Anyone else get slightly irate at lifting-related “compliments”? I get these a lot. The other day I was benching lmao2pl8 and some guy came up to me after my set and did a whole “yo holy fuck that was incredible!” It’s so patronizing!! I’m a respectable intermediate lifter but people pretend my respectable intermediate lifts are acts of God because apparently I look like a bitch. I’m 5’1” and perhaps a little mousy; I know I’ll never be big or imposing but you don’t have to rub it in like that! It stings a little when some random acts impressed with my lmao1.5pl8 warmup while paying no attention to the average sized guy lifting the same next to me. I’ve been asked if I needed a spot on 95 lbs. Ninety-fucking-five!! People have come up to me after sets and been like “damn, even I can’t do that”. Tf you mean even?!? Someone once told me watching me lift more than him made him want to kill himself. Of course I graciously accept the compliments because I don’t want to come off like an asshole but it gets on my nerves sometimes. I wasn’t insecure about my size or physique until I started lifting; now it seems like it’s all anyone notices about me. Am I crazy for feeling like this? Big guys, do you get over-the-top compliments on mediocre lifts? I might be overthinking this.
>5'1
Also, is that the Alverde Feuchtigkeitshairconditioner, with Granatapfel?

Oh yeah. It's real autism hours.

People are used to seeing popcorn-muscle influencers who get big on drugs but have little strength. So they are impressed when they see relative strength and athleticism.
I feel you dude, I'm short and a friend of mine said I had "hidden strength" and "didn't look strong" kind of annoying, but you do impress people being small pushing weight
I’ll take any compliment I can get
Hgh ai asap.
You know when they say 2pl8s, they mean 2plates per side. 4plates total.
If pic related is you there's no way you bench 2pl8s, homosexual
>Benching 2pl8
>Look like that
Holy fuck natty lifting is such a meme. I've seen roidtrannies who can only bench that for 5 reps who look like a better version of Brad Pitt from Troy
Natty lifting is a meme, I thought it was well know
OP here, I'm just fucking with you. I can only bench lmao1plate but also dont give a fuck about chest.
I'm a lanklet skelly fag currently bulkin
nice larp retard that chest + natty can easily half rep 225 for 8.
try doing lmao3pl8 for four inches and only scream after you rerack it people will be in awe
if it makes you feel any better i bench 3pl8 and look worse than that @ 167lbs
I can't even bench 1 plate.
You shouldn’t tease manlets like this anon, they have it hard enough
You're larping but this actually happens to me, I'm 5'6 (from a midget country) 65kg and people are always looking in awe when I rep 65kg (1plmao8) for 8.
Sure it's a pathetic weight but it's pretty much my bodyweight and no other shortkings at my gym can rep that.
I don't deadlift much either but even 2plmao8 get people looking at me.
>I’m 5’1”
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
stopped reading there dude, stop being a sperg and be thankful normal people are complimenting you instead of just picking you up and manhandling you so they can use the bench
I always take every compliment someone gives me as a backhanded insult. I don't know why. In my head they're fucking with me, or patronizing me.This goes for anything, fitness related or other.
Ours is the age of mediocrity, NPCs will pretend average is amazing to feel better about themselves being utter failures.
