little "school of engineering, school of law blah blah blah" shirts boasting that they are smart while probably assuming that the bigger guys are total rocks. But the funny thing is, you know that they would give anything to look like us. haha

I feel you bro I have my MBA and two undergrads but people are amazed when I dont drool out of the side of my face.

I do make it a point to be nice and offer what little advice I can to people that ask questions. I dont mind them watching me workout, i think what gets them is that they have never seen the lifts i do, nobody does cleans, standing presses, squats, deads etc. All they are used to seeing is people on the machines. I do get embarrassed when the girls ask to feel my muscles. The sad part is im not that big especially compared to the people on this board, but in my little world you would think im arnold. lol

My gym is inside the headquarters where I work so to put it nicely I am by far the biggest guy that works out there. When I lift its almost as if everyones watching me, almost like the lion exhibit at the zoo. I dont mind it, actually its pretty cool, the thing that gets me is the pre conceived notion that big guys are dumb. When any of the people actually approcah me or ask for advice they always say your so much nicer than I thought and smarter. Its just funny how quick people are to judge each other.

Go to LA a work a few times. I thought I was big and then I saw what big was. Its great motivation and you also get good training/gear tips.

I feel kinda chubby @ the gym

It's this complex that got me in shape back in the day and has helped me lose 30 or so of my nasty fat lbs I gained while injured lol. So I'll keep calling myself fat b/c it works.

If only it were that easy. I'd just get an ice cream scooper. Pawn the fat. And boom my next cycle's paid for. lol
