Rep Power: 10  | Re: Recognition. Well, this is a thread about hometown recognition. Im NOT i repeat NOT trying to sound arrogant. But this is how it is here in this town. Im sure some of you guys/gals can relate. Im in a town thats pop. is around 85k. Heres a couple stories of recognition I have. 1. I took the family to one of the malls here in town, I had to get some new shoes and of course the misses had to shop... :( lol... well I get into the shoe store and im looking around and see a pair I like. But me being the cheap ass i am.. hehe, there 80$ (FU guys who are laughing at me :P ) But i decide to get them anyway. So i take them up to the counter and the guy up theres all "Hey ive seen you in the gym and stuff" ... ok... I dont recognize him. "Here bro, Ill just give you the shoes 50% off."  2. Local news station wanted to do a piece on me about BB, and what I did for the shows and in the gym and diet. I turned it down... to much trouble. I barely have enough time to do my stuff now as it is. 3. People stopping me in public always asking questions and wondering if I'll help them out ( i dont know any of these people). 4. Just walking around in public, you get the head turns and looks.. after awhile you start to get self consiuos and wonder if you have a booger or something.. lol Im sure everyone has their stories and stuff... spill them here. Dont be shy. Shit, I wonder how pro's and shit do it... must get old REAL quick... but all the free stuff must be nice.. ;)

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Recognition. That's awesome man. Good for you. It's things like that, that can help motivate at times! I have a lot of friends that saw the changes i made (going from fat, to verrrry skinny, to bigger and stronger) and started asking for questions. A lot of people who haven't seen me since high school will stop me and ask how i did it...feels great. But your stories are awesome big...i'd eat that shit up! enjoy it, you know? (by the way...i'm not all that surprised)

Rep Power: 9 | Re: Recognition. I just think people are not use to see a big BB walking around with a goat under his arm!! I think it is funny when people come up and say"Bro, how much do you weigh?" "275" "wow..how did you do that?" "muscle weighs more then fat" "wow" :D now move so I can do my work out!!!..lol

Rep Power: 8   | Re: Recognition. Everyone at the college i go to does that too me, i never workout there though. But i always have people approaching me asking for tips on gettin big, what tehy should take, or eat or drink. Then i started only going to the college in the fall and i live in hoodies and jeans so people cant really see my build that well so i dont get pestered alot. Well unless im wearing a hoodie or sweatshirt with a gym logo on it, make me think twice about wearing them sometimes, buts its all i got im a poor college kid. And similar things happen when im visiting my uncles farm, the population is about 65 in the town and they have a small little place with a boxing ring use for boxing and wrestling and a few heavy bags and some free weights for the highschool football team. People always look at me funny when im at the diner eating mass amounts of food....

Rep Power: 7 | Re: Recognition. I get the that shit too...and it bugs me they'll try to be all cool and non chalante... Hey, can you hook me up with some cycle advise...and I'll just laugh and be like man..I wouldnt touch that shit if my life depended on it."Didnt you see that special on 20/20 awhile back" ..that pretty much works... the less people that know in my personal life the better... but it doesnt help when you're in the gym throwing up crazy poundages either...the real cool guys that are down with it...just walk by you and give you that nod of understanding.. they dont really try to spark up a conversation with you or anything..but they know whats up..and that shit is cool to me...thats why i'll be in the game till I get the senior citizen discount at dennys... and dont get me started about women... they are worst than men... especially if they are in a group...forget it...they have no shame and will come right up and pinch you are say some provocative shit in your ear...sometimes it takes more dedication not to cheat on my wife than it does with my diet and training..especially while on because i want to hump everything in site.............its an awesome feeling and I wouldnt trade it for anything in the world..its what strives me to keep going to the gym!
