I’m not saying all the people you guys are complaining about are like this, but cause a couple of posts reminded me of my younger out of shape and condescending sister, as well as my hot but sadly lazy X, I thought I’d throw this up for ya’ll
My mom just out of know where payed for 1 year of my gym membership. Was funny walking into pay my dues and was told it was taken care of for the next year.

My Mom has never told me not to get any bigger… but just over Christmas break… I had got done doing a set of military-presses… and I was looking in the mirror… all excited… and I decided to show my Mom my most-muscular for the first time ever… her response made me want to cry!
“Oh my god… ew… look at you!”
And then she told me how she doesn’t think women like traps.
And then I impaled her with my ez-curl bar and ran out of the house in a screaming fit of rage and collapsed in the middle of the street.

You might want to wash the bar before you use it again.

I think part of the reason that mothers make so many comments is because it kind of hurts to see your kids grow up. On one hand you’re proud of them but then on the other you feel kind of useless.
My husband’s mother is unfit, to say the least, and I’ve been helping raise his younger brother since the kid was nine. We’ve had fulltime custody of him since he was a short, pudgy little 13 year old.
He’s 18 now, he’s grown more than half a foot taller and filled out. He’s a man now and I don’t like it. That’s completely irrational and I realize that, but it’s not a feeling I can really explain.
I’m proud of the adult that he’s become and of the role that I played in that but I do worry about him, and I have to remind myself (often) that he’s not a little kid anymore and I need to respect that he’s old enough to make his own decisions.
I think the moms who make comments really do care, it’s just difficult to see their little boys grow up and become huge, muscular men.
Interesting and well said, can’t say that I agree 100% but I never thought of that side of it before.[/quote]
Heres something else that happened while I was home. Besides my mom giving me a check for groceries, my dad, who is by no means a bodybuilder, but listens enough to me that he has picked up a few things, saw me without my shirt off when we were at the Y playing ball, and told me that I needed some more carbs in me because I was looking flat.
I’m not a big guy, 6’0 and 200, but I’ve just caught word that I’m huge. This is mostly from people who think working out is going to the gym and running on the treadmill for an hour and doing some bicep curls and light benching.
My girl tells me on a weekly basis that I’m getting too big. I recently finished a bulking phase and put on 6kgs. She now says that my upper body is too thick. Hey, it can never be too thick. I was also out drinking a month or so ago and one of her friends told her that she was surprised how big I was.
Apart from my girl, people don’t say I am too big… just huge and strong. Doesn’t make me feel too happy being in a country where the average weight of men at my height is around 160.
