At what moment did some of you bigger guys say to yourself "dang I am getting big"

I am actually the EXACT same size as everyone else at my gym. Its weird. Literally exact same. We even have the same chest hair patterns and do the same lifts with the same loads, at the same time! It's so weird!
...The fact that I work out in my home gym and the only others there are me in mirror land has nothing to do with it...
I do fucking love my home gym. I always hated driving to and from the gym, it feels like wasted time. I work from home so I just walk 30 feet from my office to my gym and am G2G. ...Plus I can fart as loud as I want to and only my reflection judges me. That is a huge plus for me!

It doesn't get much more convenient than that.
Didn't you learn anything from Mac in Always Sunny? Fat IS mass! Before he carved the statue of David, Michaelangelo ordered a big slab of marble!
I love it. Still have the same bench I got in my late teens. Powertec Olympic, very nice. I do enjoy being at the gym though. It is motivating and having a larger selection of machines is really nice. But not paying a membership fee is great and I didn't get shut down due to COVID as I already had my full setup from years prior. Pros and cons my man.

I’m 6’4 with a huge frame, about 245lb at the moment. Handsome face. Almost always the biggest guy in the room. Hot chicks hit on me. Gay guys hit on me.
Every morning when I wake up-
“Im starting to look ok”
Immediately following my coffee-
“fuck me I’m fat”
“do you even lift bro”
Its all in my head. People who reach their fullest potential don’t readily accept that they are good enough where they are.

Come on man, come to the dark side!

Honestly it's all about your perspective. The bigger you get, the smaller other people seem to get but you're the same dude. Lol. I've personally been told everything from, "Yeah, he's definitely on juice." To some fat girl once saying, "He was kind of smaller, basically like his size." As she's pointing right at me. Not sure if she was referring more to my body fat level because I live in a farm town and everyone is 30%+. Regardless, I was a bit salty after that. Haha.
The only thing that matters is you keep setting goals and working towards them. As long as you're constantly making progress that is honestly the only thing that should matter.

I try to add a few lbs every week to my exercises. Rowing sets of 190 now, curling 180 sets on cables, triceps extension and cable maxed out at 200. I'ma trying to be a big guy like y'all. Lot of work guys, thumbs up to all of y'all
Set the bar low and you'll feel great about yourself everyday! LMFAO.
I just had this convo with my GF lastnight. I get comments, looks, but I dont take any of it personally. Her girlfriends call me a beast and her trainer at her gym wanted to know if i competed. I don't like the attention honestly.
It took me 15 years to go from 170lbs. to 210lbs. So the journey to where I'm at now has been slow and consistent. The rate of change has been so slow and gradual I guess I just dont see what others do. And I dont care.
I love this lifestyle (fitness, OL lifting, not PED's) and plan my workouts with longevity in mind. I'm too old to care about being bigger than the guys with big ego's and something to prove.

That is awesome. Mine was 15-20 mins away and I just hate monthly fees, and since I already have equipment I just do it at home. When I had a gym membership included at my workplace I really liked that a lot since I would go after work and it was just up the hall. I gots shit ta do and lift 5-6 times a week, I aint trying to spend all that time commuting!!

I only feel that way on off-season, at that point I realise I’m putting on too much fat and water weight.
Only other people tell me I’m big, I never see it myself.

Walked into a restaurant today,after hitting the gym, it's a place I can eat fairly clean and middle of the road on price.
Sure enough the fat black waitress walked over and talked abt my build and appreciated the God-like stature she was getting the opportunity to serve.
Then the ex-con looking bus boy came over to talk to me about my tattoos, which ultimately was a great conversation with that mutual ex-incarcerated, pillow case curl, 1,000 pushups a day sort of respect for one another.
But the 3 good looking young waitresses up front? Nah, I go to walk out and this is wtf I hear coming from behind the front counter. "Nah....nah that is JUST TOO MUCH. Nah, that guy is overboard and it's way too much muscle for me"
Compliment or Not? I just don't know anymore....but that fat black waitress would have sucked the skin off dis' white boy pecka!!! Dats what I know!!!

Sounds like you have a shot at a three way with Big Shirley and Skinny Pete!
You're damn right I do...THANKS GYM!!!!
Now that's one hell of a story, lol.
I am not that big by any standards but slowly getting back there after having major setbacks due to serious injury especially to my head and back...but seeing results now are satisfying enough to keep me motivated.
So where’s the line? Lmao.
