uhh mite want to edit that one

[Steven1488]

Don't even bring up the shakes to them. If they ask you if you still take them, say, "No, I stopped a long time ago." It's none of their business anyways.

[lovingthepills]

I assume you are making one inbetween classes. Just down it fast and dont hang out and talk to people holding it. Let results speak for themselves.

[jim jones]

some guy in my science class tryed to teach me about nurtition and saying my diet was bad, how protien shakes are bad and how all supplements dont do anything but make you think that they work. anyways, this conversation ended up with him in the hospital knocked out with a broken jaw, and a week suspension for me.
just thought i would share a story.
anyways, if its girls telling you it, tell em that you stopped, if its a guy tell him to shut the hell up.

[ABaby]

TELL THEM THAT THE SEVERE ANGER PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH WHEY PROTEIN ARE GOING TO KICK IN AS YOU CRUSH THEIR HEAD.

Or tell them to shut up :].

[jehst]

I do the same thing that I do when someone tells me smoking buddha is bad for me:

I take an extra long pull and smile as I blow it at their face. Instead of that though, I'll take a big gulp of it and then sigh audibly on their face.

Works every time.

[2testicals]

rip your shirt off give them a little flex and say shut the fuk up!

[MarcTonk]

I just gave up on trying to tell even my good friends that give me crap about it. I even say "ignorance" to them to haha. But we give each other crap all the time so me saying something like that to them is no big deal.

To each their own.

hmmm interesting how people rag on you i too get called roid boy by a guy whose biceps are as big as my forearms but mostly i been getting a lot more respect and a lot more people talk to me since they see im getting a littel bigger so they also train and its good cause im only spreading the disease of bodybuilding

only problem is they drink and smoke and lift that dont mix with my lifestyle!

[ThrusH]

since my school is 90% chinese/korean, im huge compared to them.

I have to admit, if this wasn't posted at a bodybuilding forum then it'd mean a whole nother thing.


Just let them know what it is that you are taking and if they are too thick skulled to hear you out or listen then just say f*ck you then you should go lift. Theres not much you can really do about those guys. When I was taking creatine people told me that I was taking steroids and thought it was completely illegall because they had no idea. Basically, I kept taking creatine and let them know that it wasn't and that they are retarded.

[fuze11]

lol let them say what they want.. use it as motivation.

[BigJohn308]

The only intelligent answer so far. Too many "tough" talkers in here. It matters not what anyone feels about your protein shakes. Think about it for a minute and decide, is it worth spending even one second worrying about?

[Derk 5oFox]

Ask them if they eat protein. Tell them whey is just another source that is readily absorbed by the body, especially after a workout.

[lee wright]

2 be honest it used to happen to me. once your arms start geting to 16inch + people start respesting what you do and you get hardly any people slagging off the fact you are drinking a protein shake. i dont no what kinda shape ur in but seriously once u got muscle people change their attitude ( thats what happened in my case anyway). hope that helps lee

[astroxaun]

Say "I know what i'm doing and i don't need u to tell me anything about protein shakes thanks"

Mature and cool

[FormReverend]

The sad truth is that 90 percent of the populace will come to their own conclusions about things without doing a damned bit of research. From a bunch of different cases of hearsay a person will just have a stance on something, which in the case of bodybuilding is negative. People are ignorant like that. I know for most of us who read and research as much as we actually lift it can be totally infuriating and frustrating to hear someone spout their mindless garbage that they are regurgitating from some other lame source, you just have to give up trying to educate other people because they usually don't want to be educated. Once you get the results that you are looking for, they are going to have to make a choice between respecting what you do, or just writing your gains off as some sort of under the table approach. No matter what, keep doing your thing, and know in your own mind that you are leaps and bounds ahead of the pack because you are using science and training, a truly awesome combination.

[Ali15]

LMAO. Just tell him 2 shut the fcuk up.
when ever i take a protein shake every1 stares at me and be be like
