Holy shit i dont know where to start my rant!
I just had an extremely frustrating and forgetable experience in the gym today.
As some may know im training for my first ever bb contest on june 10th. I've lost 15lbs since i started my diet 8 weeks ago and my bf is down to a decent 7.5% (as of calipers last week). well anyway on to the bullshit:
Im training with a buddy of mine doing bi's and tri's today and one of the head trainers comes over while im curling about halfway thru my workout. Im in the middle of a fuckin set and he says "man you must be on some pretty goodass shit to have those veins poppin out so well"...i was like whatever and didnt say a word. He is extremely anti-steroid and buys into all the media bullshit rhetoric of how AAS, even used moderately will kill you. Then he proceeeds to say that if he was on shit, he would be able to enter a contest as well. Then, i get a huge lecture about how AAS will completely destroy my liver, cause cancer throughout my whole body, and yaddaddyyadyadyadda....h e kept saying "dont go down that road mike, youre too good of guy"......what the fuck is that supposed to mean. Here's a guy who is a full-blown alcoholic tellin me how BAD steroids are for me. then he proceeds to say that people on JUICE dont have to "put in as much effort".....i went off, you gotta be fuckin kiddin me right...i said okay come do cardio with me at 430 am tommorow then. I guess diet has nothing to do with it in his mind either, when we all know that diet is the single most important aspect of competition-level bodybuilding....I WAS SO FUCKIN PISSED....i kept a cool head and tried to laugh it off and finished my workout, but by the time i got home i was ready to explode. Just the fact that he insinuated that i dont have to work as hard as a natural really really pissed me off. He acts like AAS are magic in a bottle, little does he know.
sorry guys this is kind of a useless post but i had to vent a little and im sure some of you on here have experienced a few of these encounters. If you have time, give me some advice as to how to deal with this bullshit, also id be curious to know what your experiences have been with uneducated anti-steroid haters. thanks for reading fellas.
