[mogulgangi]

"son, rru on steroids...steroids are bad...ur head is growing....ur gonna have a roid rage and kill someone"

[kyomu]

If they say you are too big, you simply say thanx,period.

[Mr Nobody]

If you think are big you are = Bob Chick's way of speaking

this thread is worthless with out pics or stats....... saying as half the people on here barely look as tho they train let alone look big,,,,,,,,,, 180lbs looks big, for fucks sake!!!!!, id kill me self if i ever weighed as little.

[Bobby]

Are we talking about your Mommy and Daddy or your wife over here??? Just trying to decide if you're a kid living at home, or a husband with a wife who thinks you're on the juice?

Clear this up RIGHT NOW.

it was a family gathering though guy

Maybe they meant that you are too big as in too FAT?! Years ago when I used to over bulk my parents would tell me that I was too big. In reality i was just too fat!  Now When I bulk i just go over 10-15 pounds thats it.

they would think you are too big too, even when lean. and i said i can still see abs.

It's the the whole swole trap,delt,chest area that puts most off

Mofo you are right. If you have any degree of musculature or are in shape, it ellicits jealousy, because most Americans are fat, lazy slobs, in which discipline is 4 letter word. Most of our inventions were made to make our lives more easier, thus making us lazier. The worst and best invention of mankind is the remote control.

YUP. Like i said before bodybuilding causes alot of jealousy and shit-talking from people who dont workout. Especially if your out somewhere. I was at a local bar, last year sometime, and this guy sitting next to me at the bar, was like "you look like you workout.......you probably think your all tough and a man because you lift weights, i tear down and build decks 12 hrs a day" and while hes saying that, hes got food hanging from the corner of his mouth and flying out while hes talking. Another time, i was at a bar my buddy was a bartender at, one of the "regulars" i got to know through my buddy who worked there were talking one day, just bullshitting.....he made a comment, "Dont go around thinking your tough and can beat anyones ass just because you lift weights, i know a few guys that do MMA fighting thatll beat your ass.LOL At the same bar, differant day, another guy who worked there, was eyeballing up and down, sizing me up, and looked at me and smirked and said "man, ill have you on the ground soo fast, you wouldnt know what hit you". Lol. My point is being in shape or being big from working out and being out in public, youll get people, mostly guys, just like the ones i mentioned who say shit just make them feel better about themselves.

[Julio Ceasar]

If people think u/someone else are to big, in almost 99% of the cases the person is bulked up and fat and look like shit when the clothes come of. No one can be to big when they are in shape accept some guys with superior genetics like Coleman Cutler and the guys. U can win a national contest and still look "normal" in a regular shirt. But bulking up and try look as big as possible is only stupid.

Every time I attend a bodybuilding contest I see these guys in the audience trying to look as big as possible and then u can see the local champion walking around like a normal person, just a little bit bigger. I guess its the same phenomena with fighter guys, kids running around in town trying to start fights to get some attention and respect.

Why the hell bulking up anyway, have never understood the meaning of it if your not into powerlifting or sumowrestling. Isen't bodybuilding all about having a well built, nice symmetrical and attractive body with a nice gentleman approach. Hmm, I guess Im stuck into the 80ies...

I guess being a monster and a freak is the ideal today...

"you probably think your all tough and a man because you lift weights"

exactly what 99,99% of people think of wieght lifters, wether they are posers or low profile individuals.

I even happen to think thar about some weights lifters myself so.. Fact is people always compare themselves to each others, and if one has muscles and/or looks it doesnt mean he "has it all". This is true. Hapiness is not linked to how muscular or good you look. These peopel as out of shape as they are know it and they re right.

Most people also think that sporting muscles = trying to compensate for physical and psychological shortcomings, and again when i see people showing off constantly wether they re really muscular or not, trying to impress everyone with their lifts etc especially in the gyms which are filled with sad delusional and uterly vain people, i mean of course they trying to compensate for some reasons.

always funny how out of shape people are never being questioned but when you live a healthy life and train with weights its nothing but negativity and should you explain yourself.

agree that if you make fun of a fat person you re "bad" .but to be honest its been a long time i simply decided to subtly make fun of em openly without caring about being politically corect and pointing at the fact that i know they re insecure about their bodyweight/appearence;  when you crush em from the begining they re all nice and sweet to you afterwards.

you lift weights too right? so what are you "compensating" for?

[uberman09]

you lift weights too right? so what are you "compensating" for?

i  had some shity reasons when a teen (family problems, living in shity suburbs with the lowest social class) that deeply motivated me to lift weights to insure my own survival first and  then as a relief to global anxiety , but im not stupid enough to expose them in details  here. I could have been playing soccer basketball or something else instead.

The most interesting thing is that once i got away from these shity environments and improved my quality of life, i didnt need to overcompensate anymore and found less interest in "getting bigger and bigger" with no end in sight. I found other ways, more fulfiling and interesting stuff to do instead. Everything's relative.

Lifting weights and getting muscular or "big" whatever you call it isnt an answer to everything, it's only a very small part of life. And it can be either good or bad wether you re being balanced or too extremistic in the way your practice it.

Those who focus mainly on "getting bigger" have issues they didnt solve, and that keep alterating in an extremistic way how they practice their hobby.

When your natural, the health look is the only option lol.

You can be natural and unhealthy you stupid prick, do you ever stop saying stupid stuff.

lol shut the fuck up cun t. I mean you can only aim for the health look without drugs, as it is impossible to get big by Flex magazine standards.
If i lost about 10lbs of fat i would have the health look, my arms were atleast as lean and big as the underwear model pictures on the first page yet i got ridiculed on these forums. Torso is about the same level aswell.
 

[uberman09]

there are fat or skinny "naturals" who think they re healthy and who drink beer and have shity eating habits...but just because they suscribed to a gym last month and wear a tapout tshirt think they re the shit.

Just because you lift weights and DONT take steroids doesnt mean you re "healthier/holier" than anyone  shitstain.



And dont call someone who's older and bigger than you a #### when yourself are a 15 y/o with only a vein on his bicep to show off.

I bet you also got a few, "do you work out or do any sports"? And, "you're pretty big, my 17 year old cousin is a bodybuilder too, he's a bit bigger and wider but he uses creatine".

very very good post, i agree with everything you say. specially naturals in shape will never look big in clothes....unless they have a huge frame and are very tall.
