I'm 6'2 180ish lbs. I have workedout for many years, I have an athletic physique.

My family are landwhales for the most part. I don't say , " Wow , you are eating yourself to an early grave " or " Holy crap , how damn big are you going to get ? "

What should I say next time they make that remark ?

I had a skinny faggot coworker ask me once "jokingly" in front of everyone if I was on steroids. I just asked him back if he was on heroin. Awkward silence, no more faggot jokes.

If someone fat started making comments about my body I would say "if you don't stop making negative comments on how I look, I will start making negative comments on how you look". We both know who would be crying.

I kinda chalk it up to their own insecurities , but it really is rude. They are family so I give alot of leeway , maybe I'll tell them I'm battling anorexia, lol.

"I'd eat better but you finished all the food."

You look unhealthy to fat people who want to eat you when the food shortages turn us cannibal.

" Wow , you are eating yourself to an early grave " or " Holy crap , how damn big are you going to get ? "

You already know what to say.

My family aren't ham planet size, but they're fat. I lost 70 lbs over the last year and instead of being happy for me they say things like, "you're too skinny to be healthy." They try and use peer pressure to get me to eat their poison. "Just this one time won't hurt."

My BMI is 21, which is nowhere near "too skinny."

Crabs in a bucket. They want to believe it's just guh-netics but when someone loses weight it disproves that so they root against you.

I am 162 and 5'10". Everyone acts like Im anorexic but I am on the higher green end of the BMI.

Maybe you should say, " Wow , you are eating yourself to an early grave " or " Holy crap , how damn big are you going to get ? ". Bullies will do what they want, until put in their place. Same for passive-aggressive types. Letting them skate by is all the incentive needed to continue. A little role reversal fun is in order.

I think that would be in poor taste , but challenging their remarks is in order

Most people have no idea what normal looks like anymore. They're all surrounded by so many fat fucks, and they're all obese too, they actually believe it's normal.

I just pull up BMI charts on my phone and ask them their height and weight.

At 6'2", the top end of normal (eg. 25 BMI) is 186lbs plus or minus 10% if you're muscular or have a small frame. That means unless you're a fucking beast in the gym, you shouldn't weigh more than about 205 or you're fat.

Plenty of strong men are also fat, which is sometimes a byproduct of eating the calories needed to gain muscle, but that's really a totally different thing than the average butter-huffer.

I think BMI is a bit generous too. You're right so many pods of landwhales it's become normalized

Alright buddy. 180 @ 6'2" makes you a bit of a skinny bitch. Now, that's obviously far preferable to being a beetus hamplanet, but looking like a soccer player/runner is not an "athletic physique"

Of course I agree that Pepsi and Cheeto lords have no place remarking on anybody else's physical appearance. Wanna get them to shut the fuck up? Pack on 30 lbs of muscle. Then you will look "healthy".

For reference, I'm barely 5'10 and woke up this morning at 185. I just finished my workout for the night which consisted of:

Squat @ 375 x 3 x 5 Overhead press @ 155 x 3 x 5 Deadlift @ 415 x 1 x 5

Im one of those genetically gifted types that naturally carry very little body fat, and might be what you would call a "hard gainer". I look like I lift weights, but I'd like to get to 200 lbs.

For you, getting to 210 and getting your squat to 400 would be a good start.

I'm an old fart , do incline flys with 40lb superset with 75lb incline db press for sets of 15plus.

Dip sets of 15 with 45lb plate on belt

Chin ups for 12-15

Squats 225 for 15-20

No monster ,but no bitch

Pretty respectable numbers, but still doing exercises on an aerobic end of what weights and sets should be to stimulate muscle growth.

You'd have to quantify "old fart" for me, but I'm sure you could still pack on some good muscle mass by lowering your reps and increasing the weight you're lifting.

For example, instead of doing 225 for 20 on your squats, do 275 for 8. Instead of supersetting your presses, do them as a stand alone exercise with 100 lbs for 10. Your body will adapt to the stimulus of higher intensity for shorter duration by putting on mass, provided you are eating enough protein and sleeping enough to recover.

I like what I once heard Stan Efferding say: "Big muscles aren't built in the gym. They are built in the kitchen and the bedroom."
