what does your family think about your bodybuilding?

[ASJChaotic]

well, mom and dad are really surprised that I can get my ass out of bed and to the gym
I'm such a lazy person, I see how that is a surprise
as far as food goes, they think I'm gonna have poisoning from eating so much tuna
mom doesn't understand why I don't eat her home cooked meals when I'm supposed to
when I eat a little less for dieting or whatever, they always notice, and point it out and ask me why
LOL

tell us how your family, deals with your bodybuilding
your spouse, girlfriend, even friends

are we talking AAS?

[Man of Steel]

Years ago when I was a kid livin at home and doin nothin but "bodybuilding" my Dad saw me gettin bigger and bigger and said, "son, just know that in our family we have back problems....they will catch up with you like they did me, your grandfather and your uncles."

Two years later I blew out my back.

I'm not a BBer.  I lift weights 4-5 times a week and I don't eat a lot of junk.  Other than that, it doesn't come up.  I'm in better shape that most 32-year olds I meet, and that's about it.

IMO, unless a guy bring it up constantly and can't stop talking about BBing to his friends, it's usually a non-issue.  Some people are in better shape than others, some eat differently than others.  When you see that Pud flexing his arms nonstop or using any excuse to pull up his shirt... well, you never wanna be that D-bag.

No, just creatine, aminos, protein powders, bars, pre-workout intensifiers, vitamins, etc. She just thinks that i is all too much

My first two years of training I was the typical idiot with poor form, but learned the correct way and that's when I got hurt...while using proper form.  Good form or bad form the back was gonna give.

my family has hernias.  Dad, brother, neice... we all get them.  I'm just watching the clock waiting for mine to kick in

[Griffith]

I think my parents and family are just happy that I'm trying my best to live a healthy lifestyle.
I exercise regularly, eat good food, don't do drugs, prefer not to drink (maybe a beer every now and again) and want to look healthy, fit and strong.....I don't think anyone can really fault this.

I also don't go overboard, for instance if I'm visiting my Dad I'll eat whatever he's prepared for dinner or maybe for that weekend. Or if I go eat out I'll just have a nice steak or some fish with vegetables.
But the rest of the time I'm following my own diet.

And if I'm holiday for a few weeks, with family or friends....I'll just train really hard before that, then consider it as some good time to take time off and recover...and come back stronger.

That was definitely one of those "hindsight is 20/20" and "listen to your parents cause they've already been there" lessons I wish I had taken to heart.

what does your WIFE think about it 

[ManBearPig...]

what does your WIFE think about it 

i don't work out.  but she appreciates the home gym setup cuz she can put our sweaters out to air dry.

[danielson]

Working out is good, following pro bodybuilding is gay. There are no exceptions.

[ASJChaotic]

Mum and dad think its stupid a waste of time and retarded and i am destroying my body, damaging my health, and making myself look stupid.

Sisters think i am huge and kinda like knowing they have a big, big brother. Will make fun of me and say im too big take up too much space always in the way jokingly. Wee sister Bronagh will comment when i get bigger she notices.

Both think i eat a ridiculous amount. Though i am not as obsessed or spending as much time at it anymore mum and dad dont like it at all and wish i would do something else.

we should all take up chess and make the family proud goudy
