Why is people like this? They're fat/skinnyfat men and women, they have never touched a single weight in their lives and their job is to just sit in front of a computer all day.
Why do they feel the need to do this shit with someone who's new at the place?
I was so stressed one of these days that my mind was thinking of just hopping on roids to get big and prove people wrong. I've done so much work in a year, I went from a depressed 10 year NEET to actually having some kind of life progress but it feels like it doesn't matter, people just want to judge and make fun of you.
Lifts for this?

women always try to disprove others than improve themselves.
just be stronger? if your lifting doesn't transfer then how you are lifting is wrong
I did get stronger, I couldn't even bench the bar when I started and now I'm on my way to a 2pl8, I started Deadlifting 1pl8 and I can DL almost 3pl8. I was 130lbs when I started, the issue is, going up and downstairs with heavy weight can be dangerous, you don't do these kind of motions at the gym, it'd be like doing stairmaster while having 100kg in ur hands, that's why I try to preserve my health and not try to ego lift at my job
That’s where you are wrong your bench may be good but you only have a 3 plate DL? Your legs are only barely stronger than your arms.
Maybe some people don't lift so that they can wageslave harder for no additional benefit?
Man they’re probably just fricking with you. Frick with em back but in a light-hearted, fun way. Don’t be moronic about it and you may make friends.
This. I learnt this when I was an overly sensitive 17 year old who took everything too seriously through school. As soon as I started firing back everything got way better. I remember the moment I did it, everyone laughed their ass off, all focus was off whatever thing they were making fun of me for and onto the other guy. But I realised it was all light hearted male banter, keep it lighthearted in return.
Exactly. I read shit like
and it’s a sad realization that most of you are fricking socially moronic and have never had friends frick with you in light-hearted fun way. It’s about keeping it casual and light, trying to make others smile and joking around with the group. If you can get good at non-serious banter you’ll be amazed at how far it can take you.
I used to have a warehouse stocking job and I got asked about the gym before. I only got compliments like “I can tell you’ve been working out because your forearm is bulging” when I was lifting some heavy tiles, and was called “big man” even though I was like 185lbs skinny shredded. I’m like 215lbs lean now and I would understand “big guy” now. It’s the halo effect of being 6’3” and I’m afraid you’re short and ugly if this is a problem for you.
>They're fat/skinnyfat men and women
Make them pay. Leave notes on their food in the fridge saying they're too fat to be eating this much. Sprinkle laxatives in their food. Assault one of the men outside of working hours. Bring a 30lb dumbbell to work, and get them to try to do a regular supinated curl. When they get it wrong, correct their form down to the minutia. Leave no critique left behind -- they gave you the same courtesy.
>Lifts for this?
Boxing classes. Learn how to throw a jab and cross if you don't already. Feel the electricity go up your arm, and remember how beneath you they are.
Autism
Even 12 year Olds can curl a 30 lb db
>>"if I lifted for a year id be bigger"
>>"are you sure ur training and eating right?"
Just don't respond when they say something like this, the awkwardness they'll feel will cause them to stop making those comments
>Lifts for this?
Zercher deadlifts
This is effective way to make people stop, but only when they're expecting a reaction, like during a conversation
If they're just spitting out insults, they just see it as a free pass to insult
Just laugh and poke fun at them. Theyd probably laugh back too if theyre normal
The expression "damned if you do, damned if you don't" applies here, all lifelong. People will always find a way to make fun of anything and everything. Rise above!
Uh oh Anon needs some body positivity in the work place.
Dont listen to them
You'll get there, make sure you lift harder now though.
Any muscle you struggle with growing make sure you look into it HARD (dont make my mistake of being stuck on 5 pull ups for a year because I couldnt bother creating a good strategy)
Make sure you pump the muscles hard at the end of every session, if the light weight is taken to failure you'll have a slight pump for days
tl;dr Just train harder and suck it up
>dont make my mistake of being stuck on 5 pull ups for a year because I couldnt bother creating a good strategy
What was your strategy?
Los
E weight
5x5 twice a week
you need to train pull ups really often
I started doing 20 reps everyday and they're only getting easier
also: partial repetitions, they help with volume and sticking points once you cant do full pull ups anymore
That's what's increasing my pull ups in record time, I can do 9 in a row now
You're probably reading the situation wrong, they're just busting your balls. But the way you talk about your coworkers you definitely have an elitist attitude, maybe they're picking up on that. If you really were a 10 year NEET, be open to the idea that you're socially inept and you will be for awhile until you get your footing. If you're a pleasant person to be around, other people become more pleasant to be around as well. People get hired for their skills, they get fired for their personalities.
You're probably a manlet and have shit genetics. Honestly just give up they're right
Banter back and say you were a recluse who did nothing but Plat video games for 10+ hours a day.
JUST [clap] GOING [clap] TO [clap] THE [clap] GYM [clap] DOES [clap] NOT [clap] MEAN [clap] YOU [clap] WILL [clap] AUTOMATICALLY [clap] MAKE [clap] GAINS [clap]!!!
Anon... if the people around you think you look dyel... you are dyel. Eat more, lift more.
what is this cringe female tik tok posting you are doing with the clapping
I was feeling zesty. Should've inserted [gunshot]s. Think Uncle Dom talked about OP's topic in one of his older vids.
I've done construction before, the frickery isn't actually slights against you. They're testing you to see how you respond. I promise you it only gets worse for you if you respond poorly. Give a good hearty, but honest response. Smile more and stay focused. Love u bro
>if I lifted for a year id be bigger
Out of shape morons are funny
>YOU KNOW IF I ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING I'D BE LIKE THE BEST EVAH BRO TRUST ME
In my experience I've met more people that have benched 315 at some point than there are actual people on the planet that can bench 315.
>"are you sure ur training and eating right?"
its always the obese ones that ask this question
In your first 1-2 years of training you will make over half of your lifetime gains. So if you’re still small, they have every right to mock you. Train harder homosexual
Joke back. It's normal male bonding. I don't understand why everyone here is behaving like autistic virgins.
>>"if I lifted for a year id be bigger"
Call him on his bluff
Say you will go with him to the gym and see how the gay does
I didn't read your post, but i have a story to share
>female coworker says i look like i don't lift
>fast forward a few weeks
>she gets demoted
>I'm going to get promoted next month
Who is the dyel now? Heh
You're getting hazed, everyone goes through this
Don't take it too seriously. They probably aren't even trying to be mean. It's probably just banter. Also stop being weak lol
just rape him
