“I’d look like that too if I took steroids”
Sure, let’s just ignore the fact that natural bodybuilding exists.. (and is growing at that)
Let’s also ignore all the hard training sessions, proper meals, early nights, high grocery bills, gym memberships and absolutely everything that the people discrediting us DO NOT DEAL WITH‼️
The hardest part about bodybuilding to me is dealing with the people who just don’t get it. They use every excuse under the sun to justify the box of Oreos and 6 pack of beer that they think they deserve - and can never take accountability when their inevitable health issues arrive
See now, it’s typically easy to ignore these people, especially strangers and dorks in the comments. But the actual challenge is when it comes to your friends and family…
The people closest to you can easily derail a good prep or completely ruin the relationship altogether.
All because they don’t understand and aren’t willing to learn.
So rather than wasting your time educating someone who doesn’t give a f**k to begin with. Just remember that not everyone will agree with you and that’s okay, but they also can’t force you to do a thing.

The next time you’re dealing with an ignorant person:
1. Listen to what they say, nod and keep note of their opinion
2. The next time that person tries to guilt you - “I’m not hungry, thanks” or “it was nice seeing you, I have to go”
That’s it. If they have a problem with that, obviously something deeper is going on and they need to work on themselves.
The point of this is, just like the ignorant people have the right to their own opinions. You have the right to do whatever the f**k you want ✊🏼
