Saw this list on a website of Bodybuilding Humour by Roland S Persson, PhD. The guy is build pretty good and therefore has some background in what he speaks of. I thought you would find the list amusing:
You know you have finally made it to bodybuilderdom and become quite muscle bound…
- …when your shirt unintentionally bursts open the first time.
- …when clothing shops do not have your sizes anymore.
- …when unknown people ask how much you bench press.
- …when people turn around in the street to stare at you.
- …when you cannot scratch your neck.
- …when the bar won’t come all the way down to your chest anymore.
- …when you wear out pants in a matter of weeks because of inner thigh friction.
- …when you cannot reach the opposite shoulder to shave.
- …when you cannot undress a tight shirt without assistance.
- …when your feet turn flat because of your weight.
- …when your shopping cart is filled with as much as possible of a few things.
- …when unknown men and women come running across the street asking to feel your arms.
- …when your food bills exceed your clothing bills.
- …when you have sacks or piles of tubs of protein visible in your kitchen.
- …when you need to apply vaseline between your thighs when walking in shorts.
- …when you have no choice but to wear gym clothes at work.
- …when you must sleep on your back in bed.
- …when sex in a bed from IKEA becomes doubtful.
- …when you need two bus seats or aircraft seats when travelling.
- …when you bring food and protein drinks with you at all times.
- …when the table in front of you squeaks and cracks as you merely rest one arm on it.
- …when people declare you a brainless musclehead but simultaneously can’t hide how much they want you for sex.
- …when you no longer fit behind the steering wheel of European city traffic cars.
- …when fellow passengers scream at the air stewardess: I don’t bloody want to sit next to HIM!
- …when fellow professionals ask if you have added “bouncing” to your other qualifications.
- …when you without thinking about it bounce your pex and flex your arms in public.
- …when you change your sounds and vocabulary in the gym doing 600+ lbs squatting.
- …when you spend a good part of the day in the bathroom … reading.
- …when butt-whiping becomes an effort in terms of reach.
- …when you shy away from the word “small”.
- …when one of your turnons is muscle soreness.
- …when you know more about physiology and pharmacology than your family doctor.
- …when food becomes function rather than pleasure.
- …when your shadow provides sunshelter for at least two people.
- …when you can’t help looking like jumbojet taking off with lats forcing your arms outwards.
- …when you have to go through many doors sideways and can give up the thought of heeding Nature’s Call on board an aircraft or a train.
- …when you walk like you have wet yourself.
