I get a kick out of it.
My entire family + relatives are teachers, lawyers, my brother a Doctor and soon to be Professor.
Needless to say most of my relatives see Sport as a direct shortcut to the Almighty and there for have never seen a gym from the inside before nor do any other form of sport.
Most of them also concider Bodybuilders as vain ignorant Steroid abusing strange people who are on top of everthing not to bright to beginn with.

Everytime my mom comes over from germany I make sure to leave a couple of Flex on the TV table and one or tow MD's in the Bedroom ;D.
Sure enough when ever we (my GF and myself) are busy preparing tea or the dinner, she picks up one of the mags and starts having a read.
What follows than is a rundown of all stereotypical remarks people have ever made or heard about bodybuilder ;D.
I just stand in the kitchen and laugh my ass off.

Anybody else feels sometimes like the rock in the surf?

As a teenager (several decades ago), my supplements used to get flushed down the toilet by overzealous family thinking they were roids!

Always remember BB is a sub culture.Not as much now as it use to be.People are just general fools when it comes to understanding BB.

what is truly sad is when 95% of your "normal friends" are carrying excess body fat and then they ask if you working out that much is healthy.
Here comes the money shot

Oh I know, .... that and other obvious reasons made me choose this sport, I never wanted to be normal like all the other "plastic people".
