27) You buy supplements that say 'Joe Weider'(or GNC, 24 Hour Fitness, Bally's, etc.) on thebottle/package somewhere.

28) After 6 months, you buy supplements out of a trainer's trunk that say 'Joe Weider'(or GNC)for twice as much(price label torn off) because they say powerful things on the label like,"TURBO", followed by words like 'Nor', 'Ano', 'DHEA', 'Ripped', 'Thermo', 'Siberian', Chinese','Extract', 'Lean', 'Andro', 'Tribulus', 'HMB', etc.

29) You bench with a 24", or less, grip and you're not working tri's.

38) You ask a trainer, "When I'm squatting heavy, say, with 185 lbs, do I include mybodyweight?"

39) You tell every high-schooler at the gym that you are a former champion bodybuilder/powerlifter yet can't name the federation or dates you competed in when a real lifter calls you on it.

40) You have a Rolodex full of excuses of why you don't squat or deadlift.

41) You warn everyone about how bad free weights are for you yet praise every new machine

that claims to feel just like free weights.

42) One word superslow

43) You claim that everyone who benches more than 250lbs (with free weights) is obviously juiced.

44) (related to above) you spend hours walking through the aisles of your supermarket looking for this magical juice that everyone is talking about.

45) You claim that everyone who uses steroids is a cheater and loser, yet you run out and buy every new supplement that is supposed to work just like steroids.

46) You get upset when people are squatting in the power rack, which prevents you from doing your bicep curls.

47) People are surprised to hear that you've been working out for the past 10 years.

48) You can't understand why training arms for 2 hours a day, 3 days a week for the past month hasn't packed on the mass.

49) You do BP reps to within 8" of your chest (that's how coach taught it in high school) but if the bar drifts 1/2" lower, the full 135 lb bar comes crashing down.

50) You tell everyone that you can bench 300 but your reps (2 man rows) have not built up your chest at all but your spotter has a world-class set of traps.

51) A serious lifter asks you for a spot with a very heavy negative rep. He tells you to help lift the weight after a short pause at the bottom. After a 10 SECOND pause, you're still leaning overand yelling, "It's ALL YOU MAN! ..LOCK IT OUT!!!"

52) You use the smith machine to do any exercise!

53) You don't know the difference between weightlifters, bodybuilders, and powerlifters.

54) You ask people stupid questions while they are lifting.

57) You wear running shoes to squat with.

58) You lift weights between games of "bball."

59) You don't do any compound movements, but spend hours doing "iso's."

60) You bench press with either foot off the ground.

61) MOST WEENIE TRAIT YOU TALK ON YOUR DAMNED CELL PHONE WHILEWORKING OUT,.or anywhere within the confines of the gym, INCLUDING the locker room, sauna, etc.

62) Squatting with a piece of padded material on your back large enough to double as an RV tarp.

63) You do any "2-man" anything exercises, such as 2-man curls, 2-man rows (bench press), 2-man dumbbell flys (18+ forced reps beyond failure), 2-man pull-ups (one does 1/4 bodyweight pull-ups, partner does the other 3/4ths), 2-man cable curls (with 40 lbs or less, partner nearly lifts you off the floor with help while the weenie screams in agony), and any other 2-man crap.....

64) You wear knee wraps (on your knees) to bench press, leg press, overhead press, press your shirts/pants....ANYTHING other than doing squats or walkouts.

65) You frequent ANY fitness web site forum pertaining to weightlifting (PL, OL, BB) and slam others whose jocks you couldn't carry, even with wrist straps, attack others while never adding anything of substance

A sure sign a lifter has weenie legs is that while he may be wearing a spaghetti strap tank top he'll be wearing spandex, ankle-length, AND sweat pants or parachute pants over top of them.

Even most of the bodybuilders in my gym wear long pants to hide their weenie legs and girl calves, while showing off their upper body. I've been a member of my gym since the day it opened and have rarely seen a bodybuilder do a set of back squats to parallel. When they do they wear 9 meter knee wraps over 2 pairs of sweats, a 10 lb plate under each heel and a 'Big Dog' 12" high-in-the-back-2"-high-in-the-front weight belt with a 'Superman' insignia in the back (this is true! a guy in my gym wears one!).

Fun to watch though. Gives us something to laugh about.
