You Know You're a BBer When:

Training Bodybuilding
21

When the waitress or bartender leaves two pitchers of water infront of you as soon as you order.

When you know all the good food specials in your town, and you are extremely prompt in showing up to get them. I.e. Two for One Gyro day at the greek place, half price burgers at the local bar, and all you can eat fajitas at don pablo’s.

When you can calculate volume or 1RM without thought, but you can’t do simple calculations as in miles per gallon, the waiters tip, or how much formula your kid needs.

When local children refer to you as the land monster, the freak or the wall.

When these phrases make you happily smile.

When your girlfriend needs to put a pillow on you to lay on you, because you’re too hard to be comfortable. (I’m guilty of this one) =)

22

When you can only go to holiday destinations that have a gym.

When you ask the guy in the seafood shop for the packaging the seafood sticks came in so you can see the P/C/F ratio.

You take tins of tuna to the beach.

23

When you get pissed off if you accidently lose weight

24

When you eat a meal BEFORE you go out for a meal.

When you take your protein shaker to a party (and then you leave early to get your sleep cos you’re training the next day).

When your workout sessions are the first thing you put in your new appts diary.

When buying liquid egg whites doesn’t seem strange to you, but apparently is to all of your friends and family!

When you actually get praise for posting your pics on T-Nation.

When you are female and men want to have your body - and not in a sexual way.

Or when you joke about it…and then try when no one’s looking anyway.

When reading this post makes you so hungry that you immediately go out and get a gyro (or two)

When people think you are a coke head because you have white powder all over your face from eating dry vanilla protein powder.

That’s definately my favorite one. I don’t know if anyone else is affected as much but I have crazy, vivid dreams several times a week and it’s pretty awesome.

When you can count by 45’s.

I like that one, haha.

The aforementioned bit about wanting to violently attack anyone who doesn’t understand creatine isn’t a steroid really sucks because after trying to explain what ATP is for the 12th time everyone thinks you’ve got roid rage

When your girl asks “How big do you want to get?” and you reply, “The real question is how big CAN I get.”
