Bodybuildings ups and downs

ad

I been bodybuilding off and on since I was 18 years old and I'm 45 years old now. Bodybuilding has helped me in alot of ways but it has its downsides too. Truth is,I would probly be dead now if I didnt workout. I have alot of people half my age comparing their physiques with mine but thats a compliment to me. The problem I have is alot of people think that simply because I am big,muscular etc. That I must be violent too.Nothing could be further from the truth. Alot of the girls I work with call me the "gentle giant".I have got alot of jobs because of my size but I have also lost some jobs because of it too.People come right out and say they are intimidated by my size. If you ask me its the smaller,shorter guys you got to watch out for. They got the short mans complex and feel like they got something to prove. I'm 6ft.1- 245 lbs. with very little bodyfat. I been in the Marine Corps. for 8 years and carry myself with confidence but I dont like it when people think I'm dangerous simply because of my size and I can tell people are intimidated by me and alot come right out and say they are.Its not as if I got 1 eyeball in the center of my forehead and scars from head to toe. I got 3 tattoos and people tell me all the time I look like that guy Vin Diesel. I been ordering off E Roids sources for about 4 years now and Its my favorite web Site. Any advice on how to handle this B.S. would surely be appreciated cause you know. You treat somebody a certain way for awhile,eventually they might act that way.
Thanks in advance for any input.I just dont like for people to think I'm violent and dangerous simply because i workout.It does get old after awhile when you walk into a public place and people get the hell out of your way because of your size and I'm damn sure not going to stop working out. Anybody else have this problem?

I only bet you think people are intimidated by your size. Im glad the sreoids effected your ego. But never doubt a smaller guy and his size. Cause you might just find yourself KNOCK THE F--- OUT

It all boils down to how you carry yourself and the tattoos definitely have nothing to do with it.

Adding that extra plate Smile

That's what it's all about bro that's why I recently joined planet fitness. So I could add that extra plate with pizza on it hmmmm yummy

If I'm bulking I usually skip some sets so I can add multiple plates

Besides the horrific username, I find this post to be quite juvenile considering it was supposedly written by a 45 yr. old ex-marine! Very odd!

You're 45? I'm sure if you had kids you wouldn't be joking about this issue.. If I had to guess you're either not 45 or don't have kids either way bad move bro.

I was about to give you a serious answer and then I saw your username. Here is what I am going to do. I am going to ban you and if you want to come back that is fine but do not come back with a username like that. I can only assume you were attempting to be humorous, we are not laughing

Why on earth would you choose the name of a Paedophile as your user name?

Wow rusty, here is what he was talking about...short man complex haha. I never hear in the news anyone say "we knew he had issues because he was short and angry." It was always " We used to call him a gentle giant and he was so nice, we never thought he would do what he is accused of." I actually find the opposite, its the taller guys who have god complex and like to try and look down on people, pun intended. If you go through life worrying about other people all the time then its a real sad life. People suck wether they are 4 foot tall or 7 foot tall. Theres the advice you are looking for....with a username like that you ask for trouble
