Parents: "You're too big!!!"

[The Squadfather]

    She told me you were a minute man.

i can't fucck for anywhere near that long.

[Croatch]

No such thing as too big.  If you go around lying to your parents and other about your drug use, that must be odd.  It would make me feel like a douchebag.  Luckily, I don't have that problem.

[chaos]

I am pretty sure they only freak out because of your bodyfat

my mom only find me ugly when I got really fat once, she told me I was too big

now I am bigger and leaner and she finds me sexy  

:-\this disturbs me a little, anyone else

[realkarateblackbelt]

It's giving me a raging semi-

 HAHAHA  I'm the greatest lover in the world....I cum every time.

Dude, seriously, do you do anything other than post here? Does Ron pay you?

Ron pays me.

Each week he gives me a list of people he wants me to rip on, so he can appear to remain impartial all while people he doesn't like are getting trashed.

You get the gay ones

I admitted to carrying 13-14% bodyfat. That not their main issue. It's the muscles: arms, shoulders, etc... those aint fat! They want me to stop lifting and lose the muscle... got it?

If I had 4% bodyfat, they would still be complaining...

14% bodyfat isnt bad at all...  I measured myself at 15.6% today after bulking for 7 months and I still got a visible 6 pack.

[chainsaw]

Tell them that if that is all that they can complain about, that they should be incredibly thankful.

And that you are thankful that that is all they can complain about too.

 If you have a visible six pack no way are you 15.6 %

[Hugo Chavez]

I think you should immediately quit bodybuilding, start smoking and eating mcdonalds 24/7, get drunk every night, sit on your ass and get no exercise, and see if they're happier with you that way.

I nominate this as your best post ever... Now who are you and what have you done with Goatboy

[Stavios]

it is possible if he has VERY thick abs

[smaul]

it is possible if he has VERY thick abs

Would that be a bad thing?  Can a natural get abs that are too thick?

[Stavios]

Would that be a bad thing?  Can a natural get abs that are too thick?

that's not a bad thing at all
some people have naturally thick abs, I think it looks great

a friend of mine is really fat and we can still see his abs
mine are very thin so if I add bodyfat it doesn't take long to hide them

[rccs]

My parents did the same. Questioned me on roids.  I just told them to pay for a test and I will take it.  That shut them up.

My girl/now Ex as of 2 days ago, said I had a peahead one day after we went to the gym.  Said when I am pumped up my head looks small so I should slow down the lifting.  Now she's my Ex.  Can't give me support, can't be with me.
Miss the cooking though, she was Itilian.

You miss her a lot huh? Well the worst problem is not the parents, are the girfriends or wifes. They can really help a man to "build" a life or thwy can help to "destroy" that life. I think that the main problem is that some women feel jelous about bbing, because they think that they are not the priority anymore. Some other women just don't like other women looking at their boyfriends physic. And finally there are women that really don't like big guys at all, and that is just a pain in the fucking ass, especially when you are no more a teenager and your life is heading to the crucial "no coming back" path... it pisses me the fuck off...

Tell them not to worry, you'll stop when you get to something like this:

[msbarbelle]

I am sure many dudes have had something similar happen with their parents. I have just come home for the first time in over a year. The last time I was here, I was 210 pounds, and my parents thought I was too big. This time around, I weigh 240 and they are going ballistic.
...

tell them to get off your ass of they won't see you again for at least ANOTHER year.
'tis the season, enjoy it.

That would be the extreme, but if you can explain the healthy side of bodybuilding, without drugs, things might change.  I had the same problem years ago.  My mother asked why I don't eat bread or allot of saturated fats and when I explained the healthful things that being in shape do for you like lowering blood pressure, cholesterol  and just keeping you looking younger and healthier did the trick.  The drugs, which I don't use anymore, weren't an issue.  I would make sure I would save a cheat meal for when I went to visit mom and she would see I can also eat like a "normal" person, it was OK.  That and the fact my 3 brothers are all out of shape kept the peace.  It wasn't long before she began to ask If I could help any of my brothers loose weight.  It's always about loosing weight

[Swedish Viking]

My dad did that too.  He offered me money, trips, literally anything I wanted to stop lifting weights and lose muscle. I was like 255lbs at the time, probably like 18-20%.  I hate to say it, but he was exhibiting very stereo typical Swedish narrow, hate anything outside of the box, thinking.  At first I hated the harassment, but after a while I really started to love it; especially loved denying him by going and lifting again and again.  'It' created a huge rift between us, but in truth, HE created that rift and paid for it in full by f'ing up his relationship with his son for several years because of almost CONSTANT harassment and very hurtful remarks.  Stick to it.  Your parents are exhibiting, imo, some of the worst possible behavior imaginable, especially if you are clean and just doing this because you love doing it.

Nonstop questions about whether I am using steroids, endless lectures telling me to slim down and lose the muscle, my arms chest legs and shoulders are too big, how bbing is ruining my physique, how i look disproportionate etc etc...

Now I am carrying around about 14% bodyfat, and I plan on going down to 8-10 in the new year, and I agree with them when they say I oughtta bring that down. It's their anti-bbing stance that annoys me. My mom thinks brad pitt is very muscular, and that all guys should aspire to have that kind of physique. She can't seem to understand that I love lifting heavy weights, and love bodybuilding, and want to compete in the sport when the time is right...

So this thread is where you guys can give me advice on how to deal with the folks and support if you wish, or share similar experiences you may have had...

Punch your bitch mother in the face.


Doesn't she know you're "columbusdude82" weighing in at 240lbs soon to be 8% bf?!

[luv2build]

you are an adult right?  Act like one...tell them its not any of their business. 

[The Luke]

My mom started all this bullshit once I went over 160 lbs (I'm only 5'4'')...

I told her I'd just train for fitness and slim down.

Now I'm 215 lbs and she wants me to get down to 200 ish.
