How do you handle - "what are you on"

[gambit100]

this question kills me.

I usually ask what they are working today, yesterday and tomorrow. Usually its bench today,curls tommorrow, repeat. I try to tell them in order to really grow you should do deadlifts and squats. It never fails that they reply that squats are bad for the knees and deadlifts are bad for the back. I laugh and wish them luck.

I tell them Im juiced the hilt and I love it. Im not kidding. I work in a office enviroment and I dont care what people think. the funny thing is the woman of the office always comment on how nice my body looks as most are well.. good sized... I work for a computer dept.

It depends on the situation. If a person is genuine and usually you can tell. I would take it as a compliment that I'm doing something right.

If a person is being a smartass about it, go into withe mindset that you are not going to win educating this person and he is out to get a good laugh by insulting you. My tactic would be to act a smartass in return. Usually the people who have asked me this question in the past and I knew they were being an ass. I'd say something to the effect of "I've been working in the cotton field pulling plows".

At the end of the day, I evaluate my reasons for doing anything. Is it to please myself or other people? If I'm happy, I could care less what other people think. I apply this principle to everything short of punching someone in face or something that affects other people directly.

Depends on who's asking, where they're asking and the manner that the question is being asked. Are you being asked by a serious hard training gym member or a drunk a** clown at a bar? If it's a drunk I say Thanks for the compliment but if I told you I'd have to kill you and the ladies over they seem quite fond of you. You usually get a laugh and diffuse the situation. If it's at the gym and it's a teenager I explain that most things are genetic and you'll never know what you're capable of until you're put a few good hard years in and tell them I never touched anything until I was 25. I'd tell them the truth: drugs help but they're not the answer and the guys taking the most insane amounts are trying to make up for bad genetics/personal insecurities. Every gym has the resident "juice rat": the guy that never competes, trains really sloppy with horrible form while screaming his ass off for attention, suffers from I.L.S.( imaginary lat syndrome), has an I.Q less than his shoe size,tomato red from the unchecked blood pressure, has the 40 lbs pounds of potatoes in a 20 lb bag wardrobe, the "flamingo " body: huge upper body with the legs that look like the guy had polio as a kid. You ask these kids do you really want to be "that guy"? They usually laugh and say no!

I saw a guy the other day at the gym and when I walked by him to say Hi he was like DAMN man, wow you gained some size since last fall, what the hell are you on ?, I told him the truth, mdrol and epistane, then he asked " are those otc"? "Yes they are I said and they work damn well dont they? "

Thor.. who gave you permission to use a pic of my ass as yr avatar?

 

[supergirl!!]

I just tell them, come to the gym with me, eat what I eat and you'll grow up big and tall like me.. They usually shut up abt it.. Second thing I get crap about is eating so much.. lol Ya just can't win sometimes....

yeah, as soon as I mention the word gym, and 'hard work' (which it is, gear or not) to a 'normal boring' unfit person their eyes start rolling to the back of their heads, like I have just started talking Russian. It seem they all hope for some sort of quick fix answer like "oh I owe it to the abdominator .. y'know that machine on the shoppingchannel"... (the one they bought last month, they now use to dry their laundry)

 

[forcedreps13]

If I get asked , I tell them that I was "on" their mom a few minutes ago

How do you handle...

Wear wrinkled very loose clothes. Weird thing is, its easier to be thought a fat slob than a bodybuilder in some places

 

[BigMatt]

we've got scumbag motherfuckers throwing babies out of the windows of moving cars, the cops are more interested in a gym rat with bigger muscles than the average guy above these kinds of atrocities?

Damn right and its nonsense...

Its all bullshit if you ask me

 

[Trenman]

I have a scary looking face, not ugly, just that I tend to burn holes in steel by looking at it. So people are afraid to ask. There has only been two who have asked me and they were both juicers themselves, so I answered honestly. But if the average person asked, I would answer "I'm on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". Maybe that will make them think before they get judgmental.

 

[thedonker]

I always use a classic like this, oh I've been using that gaspari superpump 250 pre workout for years now, its better than anything illegal.

 

[notsobig32]

Personally i use, "NO-Xplode is great stuff. i have never felt this big or lean before."

 

[Trenman]

I guess when asked what one is on, you could always say you just got back from living in a free country. I wonder what response you would get. Probably the deer in the headlights look...

 

[olded]

I must be doing something wrong, I get hey are you still lifting weights. I'm 52 and I look like this from watching tv every night,no I only do it once in awhile now. Man some people are just dumb. The other one I get is hey you lift and I will normally say no I golf. I don't get to many asking if I'm taking something and if they ask I will say no that stuff is bad for you.

 

[DatBtrue]

Simple way to handle it.

Tell them to "Go fuck themselves!"

...followed by a most-muscular pose.

...turn green.

...run away growling.

Raw steak

Raw steak and pittbull semen. You eat that shit and you'll grow into some kind of monster. now get out of my face before I rip your throat out with my teeth and gore you with my dick.

That's my reply...if it doesn't freak them out, it freaks me out enough to look like I actually mean what I say.

No, I've never really done that, but I'd really like to!

 

[Designbuilt]

If it's a girl I tell them that I take a lot of vitamins and protein powders, etc then I drink my own semen, but it mostly works for definition.

That's why all the pornstars have such great bodies. Wanna try some of mine?

BTW, it works even better as a suppository, because the nutrients are absorbed much faster into the blood stream.

two words......BADGER MILK!

Are you uncomfortable with the looks and questions regarding personal DVD use? I'm starting to get looks and questions and it's no fun. I'm a 45 year old married father who works in an office. I love the way I look and feel, but I don't want people to think I'm watching DVDs. I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.

I hear you man! and well spoken.....I just stay covered up and say its all creatine and protein powder...Even at the gym come contest time i stay covered. If people want to look at me.... they can buy a ticket and go to the show.. or become a PM member..

 

[chris250]

No one even thinks that I lift, so I dont worry about it !!!
