I've gotten pretty used to it. I have a big build so its obvious I work out a lot. People are also used to how much I eat at this point. It doesn't stop the comments though. It is basically everyday many many times per day. At work, at stores, wherever. People feel inclined to ask me questions who normally wouldn't talk to the person next to them in line at the grocery store. They will look at me and immediately ask "how much do you bench?" "do you play football?" "which team do you play for?" I don't really take too much issue with it but it does get a little old to have people ask you if you use steroids, accuse you of using steroids, or spread rumors that you use steroids. It also gets old when people attribute your dedication to something, like working out a lot, to being a "loser" or "filling up your pathetic life." I've had many people online somehow try to put a negative spin on something that is 100% positive. It's rather odd.

To an extent though, you have to realize that if you are really really into personal fitness then you aren't in the majority therefor you aren't "normal." Especially somebody like myself who weighs twice as much as most people on the planet and eats 5-8k cals per day average. That's just not normal and maybe I am a weirdo for it. But hey, atleast its fun and gives me stuff to talk about with random people. It really is a great ice breaker and has gotten me a LOT of contact with people and life is all about who you know. Hell it got me my current job..

let's see some pics brah!! how do you not get fucking fat eating all those calories...I gotta lot of muscle but i also have lovehandles and dog tits from all the calories i consume...prob the estrogen rebound from pct though

I agree with your opinions though...I've actually heard a girl say that guys who work out a lot are compensating for a small dick...not true in my case...i bring the whole package to the table niggas!!!

Dude, if I knew that I wasn't using juice, but people were accusing me of such, that would be like a huge compliment on my efforts.

^^I would think/feel that way too.

There is monthly cake at my work for anniversaries and birthdays. I don't eat it. I don't eat cake. I see it as having to run 3 miles. I am not fond of running. I get comments like you can afford to eat it and I don't know how you eat all day like that. I work out so I can eat the things I like. I eat things that are important for my health. I would rather eat a roast chicken or pizza than a piece of decadent cake. I asked for fresh fruit for those who don't eat cake months ago. I got this look like I asked for crack. I'll sip my cranberry green tea after lunch while you stuff your head and then complain that you should not have eaten that cake.
