ME:

Getting in shape has 'defined' me (no pun intended).

Mixed social reactions to be honest, some of my mates think why commit XYZ amount of time/effort on gym on a regular weekly basis. It's not like you training for a competition or a movie script etc etc blah blah... those folks I sort of ignore usually. The others were/are in awe giving me the 'thumbs ups' and 'well dones' because I was somewhat of a professional couch potato/ part time chubster when I was younger (Back then I believed in a healthy rich donut diet & all sorts of other miracle sugars lol).

Someone in the gym told me "Women will want you & Men will want to be you' train with that mind set Son" So I do.... also the increased confidence & respect gainage, are definitely sweeeet by-products of tryna get in top shape.

Also LOVE the fact that people now come up to me for lifting advise in the gym just randomly when I'm going about my business with the iron...

So yea Just curious as to how people react to you now? :lupe:

Did you make new friends?
Did women start throwing themselves at you?:bow:

Any new opportunities come about that wouldn't have if you were still out of shape?

Yes. People always same old questions: how long I've been working out, how often I do I train, what supplements do I take, where do I train etc....

Then proceed to be extra friendly, after every post encounter.
Did women start throwing themselves at you?:bow:
Yes, but this wasn't always a good thing :scusthov:

It's one thing when attraction is mutual but contact with the person in question isn't attractive, it gets to be daunting....


It doesn't help that I'm kind of selective in regards to picking up females.

Not quite sure yet. I've been in shape, since I turned 18...

No time for social life....

Too busy lifting.

Props for the commitment to the iron..... social life is overated anyway :lolbron:

Father thinks I'm juicing. :mindblown:

Some of friends are low key jealous...didn't help I was outgoing with females even when I was skinny. I surpassed my buddy that put me on the gym life.:patrice:

With women....I'll just say I get it when I need it. :wow:

Damn sounds like you killing the gym scene breh....Yea its always the parents first that start suspecting shyte when they see suspicious tubs & packages contain cocaine texture like substances around the house....& haters are gonna hate :jawalrus:

That was the first clue that I was on the right path was when I started to look more imposing than my friends that also lift they went from cheering me on wholeheartedly to having to find some kind of way to give backhanded praise/compliments.

That's one of the best feelings in the world. I was doing wide grip weighted pull-ups with 35 pound weights and
I had a couple of people stop by and ask for advice when I was done. :obama:

Decatur where its greater
Man I gotta get on my shyt. A bruh always been kind of skinny, can't get past 155. It seems like whenever I get in it together and start hitting the gym hard something in life pops up and I get sidetracked. I need to stay focused and get back into it. I feel like I might need a personal trainer to keep my focused until it's a regular habit for me.

:salute: to all the bruhs out there putting in work at the gym

Another thing is half of why I want to get bigger / Leaner/ Stronger is for sexxxx appeal... but I find it's like most girls want the ripped guy, but don't want to acknowledge the process of getting there i.e find the whole commitment distasteful....I guess its a double standard that most crazy women have :yeshrug:
