Ignorant people

[cuderbeast]

Today i was sitting their when i got in a coversation to a guy about weight lifting and how he got outlifted by another football player. He mentioned how the other guy was "messing with supplements!" Next he said how they mess up your body and are bad for you. After about 5 minutes of him rambling on about something he really knows nothing about i try and straighten him out. Why do people thing supplements are BAD? I think of them as things that promote a heathly body and lifestyle. It seems like everybody outside this forum is ignorant and GNC really doesn't help them understand, they just sell it. Are supplements headed down the drain with steroids and pro hormones?

[ugab3737]

I totally agree with you. People are just so ignorant. I do work at GNC(and I do agree with the criticism GNC gets), but it amazes me how stupid some people are. I have people ask for steroids and they aren't joking. They actually think GNC carries steroids. I'll have some idiot guy come in and say "do you workout or do you just take vitamins". Man Im 6,2, 227pounds and about 13% bf and this bastard has the nerve to ask that. I have busted my ass to get in the shape I'm in and he thinks all I have to do is just "take vitamins" and bam, huge overnight. Then you have that huge group of people that think supplements of any kind will kill you. Brilliant. To sum it up, a lot of people are just plain ignorant and I just cant stand it.

[lifter1417]

true i cannot stand these people. i had a guy try to tell me that the only anabolic substances know to man were steroids. lol

[lifter1417]

another guy said that he was fixing to start lifting weights again but this time he was going to take some steroids for real results.
then i questioned him what kind and he replied " i dont know yet probally some brand of creatine"

Just point him in the direction of your nearest GNC. They carry "Steroids" ya know...

These are my favor people. Whatcha talking 'bout, Willis? These are those lames that can't hang, make me look like Superman and are my bestfriends cause in direct comparison...um...tha women go for me over the ignorant, outta shape retards. So Swoll says shake their hand, buy them a beer, buddy around with them....then steal their hot girlfriends!!!

[cuderbeast]

Hahah... nice call Swoll

I also hear from this from people:

"Man i'm about to start lifting again and in a couple months i'm gonna be swoll." These people think that Arnold and Rome was built in a day. If it only took a year to get like Arnold then everybody would be like that. They just dont understand

[Jswoll]

" in a couple months i'm gonna be swoll."
Yeah I hear that too, everybody want to be me, go figure, it's hard being so freaking cool;)

[cuderbeast]

Hahaha exactly

[cuderbeast]

This guy at my school has some d-bol which he probably got of the net and is not real. He says that d-bol and dianabol are TWO different steroids. I told him to use common sence but NOOOOOOOO. He doesn't know what hes doing.

Ya know how everything in the store say "dietary supplement," do you get a lot of people asking you if they'll loose weight with it too? The multivitamins say dietary supplement, and I get people all the time who say they dont want to loose weight when they take it.

The GNC I work at has turned into a daycare. All day kids come in giggling while they ask me what horny goat weed does.

The other day kids came in and saw Fizogen's The Strap, and ask me if it was a "strap on."

I said "yeah, ya interested? it sounds like you've heard of it..." then they left.

I've found that, that's the best way to get rid of them. Just agree or play along. They've asked me if I had any steroids, and I said "yeah, there right there (pointing to 17HD)." He saw it, then said "Oh okay," then left.

lol... some people are unbelievable.

[cuderbeast]

hahaha... gnc sounds fun to work at....

[gncrep]

Its fun when you work with someone cool, but normally you work by yourself. I think its a good job for students because they can get some school work done there.

I learned to juggle with the stress balls at work.

Im glad your getting something done!

[lifter1417]

while standing in the lunch line today at school i was listening to people behind me talk about supp.
They main idea of their discussion was about how they each used a bottle of No-explode a week, with only a 3 workout days in that week. I think they said something around 8-10 scoops pre-workout.
I cant even imagine being that dumb and wasting so much money

[garb]

8-10 scoops.....no wonder they were only able to work out 3 days a week. the rest of the time they had a MAJOR case of the shits.

[Clickster]

8-10 scoops.....no wonder they were only able to work out 3 days a week. the rest of the time they had a MAJOR case of the shits.

lmao, I was thinking the exact same thing.

[cuderbeast]

8-10 scoops.....no wonder they were only able to work out 3 days a week. the rest of the time they had a MAJOR case of the shits.

Hahaha.... they had it commin

[gncrep]

damn, I didn't think consuming 8-10 scoops at once was even possible. I applaud them. 3 scoops was the most I ever did.

[cuderbeast]

3 scoops was thick too!! I did it for a coulple workouts and it was just to much

[gncrep]

yeah, 3 scoops is for a big workout day. normally its 2.

[Expose191419]

yeah 2 or 3 is awesome for workouts

8-10 good lord! I am sure they No Xploded all in their pants after that.

[garb]

yeah 2 or 3 is awesome for workouts

8-10 good lord! I am sure they No Xploded all in their pants after that.


hahahaha......my point exactly

[lifter1417]

i should have asked them
and then i would have told them that 8-10 is not enough and that they should use 1 bottle per workout and see if they believed me.

[cuderbeast]

They prolly drink it like water. They have like 4 bottles during workout lol. I bet they could use a bottle of glycergrow in like a week and its 100 scoops

[cuderbeast]

I have got to add to this. Today i was eating lunch with a guy and we started talking about liftin weights and supplements. He ask's me if i'm taking anything because my veins are sticking out in my arms. Then he tells me i should take the creatine and NO from GNC. After i give him this sites address( which i give to people all the time) and about their prices and GREAT forum. We start talking about the creatines and he knows nothing about them EXCEPT the fact they "are bad" for your body. I tell him that is a common misnomer and to tell me all the other dumb facts he knows too so i can straighten them up also. We need to have a creatine commercial like the tobacco commercials lol....

[lifter1417]

i was in the gym the other day and was listening to a couple of guys talk about supplements they were taking and what not. Any way one guy goes on to say that he heard about this Antator p-70 stuff and it was just crazy! He said it was not right for them to be messing with peoples genes and stuff, that is your DNA! And then he said he could not believe that he was in GNC the other day and they sold a bottle of Anator to a high school kid. " He is not even done growing and they are going to mess up his DNA! He will probally have to take another supplement just to fix it"

Here's my story. Several years ago I was a member of a private health club and I was friends with this old guy who played squash almost religiously. At the time I was taking creatine and hydroxycut - this was during the days when I didn't know beans about nutrition, supplementation or exercise. Nevertheless, I was doing tons of cardio and exercising like mad, so my body responded big time. I was lean, big and in good shape, and the transformation was fast. So people at the club got it into his head that I was doing "steroids" - so I told him that I was taking vitamins and supplements.

So a while later, while I'm doing cardio, this old guy (a different one) comes up to me, and says "Those protein powders, they dont work" or "they're not good for you" or something like that, and then he goes on to try to tell me that creatine is a steroid because its a "performance enhancer." Gimme a break. He then asked me if the 'white powder" (creatine) i took was steroids, and i told him no. Then he asks me "well what color powder is steroids?"

I wanted to tell him to crap it, because at that point, It delved to new depths of stupidity. Thank God for the 1% that have all the brains huh? haha...the other 99% are sheep.

These stories are so funny...LOL..

I go to a small school and live in a small town.. (2700 peep) about 380 kids in 9-12...I am really about teh only one who supplements and keep up with my diet and trains HARD...of course i was accused of steroids..i just laugh..

here are some of my stories....


My "friends" would go behind my back and talk about me..

1. We are seperated into 2 diff. lunches.. I was inanother lunch and come to find out some of the guys were talking about me and they were discussing what i take.. here is the famous quote " He's on steroids" next guy "Which one?" Original " I am not sure.. Its not Decca because thats not a steroid. But i do know he is on Creatine and that IS."

2. (same guy with the creatine)..same lunch.. i'm walking up to throw my trash away..as i leave the convo starts.."look at him..he is definately takeing Juice..hes big..hes not natural because look at all the UNNATURAL protein he eats" WTF!!??
Referring to my diet.. I really dont know what Unatty protein is so could some1 explain ?LOL

3. In front of the gym i am eating a protein bar.. and here comes the idiot.. (fat dude) " what is that" me"protein bar" him "why do you need protein if you are takeing supplements?" me"because i like to fart, now go and eat your cookie you fat sh*t".

4.girls-i have been asked by my real close girl-friends if i am on AAS's..they are curious what it does to the penis so i have to tell tehm the truth about atrophy..they actually ar really intrested and listen.. But i came up to one girl that was graduateing and said i would miss her and like usual she wanted me to flex..(she always did that)..of course i said no because all of the haters were watching me..(didnt want to look like i was showing off in ANY way)..anothe girl sitting at the table asks "do you take muscle milk" i replied "I did before to try it out" her reply "then go away..your not natural it doesnt matter then"... I really just DONT understand...

there are plenty more but my hands are tired..lol....

i dont understand why people think that because you take supplements that you CHEATED! I hate this more than anything in the world.
I have been working about for about 6 months now and rumors are starting to circulate about me and my work-out partner ( who goes to the same school and is Cuderbeast on this board) that we were "taking stuff". When i asked what this meant i was thinking steriods but No. People said that we would have never gotten this big if not for all the supplements. Then one guy went on to say " well in a way it is like you just those muscles" I said please explain this to me. He said " you bought the supplements that built those muscles and so therfore you bought your muscles." I reply back saying that yes i did buy my muscles by training my ass off in the gym 5 days a week for 6 months and watching my diet. Another thing that really burns me is when people who dont even workout (at all, never) tell me " i would be that big too if i took all those supplements"

[UNCfan1]

Thats crazy Shutta those people don't look at the Magazines to see what isn't natural. I had a couple friends from high school that I haven't seen in awhile ask my if I was juicing and I was no why do I look like it and they said yeah. When I was in high school I was rail thin and now I have feeled out my frame so people think I am juicing they don't think of all the hard work we put into it. People find it hard to believe that if u eat right and take ur protein that u can build muslce. I am sick of people calling creatine a steroid, that is the funniest thing I have heard.

[garb]

i feel your pain shutta. i get asked and acused all the time of taking steroids and i dont even think im big at all....yet ;)

i got mad stories from the new gym im at. one kid admited to me and was bragging to me about how he took m1t, the kid is still in hish school. he then goes over and does some bench and is trying to show off. when he finished up i grab the bench, and blew his numbers outa the water....just to be a jerk. then he runs over and asks me what im taking, i said nuttin...i really was on nothing at this point. then he tells me bs, to bench like that i gota be on some serious stuff....lol

[A7X]

Yea some retard in my school said that whey using it 2x per day will give u liver cancer.. YEA IF U EAT A WHOLE TUB MAYBE

Good posts guys, here's my take:

The majority of people running around the planet are freakin' lemmings. The way I see it, you have 2 choices; run with them right over the edge of the cliff, or step on their heads as you walk over them.

I've been around the block long enough to spot an asshole coming... You don't have to try real hard. Just look around you. Chances are good that you are in a room full of them right now.

These are the same clowns in my gym who swing dumbells, bounce the bar off their chests, and essentially cheat their way through every excercise.

Tools, every one of them.
