you know you're a BBer when:

[Lones Green]

stolen from T-nation, i thought these were pretty funny.


When your chest is bigger than your girlfriends

When you refuse a slice of your own birthday cake

When you take more pills than your grandma, who has arthritis and high blood pressure.

When you've learned more about the human body from lifting than in Biology class.

When you can't wait to fall asleep and see what your ZMA dreams will be.

When you begin to appreciate the taste of water.

When you schedule your college classes around your workout

When you leave a party to eat meal #7.

When you see the people at your gym more than your family.

When you can't remember what fast food or soda tastes like.

When you can't fit into a phone booth no matter how hard you try.

When people give you weird looks when you get up three times in one class to go to the bathroom.

When you have your alarm set for meal times

When doctors can't stick needles into you because your muscles are too hard.

When your girlfriend asks to watch a movie and you immediately pull out "The Unbelievable"

When you refer to a girl's ass as her glutes

When you curse after every last set of an exercise

When you get turned on when you see a sexy girl lifting weights...and not because of the girl

When you want to violently attack the next person who thinks that creatine is a steroid.

When you switch hands while brushing your teeth, just so your left arm gets the same workout as your right arm.

When you think of cardio, not scissors, when you hear the word "cutting."

When your mom cooks two turkeys at Thanksgiving: one for you, one for the family.

When you wake up late and freak out not because you missed class but because you missed a scheduled meal.

When you look at certain objects like a Bobcat Skidsteer and wonder if you can deadlift the front of it off the ground.

When you know all the good food specials in your town, and you are extremely prompt in showing up to get them.

When you eat a meal BEFORE you go out for a meal.

When you can count by 45's.

When you go to meet a friend in a public place and EVERYONE in the room starts to stare a little, then you realise your the biggest guy in the place.

when your closet is full of t-shirts that have the neck stretched out

[Sidior]

ZMA dreams really are ****ed!

[Tofer]

I would not, and will never consider myself a "bodybuilder" but that list was dead on, and had me laughing out loud at times, simple because it was so true.

"When you refuse a slice of your own birthday cake" - Wow, I did that last year. I felt slightly bad, but I just can't eat anything like that anymore.

"When you've learned more about the human body from lifting than in Biology class" - Haha... sad, but true.

"When you begin to appreciate the taste of water" - This had me cracking up. I've come to actually tell the difference between brands and types of water and people think I'm a complete nut for it.

"When you schedule your college classes around your workout" - It was definitely a big consideration when I was making my schedule each term.

"When you leave a party to eat meal #7" - I've done this numerous times.

"When you can't remember what fast food or soda tastes like" - I can no longer see the appearl in them either. Even smelling fast food a couple years ago would have been enough to set me off, but now it only makes me feel sick.

"When you have your alarm set for meal times" - Who doesn't? Oh... right.

"When you get turned on when you see a sexy girl lifting weights...and not because of the girl" - Haha, I know I'm not alone in this.

"When you want to violently attack the next person who thinks that creatine is a steroid" - And on that note, I hate when people asking me if I'm "using" protein, like I'm injecting it into my body or something.

"When you think of cardio, not scissors, when you hear the word "cutting." " - Honestly, it's the first thing that pops into my mind. Just like when someone asks you what day it is, and the first thing you think about it which lifting day it is.

"When you wake up late and freak out not because you missed class but because you missed a scheduled meal" - It's so true. I feel like I've cheated myself when this happens.

"When you eat a meal BEFORE you go out for a meal." - If weight gainer shakes count, then yup.

"When you can count by 45's" - This probably applies to everyone on this site who isn't on the fancy SI system of kilos.

"When you go to meet a friend in a public place and EVERYONE in the room starts to stare a little, then you realise your the biggest guy in the place" - Well, not entirely. I think people stare because I'm usually the tallest guy in the place. When I go to the mall I constantly feel like there must be food stuck in my teeth or something. Very uncomfortable.

"when your closet is full of t-shirts that have the neck stretched out" - I blame this on my big head.

[Jordanbcool]

I have done sooo many things on that list. The extra turkey for thanksgiving is so true. And I've told a girl shes had nice glutes before

[nhlfan]

When you can count by 45's.

hahah that is so true

[hoser813]

actually yesterday I set my phone alaram for when I needed to eat because I had a lot of stuff going on.... and my mom did make two turkeys last year

[1mmort4l]

LOL, i like that. I find 90% of that to be everyday truths.
Good find...

[Jordanbcool]

O yea. And now EVERY TIME i hear "cutting" I automatically think of some miserable bodybuilder surviving off water and minimal protein. haha

[crazedwombat]

Thought of some more while working out:

When you see a woman (in or out of the gym) and appreciate her shoulders and back before the T&A

When as a kid you were happiest when a new flavor of ice cream came out and now you're estatic when ALN comes out with a new protein flavor

[BigCorey75]

i can count by 45's like clock work, i do schedule alot of this around my workout time

dont leave too many parties tho, love the taste of water and now i beging denying myself sweet treats, but hey its all for the end goal right...

[Hatred]

LOL. This was a pretty good one.

[Three]

You know you're a bodybuilder when you eat a meal before going to someone else's house for dinner in case their meal doesn't have enough protein.

[accuFLEX]

^ hahah I do that all the time!

[Roddy]

i was laughing out loud at pretty much all of those. I dont consider myself a body builder, but ya i can relate to 98% of those things, LOL

[hoser813]

or how about this one...

"when someone asks you what day it is and you say 'Leg Day'"

[beatlesfreak]

When your wife asks if you've seen her "curling iron" and you say "no, but I'd sure love to."

OK, lame, but thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

[AzBboy]

I noticed I straighten my back and stick my ass out when i go to sit in a chair.

[d'Anconia]

When you won't donate blood because it'll take a litre of gain away from your bulk.

[Bikkstah]

or how about this one...

"when someone asks you what day it is and you say 'Leg Day'"

I do this a lot and only my roommates get it.

[Justin R]

lol, hillarious.
