There's so many in this thread that are me or that I do. I didn't realize just how weird my lifestyle must look to someone outside of bodybuilding.

I went to the this neighborhood grocery my Mom shops at because they have boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.49 a pound. When I asked the butcher for 30 pounds he asked if I owned a restaurant. I said, no. Then he asked if I had a big family. Again, I said. no...just me. He paused and looked at me funny like he expected an explanation. So I said, I'm a bodybuilder. He said, Oh, your mom comes in here and told me about you. Thanks Mom.

[Bacon Boy]

When you go grocery shopping and compare the contents of each shopper's cart to the person pushing it....I usually get so grossed out doing this that I don't go anywhere near the junk food isle.

That happened to me yesterday day I have my cart loaded with 10 cartons of omega 3 eggs and like 6 pounds of steak, and then I look over and see the local out of shape whack jobs buying boxes of brownie and cake mix, bacon, a whole fricking tub of lard, and at least four bags of Doritos, and then they look at me like I am crazy!

Nice. I have a 2 year old, and one day he saw me doing deadlifts in the garage. When I finished my set he waddled on in, grabbed a 2.5 pound plate and started deadlifting. He was grunting and everything... brought a tear to my eye.

[Yoshe]

Unless it's Lee Priest at KFC, and then you applaud him for being so fat.

I work at a RubyTuesday in York, PA. The amount of obesity that I see is unreal.

People order steaks, and then want to substitute the green beans for loaded baked potatoes...while they eat their cheddar fries...

Being really into my fitness and overall well being has just changed the way I look at people. For instance, if I see an extremely obese child, it really kills me. I just want to ask the parents what the fuck they think they're doing...

[john koenig]

You're 54 years old and still wake up early 'cause it's leg day...

- 1 bag of ground turkey patties
- 2 flats of tilapia
- bulk container of Ziploc baggies to rebag all the above food for the freezer
- 2.5 lb bag of spinach
- 1 lb bag of frozen blueberries (since its still off-season, these are acceptable carbs)
- bulk container of oatmeal
- bulk container of contact solution (so I can see the weights!)
- 1 pair size 8 jeans for <$25.. since my quads no longer fit in the size 6....

Recently I noticed a funny effect. At the gym in the winter I normally wear Men's large sweatshirts. But when I'm feeling "tight", I go for my size Small t-shirts.. I'm 5'7" w/ D cup.. "small" is "friggen tight".. but my bis bulge out of the sleeves & I LOVE IT....

There is no such thing as breakfast / lunch / dinner .. just feeding time identified by a number 1-6.

when you offer your wife a open relationship before a tren cycle

[Koubs]

when people ask ''are you training for a show soon''?

This one always happens at times when everyone else is eating their garbage food... Since you brought your protein shake, oats, and peanut butter along with you, they ASSUME that you must be getting ready for a show soon.... It's very difficult to explain to them that you live this lifestyle every day of your life, and you won't be competing for about 7-8 months....... (especially to grandparents, like I had to do yesterday at my brother's birthday, lol....)

Then other people add in their opinions asking "Don't you ever want to eat REAL food? Don't you get sick of eating the same thing?" (in my head: No, but I would get sick if i looked in the mirror and saw what you see...)

[55Belair]

[FLEXR6]

I had this happen! I went to the this neighborhood grocery my Mom shops at because they have boneless skinless chicken breast for $1.49 a pound. When I asked the butcher for 30 pounds he asked if I owned a restaurant. I said, no. Then he asked if I had a big family. Again, I said. no...just me. He paused and looked at me funny like he expected an explanation. So I said, I'm a bodybuilder. He said, Oh, your mom comes in here and told me about you. Thanks Mom.
Yep. Similar story......
Went to the local butcher and got 25kg of steak. She asked if I was having a BBQ/party I said "no it's just for me and should last a couple of weeks".
She gave me a strange look as I walked out.

[sassy69]

In the abstract, if someone tells you they did x number of hours of cardio, even for prep, you think "that's friggen nuts", but then you don't think twice about doing it yourself if your trainer gives it to you for your own prep.

You drag ass all day long at work, but once you hit the gym somehow you have energy enough for 10 plate leg presses and an hour of cardio.

You can time your trips to the bathroom relative to your last meal, down to the second. (Ew.) In fact its no longer referred to as a "trip to the bathroom" but rather "blowing up the plumbing".

You dread carb ups, though your body needs them, it also has a terrible time digesting it and you'll be catatonic for at least 3 hrs afterwards.

You can taste the sodium in any food you eat.

A cup of green beans is heaven.

You own a LARGE JUG of Odo-ban cuz nothing else will get the perpetual "gym funk" out of your lifting gloves, wrist wraps, weight belt, etc.
