I say I don’t care if I’m strong, but much like a natty, I want to be better than everyone else, and I want them to know it. so as much as I try to just look bigger and leaner than every scumbag that gets in my way at the gym, I still try to lift more too.
But my ego is damn near dead by now. 140lb 19 year olds are always looking at what I’m lifting being 100lbs bigger than them and I don’t want to let them down too badly. As long as I’m inclining 4 plates minimum, they will keep chasing me, always going home to eat 1400cals a day and spending their gym time maxing on bench 1 set and the next hour on pulley curls, same workout 4 days a week.
