It’s sooooo true! I had this one friend who trained with this guy who had a cousin who knew…
LMAO too!! That was awesome.
always hear the muscle will all turn to fat if I stop lifting. Or the oppostite… “Oh yeah… little johnny over there is going to turn all that fat into muscle. You’ll see.” still waiting for that one.

I know! All this time I thought you got pregnant from sex.
I’ve been told not to lift heavy things because that will mess up my ovaries and uterus and I won’t be able to have children.
Wait…so deadlifting makes you the opposite of pregnant? BRILLIANT! Genius even! :D[/quote]
I didn’t say deadlifting, I just said lifting heavy things. I’m used to being a pack mule when I visit my parents, so at work I tend to be the one lifting heavy stuff.
Though it is odd deadlifts make you pregnant but lifting heavy things makes you incapable of getting pregnant…

Ah, I misread your post. What happens if you do heavy deadlifts? Hmmm…

If you discover that, you may want to apply for the next nobel prize for exercise-mediated spontaneous cell differentiation. Or something fancy like that. haha
I saw a study once that showed that one of the biggest obstacles to people successfully losing weight is friends and family. People have this weird inner compulsion to undermine what you are trying to do. I can remember doing to people in the past, and now I make sure I never do it.
I also get a lot of comments from people at work who want to know how I stay lean when I seem to be eating all the time! (of course I’m having a protein bar or shake while they’re having a couple of donuts…) I do have a lot of people ask me for workout advice, though.
Paul
I get this one at work(pharmacy), all too often:
-That rx copay is too expensive. Is there something I can take, over the counter, to lower my blood sugar instead?
*looks at cart full of hamburger helper, doritos, ramen noodles, spaghetti, cookies, and oatmeal creme pies. Wishes I could say, "Oh, you mean a FUCKING VEGETABLE? yeah, that’s that crazy area in the front of the store that you rolled right by, with tables full of green objects. It’s called “produce”.
^^^^
but instead, thanks to corporate policy and the law, both of whom say we are not dieticians, says, “no, you really just have to watch what you eat.”
to my co-workers, whenever they say shit, “What, when, and how much I eat affects how I look and how I feel. Would you like to know what I think of how you eat and how you look?”
Anyone just look angry all the time so people don’t approach you for comments?

I do that, it doesn’t work. I’m too little though, people seem to think it’s “cute” until I start dropping F bombs and embarassing the shit out of them in public. Then I’m just a crazy bitch.

amen.
haha my mom, dad, sister, fuckin everyone in my family is like that. “dont take weight gainer cuz itll kill you kidneys” you shouldnt squat past parallel. you shouldnt arch yor back like that when you bench. then they say “dont waste your money on supplements they arent worth it, we have plenty of food for you” but then i try and eat all the protein i need for the day and they bitch that i ate all the damn foo din the house and the food bill is running up. oh listen to this one. " you dont need that much protien to get bigger, your dad is big, and he only eats around 60 grams per day. my dad is big, but I do need that protien. "why are you using the PL gear, it HAS to be bad if it cuts up your arms like that. why are you wasting your money on all that gear?? OMG they never stop!!
Im a fat kid but I actually know what im talking about…abnormal I know.I get all kinds of good advice like you dont need to lose weight you look fine and I reply with I dont hate myself… I want to be able to stand in 5 years… ect. People encourage me to eat more if anything most of the time. I hate how people will make excuses for not working out and eating right… well time magazine said I should focus on diet… French fries are my carbs for the day!. I make a concious effort to eat correctly and excise even though I dont have a gym membership available to me atm but will very soon. I dont blame other people for what I eat or choose to spend my day doing.
“Why aren’t I losing weight, I drink like 10 litres of water a day” (says the guy who also eats Maccas 5 times a week)
“I reckon that if I just start eating healthier I can lose all my fat, I don’t need to do exercise”
“Why do you eat all the time? You’ll get fat”
“You do bodybuilding? You must be on steroids”
While taking my fish oil and multi out of my pocket when out for dinner “Don’t to that man, it looks like you having drugs”
“OMG your eating pizza, that will make you fat, I thought you were Mr. Healthy/Food Nazi” ARGGGHHHH
Me: “I eat pizza once a fortnight, not every second day, there is a difference!!”
I dunno, most friends/family have come around to it now, the rest just show how pathetic they are by having a go at you when they don’t do anything about their own decaying bodies.
I’ve been getting advice from alot of “has-beens” lately who haven’t been lifting in the last couple years at LEAST… one guy is ex-military who swears he was 225 @ 5% bodyfat in less than a year, even asked me if something was wrong with me cause I’d been working out and knew so much but wasn’t gigantic. He’s pretty average right now, maybe 220 with no definition or real size indicating he ever did anything.
Another guy I ran into today was telling me how when he started he was curling 50’s, got up to curling 75’s, and how he was doing some sort of sideways curl thing with 120’s… ugh.
Anyways my least favorite comment is, “You know all that excess protein will just turn into fat.” It’s always from a fat dumbass or some hippie who loves carbs.
I just wanna show em my abs and be like, oh yeah, I guess that little spec of fat over there must be from my excess protein intake, I gotta get on that…

I know. Who knew? Next time I’ll put the condom on either end of the bar. That should sort that right out.

Until this very second I thought I knew what a deadlift was.
Apparently I am waaaay off.
I don’t get much advice. I train too hard for anyone to think they know better than me. It’s mostly my mom when she’s like “I don’t like you eating all those powders” and;
Mom: If you were so tired from playing hockey, you should do more running for cardio
Me: My heart rate gets up to 120+ after a set.
Mom: Does it stay high your entire workout.
Me: No, it’s this freak thing where I can spike it for a minute while I take my pulse and then it goes back down to resting. ---- Seriously though, I’m not doing a marathon, it’s intervals, shift by shift. - Running is borderline useless.
My mom’s good to me though, and doesn’t say too much dumb shit. Although she takes a fatty acid supplement as a fat burner, when I catch her eating shit all the time. She’s small and exercises every day, so manages to stay fairly fit. The worst is probably:
Mom: Oh man, those pilates were so intense.
Me: …
Mom: There’s no way you’d be able to keep up.
Me: … ok mom. You want to know what a hard ab workout is? Have you ever picked 400 pounds off the ground? Ok.
Again, it’s not to the matter of it pissing me off (except trying to tell me I wouldn’t be able to do pilates) as much as me going, wait does she actually believe this?
I hate when someone asks me to work out with them and they are much less developed then I am. So then they proceed to try and give me advice. I don’t presume to know everything there is to know, but damn who’s helping who?

I don’t get tons of advice. People don’t like me.[/quote]
This has got to be the funniest thing I have read in a long time.
Thanks I will be over in the free weights laughing hysterically when I do my dead lifts tonight. The guys are going to think I lost my mind! LOL
I had a classic from my Dad recently. In the past year I’ve gained about 12kg - going from around 92kg to 104kg. A large amount of that has been muscle, but there has been a little fat gain as well. He told me that it ‘wasn’t natural’ for me to be this weight. When I asked what exactly he meant, he offered the remarkable insight that if I weren’t eating as much as I do right now then I would lose weight.
Wow, no shit Dad. I asked what he considered to be a ‘natural’ daily caloric intake. The answer? 2500kcal. Why? ‘Because that’s what all those food agencies recommend.’
Despite that, my parents are pretty cool about my eating habits and general lifting lifestyle, so I can’t really complain.
