Why are non-lifters so judgmental? I don't mean to one-up people but people always take the fact that I lift the wrong way.

Just another day on fit.

"Sometimes. Push-ups and Situps." Would have solved your problem.
>>
>>36218956
First off, pretend you're a normie.. That its a genetic and you only workout like once a month..

Normies love it when fit ppl lie and say its all genetic, that way they can pretend that there's nothing they can do about their bodies and continue on being fat pigs
>>
>>36218956
Don't talk about your fucking routine. Just say "yeah, here and there" or "when I get a chance to" and they will mire, go about their day and think you are a cool/smooth dude.

There's your problem you fucking autist

Smug twat. I hope you didn't get the job so you have time learning about humility
>>

>start talking about my routine and split and asking them about theirs

bro, this is /fit/izen 101. you DON'T talk about your routine with normies unless they explicitly ask you what you do. if they ask do you work out just say "yes." or "yeah every now and then."
>>
>>36219031
This works
>>
Are you even English? I thought you people knew how to act as if you had put no effort into anything at all.

Never go into detail like a true autist.

Chuckle, say "Yeah I do" then change the subject to normie topics.

>stop looking at me, pervert.

It's like...you don't even know how to speak to people. What was this job you're not getting?
>>
>>36218956
Why couldn't you have just said yes?

Jk I already know the answer. Autism.
>>
"Yeah I do some bodyweight stuff."

That's all i ever say.

These.

Don't reveal your power level in front of normalfags. You should know this shit already.
>>
>>36218956
Think about it if the conversation was about clothes

>Hey anon! that's a nice shirt, is it expensive?

>Yeah it's Thom Browne! Cost me $600 and is hand made in New York. It's probably one of the nicest shirts you can buy. Who designed your shirt and how much did it cost?

Don't use a compliment to make others feel inferior, just say "thank you" and when they ask if you work out say "yeah, I try to keep myself in shape". Don't be a fucking sperg.

>Let's see Paul Allen's gains.
>>
>>36218956

God I hope this is a joke.

If someone asks if you work out, you say yes. That's it. Unless they then ask you more questions about it.

The same can be said of almost any other activity. It sounds like you are just socially awkward, brother.
>>
>>36219031
Why? Thats a blatant lie

Were you fishing for brownie points from the directors?

Look at those subtle striations and veins... The tasteful thickness of his arms... Oh my god, his abs even line up perfectly...
>>
>>36220277
Next time someone asks me if I work out I will tell 'em Wii Fit and Zumba. You are a mad man but I love it.
>>
>>36220310

just say "nah, i surf"
>>
>>36220233

holy shit that got me so good.
>>
>>36218956
all these people saying to lie and say you do some pushups and situps and all that. There's no need to fucking lie. Tell them you work out. But leave it at that. Spare them the details.


You need to realize that literally nobody gives a shit about your workout routine. Unless they specifically ask.


ESPECIALLY on a job interview. I mean come on man.

Seriously. You don't have to lie. If they ask if you work out...say yes. But leave it at that. Nobody wants to hear your routine or your stupid fad diet.
>>
OP are you one of those people who have to go into detail about every lift they do every day? My old roommate used to come home and try to tell me, in order, every exercise he did that day, on what station, for how many sets and reps. I lift and I don't give a shit what stupid routine you did, so why would DYELs?

why the fuck did you go full autismo (dont try to play it off like you didnt) when someone just asked- probably offhandedly- if you worked out.

lmfao senpaimilia

>wasting an opportunity to make an impression during an interview

The worst thing to be on an interview is boring
>>
>>36220295
Good thing im a paramedic then

>>36218956
They felt threaten by your superior body (compared to theirs).

>The worst thing to be on an interview is boring

How about being an unlikable asshole? Is that better or worse than boring?
>>
>>36220418

Not surprising
>>
>>36220414

As someone who has lifted for 5+ years, nothing bores me more than every time some fucktard comes up to give me a story about his routine when I didn't ask for it
>>
>>36220440

You realize there is another option, right? You make a joke and show that you're personable and easy going. Now you stand out because everyone remembers a good joke. No one remembers the quite guy who doesn't say anything interesting
>>
>>36218956
>One of them asks if I work out
Okay.
>I say yes
Fine.
>and start talking about my routine and split and asking them about theirs
Yup, you're retarded. No one asked you what your routine was. Shut the fuck up, dork.
>>
Never really being up lifting unless somebody talks about it first.

But admitting to cardio is totally okay.
>>
>>36220446

Exactly, when someone asks if you workout you don't talk about your workout. You make a joke and steer the conversation to something else. Vague, one word answers are horrible
>>
>>36218956

They weren't being judgmental, they were just put off by your lack of social awareness. You're not gonna get the job.
>>
>>36218956
Dude, if people ask "Do you work out?" you don't fucking say yes and then start telling them your routine and how hard you work. You just say "Sometimes" and leave it at that. Why would you be so autistic OP?
>>
>>36219453
holy shit is that an ACTUAL #257???

>>36218956


>I say yes and start talking about my routine and split and asking them about theirs

Were you saying all this in a low pitch monotone voice?

Never EVER reveal your power level in front of normalfags.
Especially normalfags that work in professional services.
