The Downside of Being Jacked

I get it from time to time …

I was buying groceries for the week this weekend and this older lady behind me commented on how I “must eat healthy” - So I says to her, I says: “This here is for my wife and son, I only eat fish tacos”

I heard what you just said, whether you said it or not.

And don’t you mean “leer”, and not “wink”?

Nope … completely dead pan, straight faced. The lady looked … confused but gave an awkward kind of laugh…

It seems that the only things that aren’t embraced and accepted are the good things. Post a picture of a fit person and you’re fat shaming people. Talk about God and it’s outrageous. Talk about a good ol fashioned long term marriage between a man and a woman and you’re a bigot.

We live in bizarro world.

There’s even cross contamination. I listen to a Christian radio station and they run an ad that says “The picture on the magazine tells you to be ashamed about the way you look. God loves you just the way you are.”

I don’t und understand how a photo can shame you. I agree that God loves you just the way you are, but He wants us to treat our bodies like temples, not garbage disposals.

God may love us just the way we are, but he is NOT celiac friendly.

That’s funny…
You may partake of the body of Christ, but only if your body can tolerate it.

I mean, if that’s not predestination, I don’t know what is.

Especially the part where it states GMO wine/wafers are 100% acceptable. Splendid.

Another prime example that humans can mess up anything. Communion has a very specific purpose. If you start fretting over what’s in your symbolic body of Christ then you’re probably missing the point.

And who experiences an adverse reaction to 5 grams of food? It’s not like we’re talking about peanuts or bee stings.

In fairness, Catholicism espouses the belief of transubstantiation, so it’s not supposed to be symbolic.

But in DOUBLE fairness, if you can transubstantiate, surely you could make it gluten free while you’re at it.

I’ve always pronounced it “glutton free”. I think the vast majority of people who “can’t eat gluten” are just finding a scapegoat for bad eating habits.

I need the glutton free option - a product that helps me stop eating when I’ve eaten enough for my needs.

Speaking of this topic, I never stop and ask questions to random jacked people but today at Whole Foods there was this guy that looked to be in his 60s that was just jacked as fuck. He was in the meat section like me and his traps were up to his ears it seemed.

I jokingly said “Man you gotta stop deadlifting otherwise your back is going to get too big” and we both shared a laugh. We had a cool conversation. Found out he’s never competed and he started lifting seriously at 37 and is 61 now. His main lifts are deadlifts (it was obvious lol), front squats and DB shoulder presses and pull-ups.

Just goes to show, you can get jacked at any age!

But funny thing he said is he gets embarrassed when he’s around friends or family because he’s the only one thats in his 60s that’s jacked. All his other friends are either out of shape or have runner bodies lol.

Hahaha, I know we shared a good laugh. I always have random people that meet me sarcastically say “Looks like you don’t hit the gym” lol. I’ve heard it so many times now, that I just finish the sentence for them haha
