those who can't, talk and those who can, just do. what i do i've never shared with anyone coz its no one's business and this world hasn't come to terms with the fact that sticking a pin doesn't make you big. take away all the juice, the guys who're big now will end up big later as well in comparison coz its more about the time you put in the gym, the diet and all rather than just pinning.
performance enhancement culture is everywhere and yet ppl criminalize the edge gained by roids... try starting your day at work without coffee ... i think that is sure as anything performance enhancement.
any ways, least i haven't told bout me to anyone and if someone obviously looks like he is on juice and if someone gets in your face you've gotta put 'em in their place. no matter who they are. tell 'em that world ain't perfect so welcome to the real life and if you have issues then "see ya, nice knowing ya".
that's what i'd do.

I get the your on the juice crap all the time at work and frankly I could care less these lazy fucks are always trying to put you down to justify their mediocrity and jealousy, but wishing they looked like you. The ladies don't seem to mind and that speaks for itself haters are gonna hate that's life, just stay positive and enjoy yourself.

I had something happen this morning that was a little strange.
I was at the gym and was going up the stairs with another guy to the cardio area to ride the bike for 15 mins before my workout. I guess I was taking the stairs a little slow, who knows...but the this guy says to me, "You did legs yesterday?". I said, "no, I will be doing them today". He then replied, "then you got some badass pip going on. I was kind of stunned. I neither confirmed or denied, but did chuckle a bit.

I wouldn't worry about it to much bud. People are going to have their own personal opinions and views. I hear the same comments from my family and co-workers. I just smile and think to myself that I look ten times better then they do. I also know the people making the comments can't and will never have the dedication that we have every single day. Keep doing what your doing and be proud of the commitment you have to your body.

should have said "rather look unnatural than like you!"

eh, id brush it off. drinking more never helped anything, that i recall at least. lol

My son asked me if i was takin steroids....it was the absolute best compliment!!

like the song says "It wasn't me"

yr on a need to know basis and they dont need to know! lets face it, they're gonna talk about ya behind yr back no matter what so may as well make that back as wide and hard as can be ;)

Bro,

I'm such a dick when it comes to this. I live in a warm climate - so it's short sleeves and t-shirts most of the year. Friends and family complain. I'll flex for 'em under the shirt - get the ropy veins on my arms to pop a little freaky and then tell them how I feel "small and weak" and I gotta do something about it. Move around in the chair a little and get a lat spread going. Or, I'll look down at my calves that are the size of softballs covered with nice veins and say - "Steroids. MMM Do you think they would help with my calves???"

Fuck Them. LMAO LOL They just make me want to get even bigger.

Your not alone bro. I took my wife and kids 300 miles to my parents house to spend a couple nights with my family that i never see and got the same bullshit. Rite after Thanksgiving dinner we were all sitting around the living room cutting up and the conversation got real serious and focused on me real quick. My older sister just straight up goes "Your body just doesn't look natural." Everybody started in on me after that and my wife just jumped in with them and she's always known and never objected (fucking traitor). I was always underweight growing up. I graduated high school at 115lbs. I'm grown ass man in my mid thirties at 230lbs ripped, jacked and swole. Let's be honest! None of us on here want to be average or blend in. I hear it at work and at the gym, I just figure now if they ain't saying it they are thinking it. Haters are or best motivators. Can't wait till next year.... Coming bigger, stronger, and ripped!

Brother

don't worry

I rather be big than skinny

and I rather ppl talk about me than not

atleast ppl know I exist, than those who feel they don't and let depression get to them!!!

lifes full of it mate, ppl will always talk, don't let things like this bog you down!!!

Ahhh don't sweat it. I have family members like that, that just take these little jabs at you here and there. Don't let it get to you, you just have to do what makes you feel good, fuck the others.

I feel like I may have a similar situation at Xmas. This time last year I had a relapse, went down to about 140lbs. Since getting my shit together ive put on about 45lbs.
I'll be seeing family I haunt seen since then, some may be like wtf, are you on gear?!
I'll have to just use the old tried n tested 'ive been eating n training like a mad man' excuse. As I destroy my Xmas dinner!

Unfortunately, bro. U will have to deal w this the whole time u lift. People r jealous. Family and everyone will always b saying something bout juicing. U have to brush it off. Ur family and friends will except u for u. And in the end it won't matter. But, I do always try to wear big clothes that r loose. So its not as noticeable. Even at the gym. I don't even wear cut offs BC I don't want they unwanted attention. They just see this big mother f er in the corner dead lifting 500lbs for reps and think I'm crazy and roided out anyway.. just take it w a smile.

wow! i just had something like this happen to me at thanksgiving dinner. at first my sisters and my brother in law were quite flattering. they noticed my arms stretching my shirt and were saying how good i look. it was a little weird but it feels so good when somebody recognizes your hard work. i was smiling and had my chest puffed out feeling proud. then after dinner we were all sitting around b.s.ing when my father comes out in front of everybody and says " are you on steroids? your face looks fat " i thought it was pretty rude but i brushed it off and told him it was my beard making my face look fat. i was a little shocked that he would even know to put 2 and 2 together like that. i dont blame him for being concerned but he should have pulled me to the side and asked that. i wish i could just come right out and tell them what i am doing, it might help them out to do what i do. they are just so misinformed they would never understand. i dont have a problem with the way im living, its a shame that other people do without knowing the truth about what they are hating on. i feel great and dont plan on changing anything im doing any time soon. good post diezel!!!

Fuck em, they're just jealous

I'm still waiting for my thanksgiving crowd to even notice I lift.....

I find a lot of my friends put themselves out there by their simple mannerisms that they juice, not so much by how they look. They might be just giving you that attention because at one point you felt comfortable with that image, but no longer identify as being a "juice-head." Do what you love and forgive those who probably just live for certain moments. You are lucky you have something you love to do, most people don't.

I had a few sly comments after my 2nd cycle once I hit about 210. I've always maintained a joking light heart approach to comments I felt where made in jest. But when I feel like someone is attacking or using a tone that implies they are putting me down, I flip a switch. Zero tolerance policy for people that need to put others down to feel better about themselves. Also I make a point not to surround myself with those types. You can't pick your family, but you can sure as hell teach them to respect you.

Good luck bro

I don't tell people I juice for one reason. I HATE when people try and use it as an excuse as to why I am where I am. We work harder than anybody knows, juice or no juice. Don't sit there and tell me that I am a juice head cause you can't get your fatass up after you get off work and get in the gym 6 days a week. Rain or shine, feeling like shit sometimes whatever you know.

People like to make excuses to make themselves feel better and to in a way out you down.

Ig being a family dinner I would have taken it on the chin like the man I am, table manners lol. But my family knows and SEES first hand the hard work I put in daily. They wouldn't let a conversation like that go very far without stepping in I don't think.

But I feel ya man. Been there.

just pull a syringe out at the dinner table and yell DONT MAKE ME DO IT!

I am pretty open with people as well and I have had it bite me in the ass as well. My brother and I are in the middle of a pretty nasty squabble right now, he has always been a spoiled unappreciative brat. Anyway, he threw the "what are you gonna do double up on roids today?" To wit I replied "why,are you going to fuck around on your wife today?".. Followed up with I better never hear my personal business come out of your mouth again or I will make sure to start sharing yours... End of discussion. Point is, sometimes others need to get whacked upside the head with one of their own skeleton bones..

don't stress it man alcohol can cause fucked up things. don't let it get to you. for one they wouldn't have been so insensitive to blurting shit out like that if they weren't all drunk. Also you got to keep up, there are always people in this world even family that tries to knock you down. it happens to all of us. for whatever reason there will always be that person or person(s)

stay up!! turn it into a joke!! say yuuup I eat a bowl of steroids for breakfast every day, coco buffs! make it into a joke. that's always a good way to change a discussion. when someone attacks you agree with them. once you admit and agree with them then they will no longer be criticizing you but instead will have a laugh. it's not worth letting someone bring you down just because they are being a drunk asshole. just smile and laugh about it.

Just shake you head as though you're day dreaming while smiling and say "damn could you even imagine how gigantic I'd be if I did them steroids" then you smack at your arm like you're trying to find a vein. Stand up and stomp around with your arms really far out from your side while holding as big of a breath in as you can........ It's always funny and it deflects any of those words from the juicer accuser. Works every time LOL

I have a brother in law I work out with pretty often. He made probably 15 references yesterday. He's a real strong dude, and thinks because he's done it without gear he's a little better. But he'll take every pro-hormone that's ever been on the market. Quite a few he's had negative consequences with. So I asked him what the difference is? I explained my method is controlled, where he's really just hoping things convert the way they're advertised to. I don't speak openly about it with very many people , but when you hit them the science behind it, most are understanding. And he's still family. Pro hormone estrogen spikes and all.

I really don't mind and usually laugh when people tell me I'm juiced out.. However I do get annoyed when it's that condescending tone like I'm a piece of shit if I'm using gear.. I never make the first insult or stab but eh if it were me I'da shut them down.. honestly what are you afraid of? You're twice their size so you can't be afraid of a drunken brawl.. maybe your afraid to take it to far? I do feel bad making fun of people even when they're asking for it.. especially since I now make everyone in the room look like a stale sack of shit.. a bit narcissistic I know but lets be honest that's exactly why they're picking at you about gear.. you prlly make them all look like shit too.. average insecure people don't like being dwarfed so they're going to look for your faults.. When someone feels threatened it's very easy to blame it on your gear use.. somehow to them that makes your physical achievements void.. either put them in their place or realize they're doing it because they're butt hurt about having to stand next to you and be compared to you lmfao

This is what you should do..

so i just drank a bottle of tequila to numb it.. now im hung over like crazy...i was wondering if anyone else feels a little self conscious or experience the same things at parties or events.. advise on how to cope would be good.

This is why you should be be mentally strong in all aspects of using juice before doing it. To save your self from compensating with self pity and alcohol. I am not trying to be insulting brother just telling you like it is. When I see people crying after they get caught cheating or by the law I can't help but think that suck weakness should be put to death. You must count the cost about what you do thoroughly in all aspects. Legally, financially, health, and family.

Then you will be mentally prepared for it all. Family says "you juice head" you can say; "Be advised juiced heads are known to flip the fuck out and destroy wise cracking assholes!" Or you can say; Why don't we bring out everyone's shit at the family gathering, instead of doing this weak ass pathetic gang up on one because there is safety in numbers while being assholes!"

You see people who talk the most shit have the most shit to hide, that is why they deflect it by being condescending to others. Yes even families need to be shamed, see if they cared they would take you aside privately and talk to you. But that outward exposing under the guise of "just joking", is malicious.

How to cope? I enjoy knowing that I could break any hater in half. I don't need a bottle of booze to know I'm better than them and they're jealous. Just gotta let it roll off.

^ I'm narcissistic lol but I love it.

Dont let it bother you. At family functions I make a point of wearing some nice baggy clothes.

There have been a few comments made towards me as well. I usually ask if my appearance makes them uncomfortable because they are not happy with theirs' (which is obese), the conversation always ends there.

Never been called a juice head ?? L.O.L !! It goes in one ear and out the other ! If you use AAS in a safe manner I feel there's nothing wrong with it !! If your family would read more into AAS they would understand. My sister just started dating a 52yr old. He's ripped like a 20yr old I asked her what is he on ?? She got mad at me L.O.L !! And said nothing !! I told her yea right !! I know Whats up !! So then I became the bad guy ! L.O.L !! People drink,people over eat, people use drugs, We like to work out and stay in shape, and use AAS in a safe manner! Who cares !!!!!!! I learned along time ago I don't care what people think about me !! My friends and family should love me for who I am !! I love story's like this ! Thanks for posting !!
