The Things Us Bodybuilders Do Us bodybuilders live a crazy lifestyle. Some call us crazy,narcistic, and even hermits, but I call it dedication. We even do thingsthat we don`t realize we`re doing but when someone mentions it, we get alittle humor out of it. I dedicate this article to the bodybuilding.comforum members for making a thread that gave me a little extra comic relief.

When thinking of food, we think of it in terms of functionality,practicality, and finally taste, not the other way around. We have to leavea party or social even because we have to go eat meal #7. Hell, most of usdon`t even remember the fizz of soda, let alone what McDonald`s food tasteslike. I`m even starting to appreciate the taste of water, no wonder myparents don`t understand why I won`t sit down and have a family dinnerinstead of making my own food. When looking at foods, we look at the proteincontent before anything else. We even know the difference between oatmeal,rolled oats, and steel oats.

Your family is at the gym and you know everyone by name. When youhear the word cutting, you think of cardio, not scissors. Do we miss aworkout? Yeah right! We`ll skip that important business meeting or hot dateso that we can go and train legs. Then there are the guys at the gym whotrain biceps and chest everyday and then you about kill them after they tellyou that creatine is a sterioid. We don`t workout with friends becausechances are good that we trained that muscle group the day before. Wheneverwe see two parallel tables, we start doing dips, just for the fun of it.Pain is our best friend, every morning we wake up hoping to be sore and ifnot, then we know that we need to train that muscle group harder next week.

In school, people give us strange looks because we get up threedifferent times to take a leak. Sorry Mr. Biology Teacher, I`ve learned moreabout the human body from lifting than anything you`ve ever taught me. Wehave a whole cabinet or shelf just to hold our supplements because we takemore pills than our grandma who has arthritis and high blood pressure. Ourpecks are bigger than most of the freshman girls` and when we travel, wehave to buy two plane tickets just to be able to fit into the seats.

This article may sound funny to some of you but it is what usbodybuilders face on a daily basis. Bodybuilding is a rough lifestyle and isnot something everyone can do. My fellow bodybuilders understand where I`mspeaking from. We are a breed apart from the rest of the bunch and live inour own little sub-culture where the outsiders can`t hurt us. We will rise!
