The "built like you" comments

[The Dude]

Does this drive anyone else crazy??!! I hear this shit all the time by people saying that they used to look like me or they know someone bigger than me etc..... I get so close to saying "I'm 5'9 and nearly 250lbs lean, do you know how much testosterone and other bodybuilding drugs I take?? Do you have any idea how much I spend on food and supplements??!!" "Bullshit!" I've never heard it while in a tank top or on the beach. You guys get this??

Everyone knows someone or has had a friend who...yada yada yada.

Fuck them. I give props to people who are bigger than me or whom I think has a good build. But when people approach you because you are big just to say they have a friend who or they used to, I just say bullshit.

Honestly its just about trying to make that person talking feel better about why they are a piece of shit.

Its insecurity....although I am entertained when someone old says "at Your age I was built like You"....I think the old guys are the only ones i don't get mad at

yes this dose get old...I dont think people relize how big a person is until that person (that they know who they think is big) is standing right next to you..Part of it is, because staying leaner and not so bulky (like football lineman) in cloths most people cant tell what is fat and what is actully muscle...

Ive heard it all from my son use to be as big as you... or my bother has a friend from montana that is twice as big as me (as im thinking in my head that he knows someone that is 5-10 and 500lbs of lean mass) LOL !!! People just dont have a clue

I got called Arnold Schwarzenegger last week... granted he was trying to sell me something. LOL! So while it's apparently obvious that I work out, I don't get a ton of idiots approaching me.

I've been called a lot of things, but I gather none of them were compliments.

I heard the best story of all just last week...

This kid approaches our training group and says he just want's to watch but he was a powerlifter, so he wasn't quite ready to make the switch to strongman...

So I say, "well why don't you want to make the switch" (since both are strength based and some similarities"

Kid tells me that he want's to do something big, and by big he means hit 1000. So I say 1000 in powerlifting is respectable (Meaning the total of your Bench Press, Squat and Deadlift MAX...1000 is respectable really only is for like an 18 year old, but anyways I didn't want to be an ass) he looks me dead in the eye and says "1,000 lbs on bench"!!!!

Our whole group literally erupted in laughter right in this guys face, I mean he probably was 6' 220 with a good amount of fat. He then told us he repped 600 on bench already. I told him there might be a few people in the entire WORLD that could do that and he said he was one of them!!!! We just kept laughing in his face, so ridiculous what some people will say.

I have never had one muscular guy tell me he "used to look" like me, but I have had a million fat asses and skinny scrawny never worked out type say this.

exactly!

I was really disappointed how a kid told me yesterday he was huge at 220..... I liked the guy, so i just kept my mouth shut. But i should have said - if you were 220, you where not huge.
