The question "Do you work out?"

[BigGuns2]

That's like when you fall off of your roof and break every bone in your body. Someone will always ask you "did that hurt?"

 

[NitroCBR]

Same thing when people say while watching a film "did you see
that?" No dickhead, I paid $10 to come to the cinema
and stare at the goddamn floor.

Like Voodoo said above, they want to talk to you about it, and don;t know how to start.

I'm guessing from the tone of this thread that your responses are generally condescending. I'd like th personally thank you for futhering the stupid stereotype that follows bodybuilders around.

How about when you takr your motorcycle over to the gas station and some moron askes you if thats your bike?

"Uh, no. Why do you ask? Are you a cop?"

and for some reason its 'bad' to work out on a regular basis

thats something ive noticed....if you say you work out more thn 1-2 times a day your suddenly too 'hardcore' for the majority of people and it freaks them out

Then they really freak out when they see you eating, say, a chicken breast and plain oatmeal for breakfast instead of the Krispy Kremes everyone else is eating. Or taking a protein shake to a meeting.

<insert Homer Simpson voice> UUUmmmmm, Krispy Kremes....

Or you go out with some cow-orkers after work and either have a Diet Coke or perhaps one Amstel Light while they start pounding beers. Then you pass on the chicken wings.

I try not to make a big deal out of this stuff (just say "hey, I'm on a diet..."), but it does get noticed and remarked on.

LOL

like when ive ordered some food and i ask for water, and i get funny stares

or people look at me funny when i start searching for a glucose drink after training

our diets do border on weird in todays world dont they .


when people ask me to train, i usually asses how serious they are about lifting before i tell em stuff else they might get overwhelmed. i pissed off a friend when i gave him training advice and he didnt like it

 

[bouncer]

Matt just kidding mate, I know you long enough to know when your pissed really.

Matt uncool, and you don't know me, because if you did you would know that im a personal trainer that helps all types of people with their fitness needs. If you need proof, go to the training board, i never see you there much.
