Why do people ask this? Isn't it obvious. Lift weights, eat right, and a little of this and a little of that, over a long peroid of time. I mean do they expect me do explain everything I do or reveal some magic secret or something? Just had to guys at the gym yesterday ask me this and then proceeded to watch me work out. Just bugged me a little. and got me thinking. :rolleyes:
 
Last year i got asked that a ton!!! but this year sadly since im 20 pounds lighter and fatter i dont get the compliment much :(. Hopefully soon i will be at that stage again :).

I just always tell them gotta do the curls to get big, lmao and they are like curls? and i just say yeah man CURLS!!! they can usually tell im being a smart ass at that point and leave me alone.
 
I'm not big, of course... but as a female, I get it too... lazy people always think there's some secret. Then I tell them what I do and they're all "well I can't do THAT! That's too HARD!" or "I like to eat (insert bad food here) too much". Okay, well... don't complain that you look the way you do and I look the way I do. It's called sacrifice! I don't have extra time to go to the gym. I MAKE time. I don't always love to eat boring, tasteless food but I do it.
 
Some street or gym compliments:
1.-Hey sir... are you an mma fighter
2.-them!!!Hey my friend you have to work more your shoulders!!! (this was yesterday at the movies)
3.-kids at Foot loccker: hey how fast you can run? (thinking about a was a football player)
4.-i show your photos to my boyfriend and he tokd me he used to be like you 3 years a go and he whants to come train with you!!!....the guy shows in the gym last week and he is 166 pounds and i think is gay, no legs no nothing, and started talking about muscle memory (yeah write...just pay and see what happens in the next 20 years!!!)
5.-45 year woman sitting in the gym office on a consultation telling me that she doesnt want to look like me (very often)

#4 is to funny, I get that to, everybody "used to be big" haha :laugh:
 
I get asked alot if im a fighter (MMA) or something like that, or if I play football or something...I always tell them I just workout for fun and thats it..Then they look confused cause I dont do it for fighting or playing a sport or something...
 
I carry a pen around with me and when they approach me I pull out the pen and ask them who the autograph is for,lol, actualy i always wanted to do that as i have been asked "who you play for" and ofcourse i always said nobody im just a bodybuilder,lol, but i always wanted to lie and name a team and sign my real name to the an autograph, cheesy i know but i got tired of feeling like the idiot after they ask who i play for and always saying no one,lol
 
It's funny you would think we would take it as a compliment but you do start to feel kinda like an ass when being asked all the time and really having no response to give.I used to always get asked who if I was a football player now it's if I'm a fighter and that they know they've seen me fight on tv before...lol.I had a cook at P.F. Chang's come from the back and ask for my autograph he thought I was Tito Ortiz.
 
Its much worst when its a dude... Seriously. There is a major gay factor when somone you dont know out of the blue just blurts something out. Thats why its not comfortable.

last time a chick said something she asked if i was trying to look scary....lol

you should have emphasized the only heavy curls in the only squat rack in the gym is the way to do it!
And they have to swing their entire body for a better pump :rolleyes:
 
^^^ lmao tru that man swing your body enough and you work out your lower back too hahaha.
 
I used to say "I play a lot of tennis" then walk away. Hey Heinz - I was going to say something about the shoulders - JUST KIDDING !!!!! LOL
 
What about when you are wlaking at the supermarket with your Gym t-shirt with Personal Trainer in the back and they ask you if you are a personal trainer after they fallowed you for 30 minutes

Hey dude!!! whats your bench??? jajaja, i never have an answer, i just smile :sick:
