Thread: You know you’re obsessed with bodybuilding when...

I always love those. there was a post a long while back with a bunch of these.

sometimes when im walking up stairs i do calf raises up them.

* Your driving 85 miles down the highway and your hands are out side (top) and your using the wind resistance to do small crunches.

* You wear your weight belt to dinner

At the mall holding your wifes bags while she is trying things on and low and behold you see a full length mirror. You drop the bags and start posing in the mirror. the lighting is awesome in "The Limited" hahahaha

When you do behind the neck tricep extensions with your 4 year old son while watching tv.

On an off day you still go to the gym (in my basement) just to sit in there and look at the weights.

When it's freezing outside and your still going outside in a tanktop and shorts after a good pump.

your obsessed when your cooking dinner and start doing dips between the counter tops (even if your wearing oven mits and cooking apron).

When your cooking on the grill and start doing bicep curls with the heavy side of the grill. (all the food slides to the other side).

carrying your sons bookbag from school to the car doing single arm curls. (being sure to slow the walking pace down to ensure you get the same amount of reps for both arms before you get to the car).

When you take your kids to the playground and your doing pullups on the overhead monkey bars not allowing the kids to use that part of the equipment until you get 3 sets of 10 in.

For the record,,,, I do all the above mentioned.

you know you've got a problem, when your wife asks you to practing counting with your 4 year old son so you take him in the basement and have him count reps.

When your walking up the stairs to go to bed at 03:00am and do 5 reps of one leg calf raises on every step. (new meaning to the word pyramiding = Making it from the bottom step to the top step)

You chase the yellow lab around the house trying to take her bally (around the kitchen table, into the dining room, few laps around the dining room table back to the den etc) to get some extra cardio work without letting onto your wife know what your real reason for chasing the dog is because she knows Im out of control and truely obsesssed with fitness and training. (she freeken hates it).

Sitting at work posting at Ironmanmag forums. While waiting for responses,, doing tricep bench dips from your computer chair with feet on the desktop. (people here think I'm insane)

This one is also TOTALLY TRUE: Giving co workers with lower senority a choice to either, perform some stupid menial task or sit on my back so I can do calf raises. (they always choose my back over work).

And lastly,,, spending hours here at Ironmanmagazineforums.com (At WORK) rather then doing work and just deligating all your work to others.

When someone asks you: What was the last good novel you've read? and you respond, the latest issue of Muscle & Fitness.

When you look in the Glossary of your sons History book under letter O.
Looking for the History of the Mr. Olympia Contest and all the winners(reigns as champ).
Kidding I never did this one. hahahahahaha

When your walking with your wife "anywhere" and a hot looking girl and her big azz boyfriend walk by. You do a double take, wife catches you but before she can accuse you of checking out the girl who you really didn't notice,, you ask the wife,,, "Are his arms bigger than mine?"
Wife walks away from you shaking her head.

When your in the dog house with your wife and she is really pissed at you. I mean REAL pissed!!!! Most guys at this point worry "Is she going to kick me out for this one, or not talk to me for 3 days?" I worry,, "Is she going to ban me from my gym for another week?"

When you buy a house but are more interested in the square footage of the basement (for your workout equipment) then the square footage of the living quarters or how many bathrooms there are.

When you make dinner reservations for your Anniversary for 10:00pm because that is where it fits into your bodybuilding diet plan.

How about we start a "you know you`re a post whore " for FS

When your sister calls you from the Interstate saying her car broke down, she's stranded in the rain and needs you to pick her up and your only 10 minutes away from where she is.
You tell her you will be there in an hour and a half because your changing your in the process of doing an oil change and the tires being rotated but in reality,,, you just did the 1st working set for Chest and arms and don't want to blow your psych.

Too funny Kus,, to be honest,, they just kept coming!!!! I just thought about my everyday life and there ya have it. all them there posts on the subject. now everyone will now I'm seriously "touched". hahahaha

When you take your wife out to a fancy restaurant. She orders a full course dinner, you order a salad for appetizer and a glass of milk.
When the milk comes you pull out a packet of Protein Powder and mix it up. that was your main course. Time for desert.
