I have a cousin who is always going on about what she’s currently doing to get in shape. Now I love my cousin dearly, but her physique never seems to change, and I can see her make all the ‘wrong’ choices when our families have holiday meals together. She also famously sat at the table with me (2x Natural Pro Bodybuilder), my wife (Natural figure competitor), and my youngest brother (Natural Pro and DPT, CSCS), and argue about how we need to not eat so many pickles because all the salt they contain makes them fattening… What the hell is there to say really? So I always hit her with the “How’s that working out?” line.

If I ever challenge a bunch of natty competing bodybuilders on nutrition I am gonna go play in traffic.
However, and I dont know if there is an English equivalent to this, the prophet counts for nothing in his own town.
Every morning, I had to hear from him (we’d usually get to work at the same time) about how he had gotten up early, ran x many miles, did 5000 pushups, or whatever the hell he had done. All I ever said in reply was along the lines of “wow, that’s really impressive. I know that I couldn’t do that. You’re definitely a great source of inspiration to a lot of people at this school.”
I figured that was the best way to handle things.

Eh I imagine it’s like being a mechanic. Once in a while you get to work on a Ferrari, but most of the time you’re working on beat ass Hondas…[/quote]
Now I can’t get the image of Powerpuff in coveralls opening the hood of a Ferrari out of my head…[/quote]
I have a feeling we are thinking about this from a completely different point of reference. I have a female friend who is a urologist and I have never once thought, “Wow, that would be a cool job.”
As for me working on anybody’s car, all the female stereotypes apply.
