Do guys feel uncomfortable around bodybuilders?

[sandals]

Does the average guy feel somewhat inferior around bodybuilders? As guys we are always "sizing up" other
guys, but some guys try not to look in fear they may
viewed as homosexuals, or raise some deep-seeded
homosexual fantasies. Or does the presence of a BB
next to them instill a lower self esteem?

What ? I look at huge body builders and it motivates me to train as hard as I can to look as best as I possably can even though there physique is almost un-attainable by the avarage person cause they don't have the time, money or genetics to look like that.

I'm with Mustang, I train at well known gym with some world class powerlifters and bodybuliders and when you see them train it just motivate the fuck out of me and makes me train harder. Just don't stare to long cause you will be viewed a homo. Later!!

I'm no HUGE bodybuilder yet, but even I notice that "average" guys seem intimidated around me. Especially if their women are with them. They don't make eye contact much and don't usually strike up conversations unless i talk to them first. I think it's probably natural to be a little insecure when you're around someone who looks a lot better than you.

I'm intimidated by everyone.

hey you staring at me?

 

[Behemoth]

nobody to look at......

At our gym, me and my workout partner are the biggest guys around. That's why I spend alot of time here....looking for motivation. I'm not bragging by no means....I'm 296 now and my bodyfat is 20%. But this place is so backwards.....Arkansas that is .

I am not intimidated. I don't feel inadequate next to a guy bigger than me, nor do i necessarily feel superior to a guy smaller than me.
Also every body builder I have met has been nice. Contrary to the stereotype of the raging monster.

I admire people i see at my gym that are closer to my goals than I am. I am comfortable enough with myself to see that and not worry that they may think I am gay.

I AGREE 100%. THE BIGGER THE GUYS ARE IN MY GYM, THE BETTER. MORE MOTIVATION. I LOVE IT. I AM ACTUALLY GOING TO QUIT MY PUSSY-ASS 1/2 FAG GYM TO FIND A HARDCORE ONE WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ATTITUDES AS OUR BOARD MEMBERS.

LOL...Your an alright guy when you're not talking shit to me.

I look at the big boys pushin' mad weight around the gym as inspiration to work my ass off. Hopefully someday I could be half as big as some of the dudes out there.

What the Christ are you talking about? Do I feel homosexual urges when I look at bb's? Uh, nope - no wood there. I feel comfortable looking so long as they can't see me looking and I try to avoid focusing on the glutes. Also, word of advice, don't go around slapping bb's asses and saying, "Man alive! You're glutes are tight bro! Could you show me the form you use on squats? Oh, and do 'em real slow like and flare your ass out a bit for me just so that I can get a feel for the sexual....er, strengthening exercise."

 

[rushx79]

no, i am never uncomfortable around myself.

As a bodybuilder I sometimes feel uncomfortable around all the regular skinny guys at my gym because they stare at me when I take a shower. I hate it when people stare at me and I want to yell "what the fuck are you looking at you homo!!!". (no offense to homosexuals- I just don't like heteros or homos staring at me when I shower, it's not like I have a big johnson or anything like that to look at)

o.k. o.k I have a lot of test running through me and pretty much anyone looking at me pisses me off.

Yes it does feel good, actually feels great. I'm on week 4 of 12 weeks of my biggest cycle ever. Can't wait to post a few pics afterwords. Just keep lifting hard and you can be as big as you envision yourself to be. Oh yeah, don't forget to bring the test....

 

[MUSTANG_18]

Trust me...I will never forget that heh heh heh

I would say I admire more than be intimidated - kinda like getting stoked reading a muscle mag and
wanting to head to the gym and do damage to the muscles. My stats are 220lbs 6'0 and there are guys
in my gym who started out at 150lbs and have ended up being big as shit weighing 275 over the years
Its not the same with them. Maybe because I have a mental image of them being small.

 

[Trevdog]

No I'm not intimidated. I'm motivated.

There are a couple of pretty dedicated powerlifters at my gym. These m0f0s are loud, obnoxious, and silly. But they are strong and they are really good guys. A few days ago this kid about 20 years old who weighs about 190 was squatting 460. He got 3 good reps.

You could be on the other end of the gym and hear his partner getting psyched up and doing a set of cleans or deadlifts. It goes like this, "YEAH BABY! GIDDYUP! YEP! YEP! YEP! YEP! YEP! YEP!" [Repeat Yep sequence with YEP!s getting closer and closer together] then... "HUP! ONE! HUP! TWO! HUP! THREEE!"...and so on.


I love having them around. It is entertaining and it really does inspire me to see people giving 110%.

 

[solidspine]

I am a body builder, how could I feel uncomfortable around other body builders?

 

[str8cubano]

I remember a long time ago when i was 17, i asked one of the big football players in my gym, what's the best thing i can do to get big....and he looked at me and said, D-BOL and a little test. Well 5 years later...here i am

 

[T Bone]

No, i'm intimidated by 150lb guys that spank 220lber's on the mat.

However, I am impressed by them though.
