cliché bodybuilder ??
I noticed some are quite itchy about the cliché bodybuilder.
Let´s make some assumptions.
As you started out bodybuilding (and still) some or many people around you thought you were crazy
(even more so if you are a woman)
they couldn´t understand why you would want to train so hard to get a ugly blown up body. (this is not my opinion)
allthough these people thought this, you still went on and did it.
so you are a person who makes up his/her own mind.
you set goals and trained very hard to get them. you are very disciplined, you`ve got a trainingsschedule and a diet plan. and you follow both strictly.
So In short you are somebody who wants to achieve something and works very hard and disciplined to do so.
You probably also do that in other areas of your life.
you are probably pretty succesfull in life.
so my question is:
why do you let some stupid cliché image from people who haven'got a clue what they are talking about upset you so much?
why don´t you just let them live there ignorant lifes? You know your secret to succes? why fill them in ?

it doesn't upset me so much as it tires and bores me. like it's too ridiculous to even discuss it...so dated and ignorant it's not worth my energy.

Re: cliché bodybuilder ??
I dont get bothered unless they are really in your face about something, stupidly. I do what I do because I want to, and so on, they do what they want to do and that is what choices are about, and freedom.Originally posted by monique

Nope. At 37, I could not give two rips what someone thinks about my fitness lifestyle. I was answering the post in general, not in relation to my life. My famliy and friends learned long ago to accept my quirks. lolOriginally posted by monique

I hate it when somone says "Why do you want so much muscle? It makes you look fat when you wear clothes." or " Why do you have to eat again? You just ate 3 hours ago." or "Can't you skip a workout?" You can only put up with this for so long, then your like "Why don't you want muscle? You look fat with your clothes off." or "You didn't eat breakfast and lunch so now you're making up for it by eating 3 meals for dinner?" or "Why don't you ever workout?"
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
