How to deal with the negative attention from people

[Dark_Side]

number thing people say or what comes to mind is fuck them! It's my life!
Sometimes that's hard to say when it's family members or co workers.
I haven't even touched roids yet, just a few PH cycles and everyone asks me all the time.
"are you taking roids?"
"what are you taking?"
"what are you on"
...etc

Sometimes I don't care, but sometimes it gets to me. I can't really be an asshole at work about it because that's my career, I need to keep my job.

As far a family.... It's ruff sometimes with my mom and my brother because they blame me for using steroids. The worse part of it they say it's all because of my dad. (rents are divorced) My dad did some cycles when I was younger, never knew about it, doesn't matter to me. The thing is my dad has nothing to do with me and steroids. Never talked to him about the gym, never worked out with him. I live hours away and this is just what I do with my friends. But over and over my mother/brother yell at me saying my dad go me into this...etc
My brother even went to my dads house and freaked at him! No matter how many times I tell them that it has nothing to do with him, they don't believe me. They act like he's force feeding it to me!

The way I look at it is, some people drink, some people do coke, some people smoke weed, hell some people do it all, I only use steroids and hit the gym. Everyone has their thing and their high.
I'm sure each one has it's abuse on the body.
It's cool to do drugs and get so drunk you pass out right?, but I'm an asshole for using roids? if you can even call PH's roids.

I don't cause any shit, I don't brag, I don't talk about anything to bring on the attention. I've always been a decent size guy from being active, but with a strict diet and hard training I've made it to 195. What are they going to think when I do a cycle and sit at 215?

I thought I'd make a post because I'm getting to know you guys and just was seeing what you opinions are and/or how you deal with it as well.

Well this is tough first thing you want to do is not get angry ppl will say roid rage.

What i do is I tell them not at all Im natural but thank you,I just know how to work out maybe ill show you around the gym sometime-if this is a man this can be very emasculating.

But if this is in your work place you have every right to pull these ppl aside and ask them not to joke around like that-it could be career compromising.

Good luck

I would handle it by responding to people, when they say, "Do you roid?" by saying " DOES IT LOOK LIKE I ROID!!@#@!#!!!#" then laugh afterwards. Then just say, no, but thanks for the compliment. Then proceed to do what Drew said.

I like to make things funny. If people see you get butt hurt about it, they're probably going to think its true.

 

[cyto33]

if i'm asked i laugh and ask if they know where i can get them.
i tell them i've thought about and have reasearched it but have never had the chance to use them.

i tell people the only reason i use steroids is because I have aspirations of being Governor of California. That usually shuts em up.

Yeah haha. I've only got mad at my brother because he won't lay off but at work I usually laugh.

Good input!

That's true. So that's why I keep positive and just laugh like its a joke. but really inside saying inside "for fuck sakes"

My one buddy says that.

If someone is seriously asking me, I usually say that I've thought about it but to scared of needles or sides.

I'm definitely going to say that sometime. LOLS

It's funny that I posted this last night, because today a bunch of co workers (6-7) and myself were on break sitting outside. One asked about what I was eating (I'm the only one that eats on break, everyone else smokes or drinks pop) So I tell them, then one said "oh probably back on roids eh?" I replied "no, just trying to fix my stomach"
(Naturalpathic doc said to stay off wheat/gluten for a bit, thats another story)
He replied " oh whats wrong with it? all the roids got it mess up? all your organs getting really muscular?"
I just replied back laughing " Yeah, all my organs are hard as a rock, I can piss like a firehose"
Then because I was talking, I changed the subject back to food.

He's doing it for the attention, to get everyone laughing.
Also the person that is in the worse shape out of anyone that works there.

most of people which dislike steroids are just jaleous.

they most of time just wanabe but they never got the courage to pass across the line of steroids.

lest them eat a ton of prot-shake and throw it away anytime they go to toilets.

 

[leanbody]

I usually pontificate about diet and how good it feels not to eat junk and drink alcohol and how working out gives me a natural high. That usually shuts them up because they are eating a hot dog and downing a beer..hahahahahha

Going to be tougher when my kids start asking tho, but they see me workout everyday so hopefully it all makes sense.

LMAO exactly. A few of my close buddies know im on it... its not hard to tell. I can give them all the info ive been learning, but its all the same, Im wrong There right.
I laugh so much when they say "well have fun losing your dick, you know its shrinks it" Or you know your going to lose all your strength once you come off it including your size. its like wow... are you really that immature and stupid?

There are soooo many fucking stupid ass remarks. BEST ONE EVER, "Funny your on roids but yet im lifting almost just as much as you" YEAH if you dont recall I had a complete shoulder re-constructive. I LOST PRACTICALLY all my strength an size not being able to do anything. I tripled my normal lifting weight, put on noticeable growth in muscularity in 12 weeks. But apparently that isnt good enough yet. Its like this shit doesnt work miracles you need to put the extra effort in with it and dedicate yourself, all it is doing is assisting you in getting that extra edge/push that you need.

Then my buddy bitches cause he's not getting bigger... CAUSE YOU OVER TRAIN YOURSELF! Your body cannot handle 7 days a week weight lifting. YEAH, granted the kid is ripped like no other an practically has no bf on him, he literally is 7-8% body fat given the period. But yet all my information i give him or pointers i give to assist him is all garbage to him, because since he knows all these people in the gym who have been working out for 10+ years know everything. FUNNY there roughly the same size as me... I even talked to these "SO CALLED PROFESSIONALS" and "TRAINERS" at his gym, we got into a long ass conversation literally we talked for 2 hours non stop. When ever the people decided to get cocky and act like i didnt know a subject i would cut someone off an be a smart ass an say "well funny you say that chief" and school his ass. I KNOW MORE INFORMATION THAN THE FUCKERS GETTING PAID TO TRAIN PEOPLE. I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! GRANTED I havent had years an years of knowledge and or personal experience with some of the things, but its just sad... I should not know how to do your job better, and you went to school/worked here for how many years.

Some of the people at the gym actually came to talk to me, they walked away from there trainers. AND LET ME TELL YOU!!! They were piiiiiiiissssssed LOL

 

[Dark_Side]

ya, I usually say I eat clean and train hard, it gives good results.

lols, good old dink shrink line. makes me laugh

I usually unleash a complex diatribe pertaining to AAS implementation utilizing anecdotal evidence. Then I switch to an exculpation of the previous diatribe using actual clinical trial data. Then I ask them if they prefer to be an injudicious prick relying on locker room condemnations or be astute and perform proper research prior to castigating compounds they clearly know nothing about.

You tell people you're natural, yet you lay your cycles out on a forum to the public?

You must want people to know about it.. By the way, let me offer you some constructive criticism - You should think about adding a leg session into your training schedule.
