Things u like to hear and dont like to hear??

[1day]

So as we are in the sport of making our bodys look better , whether it be for aiming for more muscle mass or just loosing the unwanted weight, what are some compliments uve had and what ar sum of the discouraging things(generally by those that dont hold back from the truth) uve had said to u regarding ur progress?

and are you one to comment to others about there progress, good or bad?

[1day]

:? wow, so no one gets any funny or motivating compliments and no one gives any ot othas? wota a sad world we live in :roll:

well i for 1 will always talk somone up,compliment them,even if theyre not making much progress, becuse i rekon it can be the make or break point to sum1 just giving up or really pushing themself to succeed.

one comment ive had a cuple of times after showing family or friends sum pics of me on stage is 'wow , ur hiding quite a bit of muscle under those clothes' :shifty: now i dnt know whether to take that as a compliment or not, as every1 wants to feel like the have a big frame and stand out in a crowd with a avrage fitting t-shrit on , but i guess it cool to have them atleast acknowledge ur size wen u tryin the heardest to show it off :shifty:

like when i quit smoking and drinking and lost a few inches off me gut and a mate says" I see you have put on weight...been pigging out to replace the cigs eh?"

he got " f*ck off"

[Chillicat]

I'm not so keen on hearing 'you look prettier with a bit more weight on' from a fat family member (female therefore jealous!) when I mention that the reason why I'm not drinking is because I've made a lifestyle change to be fitter and healthier and more muscular, and that I've lost 6kg this year.

But I'm not overly bothered about other people's opinions. Big enough (and apparently ugly enough ) to be more concerned about my own opinions.

always good to hear people say " your looking bigger" when your dieting for a show and loosing KG's by the week! good for the ego

[Mr_Krabs]

Its funny here at work cos I dont think people quite know how to approach the "youre looking bigger" style of compliment theyre so used to saying "yourve lost weight good on you" the closest Ive got was "youre looking very athletic" thats close enough to "man yourve packed on some decent mass!" in my books so Ill take it :grin:

[biggurl27]

Competition time:

"I prefer chicks with less muscle" :-s

"You on the juice?" :roll:

"You look a bit sick"

"Hows the diet and training going?" :clubbed:

Off season:

"you're looking good" hmmm compared to what an elephant? :pfft:

"who ate all the pies"

"you've put on some size aye" Um yeah its called fat :shifty:

[Specter]

As for me..the only things I get to hear are from other experienced bodybuiders and those bodybuilders who have competed and they give me some positive feedback :grin: ....and the only negative feedback I get from them is....When you going to compete? :roll:

[Monopoly Man]

'Oh you look good, but you bodybuilders live such an unhealthy lifestyle', from someone who smokes a pack a day and drinks piss all weekend :roll:

Pre comp when you're all vascular - "ewwww all those veins are so disgusting!" \:D/

BTW Specter, when are you competing? :pfft:

ahahahahaha, LMAO!!! the truth hurts sumtimes though ahe mate! :pfft:

[Daniil]

I don't like being told I'm pale. Why? Cuz I don't give a f*ck! I'm still skinny, which is worse than being pale! Just f*ck off with that.

I like hearing advices on improving my technique. I don't like being told my technique is "perfect". Dang, that's just something I refuse to believe. There's always something that can be improved.

On a side note, I really liked the word "piceps", ha-ha-ha.

:pfft: yea, just p.m him and im sure he'll tell u all his secrets, like his healthy piet he's been on for past few mths :wink:

[Luigi]

i dont like being told i look fat and im shrinking

[Mrbig]

when i was a skinny runt i use to hate being told about it especially from fat fuckers who then got told by me to stop eating so much and workout and they would get all pissed off like being told ur a twig isnt an insult haha m glad that doesnt happen anymore all i get now is

WHAT THE f*ck HAPPENED TO YOU :pfft: I said eat a steak not the whole cow

that is always a good compliment

[nemesis]

like everyone out there, I enjoy getting a compliment, but I've given up waiting for others to notice my gains, (specialy these tempory gains tucked under my chest :cry: even though i aint had a drink, curry, kebab or pie in bloody months!)

So I've taken to big daily helpings of extreme public narcissism at every opportunity \:D/ I know they're all thinking it, I just verbalise it for them! :pray:

I had to after the last person said "you seem to know a bit about weight training, did you used to be into that sort of thing?" :doh:

[VampireChick]

People don't compliment my body as such (perhaps maybe cause it aint all that!) but I love hearing "man you've got some dedication" and "you're so disciplined, wish I could be like you".

[thatwaslight]

Do you not go to the gym anymore? :x

f*ck! what happened to you?

Are you taking sumthing? \:D/

[Peachy]

I don't know if its a compliment or a bad thing or just plain stupidity but I always get ....

"why are you going to the gym?? you so don't need to!" :shock:

Ummm wtf... I don't need to go to the gym because I do

[runveerun]

I guess it's a compliment but I get 'ooo you're looking toned' grrrrrrr it's muscles I tell ya!! :pfft:

[teamfatboy]

Ummm wtf... I don't need to go to the gym because I do

Now, that is true, very true!

Best feedback was something that WASN'T said... several people who always remembered the old fat TFB simply didn't recognise me at all.

Second best feedback - being told I'm showing improvements by people who clearly know what they're doing.

Third best feedback - being told I'll make it!

[AlBundy]

Hmm to untrained people an average level of development looks extremely impressive. That's what I've noticed anyway. I like the "you don't want to get any bigger though do you?" comment that alot of people make. A stupid question when I'm big enough people will know.

[bambam]

Saw an old cyclist mate for the first time in afew years (still skinny as hell with out of proportion legs) and i got "holly shit wtf have you done to yourself" ..... 72kg - 93kg.. at least i can tell somthings working

[vracula]

when some on the ladies in the group complement me on my physique,guys are like oh yeah it's not natural.

im on whey and creatine :roll:

when guys tell me they want to join and say shit like "Yknow i dont want to grow big and freaky like those bodybuilders"like it's really easy.

LOL I just start laughing and tell them they are idiots on the face
