I suppose the reasons why people make such silly comments range from pure jealousy to just plain ignorance.
Though, often a mixture of both me thinks.

IDK, I got these comments until I started getting bigger.
Now, instead of dolling out unwanted advice people either ask for it or kind of pussy-foot around the topic of lifting.
It was this that made me know that real progress had happened.

Don’t worry, I’d probably be reduced to the same 4-year old in awe as well.

Just took the picture before going shopping for Quark a few blocks away.
Got to the grocery market and a little kid was doing some shopping also. While passing him a few times he was looking at me. And while passing him he turned around and still looked, this also happened while standing in line for the pay desk.
Must get bigger. :P[/quote]

Indeed.
For me: ‘Are you a basketball player?’ Has gradually evolved into ‘Do you play rugby’ into at least an occassional ‘WHOAAAA!!’ LOL.
It’s all good:)
I have a couple:
When I was in high school and started lifting my lower body developed much faster than my upper body since I was focused on squats/deadlifts. This cute girl sees me in a hallway and shouts “Today is ass-grabbing day!” and then grabs my ass and runs away giggling. I was not aware that it was “ass-grabbing day”. One of her friends tried it a few days later, and that’s when I realized “ass-grabbing day” is not a real holiday.
Also, one of my friends from work said that I should be in “The Expendables”. Made my day.

I had that same transition. I’m not that tall (6 ft) but whenever high school sports is brought up, people used to always assume I played basketball (which is correct), but now they assume football .
I get the "why do you want to “gain” weight? Try Insanity so you can get ripped.
so your on that creatine… that explains it. Or you take whey? Be careful with that. Heres my moms input- you wanna be bigger!? how are you gonna get thru the door?
When im not big at all.

“Oohhhhh DARSH!!”
Lol - great screen name…awesome episode.
I’ve been getting the MMA fighter comparison a lot lately. For what it’s worth, I’m by no means big and definitely fit more into the athletic/lean looking crowd. What strikes me as odd is that the general public now considers MMA fighters to have great builds when in reality, excusing a few (GSP, Phil Davis, Sean Sherk, etc) the MMA build is nothing spectacular

Nope, I’m not that big. That’s why I need to get bigger. But do you have a picture somewhere? Or perhaps I’m still retarded and can’t find it, I went full retard finding it.[/quote]
I looked too. Guess I’m retarded as well - didn’t see any pics. Wondering why someone would get so butt-hurt over a simple story about a kid looking at a fairly big dude. What’s pompous about that? [/quote]
I’m fairly big… woohoo! lol. Perhaps the butt-hurting is also a good indicator.

Of course he won’t. lol. Those who criticize very rarely do. FWIW, you seem pretty big to me, if you locations of Holland is right, that by itself seems like it would make you even more standout compared to your average joe (I always hear there aren’t many people that lift and look like it in that area, any truth to that?).[/quote]
Thanks! The bodybuilding scene over here is very much alive, only where I grew up there aren’t that many people standing out. Here in Rotterdam there are more people, the last few months my gym has been overwelmed with competing bodybuilders.

It’s the glasses.
I’d be that strong if I took protiens!
Creatine gives you bacne (acne on your back,)
Duche: so what do you curl?
Me: no idea… (trying not to get involved)
Duche: I was on the 17.5s back in my hay day
Duche bags mate: no you weren’t your full of shit.
I walked away very happy
Old man: you want to be careful son, you can bend your bones lifting like that.
Knob: give me a routine
Me: I like bill Starr’s beginner routine (the kid is like 60kg and pretty tall, I’ve seen him in the gym and he can’t bench 30kg)
Knob: I’m not a fucking beginner, I can do 40 sit ups and curl the 12s
Me: why ask for advise if your jot going to take it? You obviously know it all anyway
Oh and I also got told of in the gym today, apparently I squat too deep…
Work Buddy: Hey I just got back into working out, what do you typically eat after a workout?
Me: I like to have a protein shake, along with some sort of high-GI carb like gatorade.
Work Buddy: You take protein? like whey?
Me: Yea why?
Work Buddy: I can’t do that
Me: Why not?
Work Buddy: I tried a protein shake once and almost shit myself
Me: hahahahaha…sorry. Maybe you should try a different brand?
i work at a pizza shop a few days a week delivering pies for a few extra bucks anyhow everyone who works their looks like they have never seen a gym. they constantly say
dude, i don’t want to be all big and bulky, i would rather be small and fast
are you on roids
or my favorite the skinny guy who has a little bump on his bi, flexing and showing it to me while holding his shirt up
in response to that i just walk away
not too many dumb comment come my way, but I hear a few thngs worth smiling about…
new gym instructor told me: …“when you leg press so heavy you shouldn’t go that low, you’ll pop your knee caps right off!!..”
A few years ago a new training partner told me not to squat so deep…on the 2nd or 3rd rep of my set he said…“I used to squat low, it gave me bleeding piles!!!”…I nearly crapped myself trying not to laugh!!
…on an NZ bodybuilding forum some character re-counted how he was arrested at a drink/drive traffic road block because the cops thought his zip-lock bag of creatine they found in his training bag was cocaine…
…an ex-training partner got himself chased out of his family X-mas dinner last year…because, that morning/lunch he’d eaten a whole box (12!) of his favourite protein bars his daughter had given him as a X-mas gift…he couldn’t stop farting & he was ruining the aroma of the Xmas dinner for everybody!!
Your shoulders are too broad for your face.
What the fuck! It was my mother who said it so didn’t laugh too hard!
Probably old news but somehow feels appropriate.
I learned one thing today, never give lifting advice to idiots…at least not for free. This guy is your typical gym rat, about 6’1 very lean (read fragile) trains only biceps + chest, and his sidekick fat joe. For some reason these guys always have a side kick who is weaker and out of shape, usually he is just there to “spot” them in the last “grueling” reps of 1/4 motion bench press with weight they should never be deadlifting let alone benching.
He saw me doing deads and asked me for to show him how to do it. It took me a good 15 mins but I finally managed to show him somewhat of a decent form. He worked up to a tough 225. He asked for number (yea he chopped me lol) and said he wants to do it again. Flashforward one month later and here he is in the gym. Apparently he’s been busy studying, I assumed for school, but turns out the guy wants to be a personal trainer LOL. He said he hurt his back with our deadlifts last time and that he wanted to go heavy to keep up with the weight I was lifting. Then he said he hurt his knee squatting before that. I asked him how did this happen ?? he was squatting 385 (!!!). I told him to show me how and of course I get the typical 1/16 ROM squat LOL.
I just turned back and put back my headphones.
Well being in high school I hear stupid shit all the time but here are a couple:
“Why are you so big? Are you on steroids?” Guess working out combined with a good diet and proper supplementation no longer exists and steroids are the only probable answer to being muscular…
“What’s up meat head?” Totally inappropriate derogatory remark considering I’m 17th in my class…
