Hardest part about Bodybuilding?

[JKurz1]

Diet is rather difficult.
However, the hardest part about bodybuilding is all of the idiots that get in the way. I am all for everyone and anyone training, but if you dont know what the hell you are doing ask questions or read. It pisses me off when assholes hoard a bench or squat rack curling the bar or talking to all of their buddies.

It's not that "they" don't know what the hell they are doing, it's that they have no gym etique and live by "I'm the only one on this planet"........Personally, I can deal with it, however I can't deal with the dude who have the impression that they have suitcases under their armpits and think they are f-ing gigantic benching 250lbs and weighing in at 300.....

jkurz1,
I would have to agree with the suitcase phenomenon. I have a guy in my gym that i know who carries around a gallon of water with his arms and lats always flaired. It is quite hilarious. Everyone makes fun of him, including me.

Unfortunately my arms stick out some, but thankfully i dont weigh 300lbs and bench 250lbs. I weigh 250lbs and bench 405 (5 reps).

Oh please how hard is it to ignore people....how can you tell me it's easier to make your diet on point than to ignore boneheads in the gym?

The DIET is by FAR the hardest part for me....Training is simple you just go in to the gym and lift weight. But diet KILLS me.....Mostly on the weekends b/c my will power is so small.

I train at a university and i dont know if i can actually count all of the idiots in the gym. I know i can count the guys who are dedicated and know what they are doing. However, it is all the idiots, especially the beach boys (those who only work their beach muscles) who hoard the equipment from others. However, i do have one advantage though. I am one of the biggest guys in the gym and most everyone lets me use any equipment in a relatively timely fashion if i ask to use the equipment. I dont utilize this to my advantage, but it is convienient.

I can't stand the comments I get at work concerning my diet. I usually drink 3 whey shakes per 12 hour work day, and eat every three hours or so, stuff like tuna and boiled eggs (I'm a nurse, I don't have much time to sit down and eat stuff.)

And my coworkers are like (nasal voice) "Why? Whyyyyyyyyyyyy do you drink those diet shakes, but you eat so much? You're never going to lose weight!!!" I've explained to them that I'm not trying to lose weight, and those aren't "diet" shakes, but they are morons.

Sticking to a mundane diet and watching all your friends eat icecream and apple pies.
I think another thing is the attitude of co-workers who aren't so fit... at work all the guys say 'hey muscles' or 'big man'... not in a derogatory way, but because I choose to look different. But then again, why should I care if I am working towards a better me and they don't care what they look like?

Diet, i dont seem to have the time to eat all the food i need, hence my muscles aren't growing very fast.
