Turning heads & stuttering
ad
So I am at the gym 5 days a week(2 forced off days). So needless to say I see the same people at the gym on a pretty consistent basis. Over the past 8 weeks I have put on a noticeable amount of weight and feel like a freak 2 sets into a workout. Now regulars are starting to ask the questions. To which my answer has been "I'm just eating right and doing all the right things, ya know". I mean those of us in the loop know who's in the loop just by our build. So if they're asking they most likely don't have a clue. So what's your answer?

I just tell them I've been eating babies and injecting tons of roids into my dick.
Interesting timing. Today, for the first time, a gym acquaintance, who I talk with about diet and training all the time, asked me "Do you take...anything?" I asked him what he meant and he kind of gave me this look like "You know." I immediately thought of this post.
I laughed and told him I was just getting back the weight I lost over the last 18 months between trying paleo and traveling. We've been talking for a while about my recent weight gain attempts and my calorie increase and so the implication was my gains have been by eating a ton of calories and I'm just getting back to the weight I had before he knew me.
On the one hand, I'm quite pleased it is that noticeable. On the other, I felt kinda shitty lying. I imagine it just makes him frustrated with his progress, even though he is doing fine and has a good natural BB physique.
In any case, I'm happy my efforts are starting to be noticeable enough that I'm being questioned in that way. I guess I need to come up with some kind of standard response for friends and acquaintances, since the "Tuna and creatine" shake answer won't really do with people I'm not just trying to dismiss.
I just tell em that I am using "Dat dere Cell Tech".
LOL
I cycle horse meat.
That answer has worked for Alistair Overeem for years.
Creatine and tuna shakes four times pr day is what i tell em!.. and believe me i have had kids come back and say "hey man" that stuff made me gag and tasted like shit but i will carry on cos im starting to grow!... thats fkn true story lol...lol
That what I'm saying! I totally want to play the dick card. You know, just to see what kinda crap people actually try order to see some gain.
I'm so stealing that one!! Cant wait to see what comes of it!!
AnonI brought this topic up in a thread about being subtle and discreet. I brought it up because I had some shit head who kept nagging me and asking why my shoulders and arms had grown so much. No one else has questioned me, but I have gotten the stutter or double take you mention. I try not to wear tight tees now, and have made my routine more toning than mass building. I do not want to be big, I do not want people to look at me whether they're in the know or not and say " hes on cycle"
explain with a smile its just good eating and consistant training ' and fuck'em after that
if its a young one lookin for advice il always guide him on his protein intake thats usually their downfall ' but if its some guy just hate'in il smell it a mile off and do my best to come across as a prick 
Tell em you spent all your money on the supplements phil heath advertises. Muscle Tech is the best lol
Tell them 8 weeks ago you were on the way to work and stopped at the side of the road to help a mystical looking old guy who broke down. You helped fix his car and as a reward for your good deed he gave you a bean which he described as "magic"!! You were 0.1g short of your daily protein intake so though "what the heck!" and popped it in your mouth and BAM! 8 weeks later you look like The Incredible Hulk!
I tellem that I got a bull in the backyard and I drink its sperm for increased test
AnonDamn bro, I thought I was the only one lol.
How bout this one "I'm a vegan, lots of soy" or maybe this "PB&J with the crust cut off. Shhh, don't tell anyone"
AnonEating lots of food and working out alot thats what I tell people. Also as someone said below if they . have to ask they dont know. The average person is ignorant thank god! They think u can turn fat into muscle lol. Lets keep it that way just say ur eateng lots of food and takeing some creatine the average joe wont question u.
Right most people do not know/understand. It's the people that work out religiously and do not get near good results as you.
Creatine and protein excuse works for most people, except kids that already use creatine & protein with little/no results. Or the people who workout 7 days a week for 2 hours each day and are skinny as a twig that get mad because they workout harder than you but look smaller
I used to get people asking me all the time last summer. Then this winter I blew the hell up (20lbs in 4 weeks) and I think everyone knows lol. Nobody asks me anymore most likely because they think im on steroids.
What does it is the lean steroids. Like anavar, winstrol, tren. Because normal people don't have massive veins ripping out of their biceps like garden hoses. Normal people also don't have traps like brock lesnar aha
I tell em Im too old for that shit. LOL
Love that one Fast! Just being strong makes most wonder. People have nothing better to do than gossip. I just mind my own business and be pleasant. Being strong before gear always had someone starting a rumour. Let em think what they want!
Exactly! Back when i was completely natty i was Hella strong so since I'm short....gotta be gear. They've already judged. Smile n move along. Lol
