not towards other people, but towards yourself? I had such an amzing workout last night, when i finished my last set I just wanted to yell "and thats how it's done" I felt so good about myself, i felt i could do absolutely anything, on top of the world...in a cocky kinda way. Ever since my weights have been going up ive been feeling this way. Anyone else get this?
 
When I have a really intense workout or I see my body growing (my neck has blown up lately) I call my buddy and call him a pussy. I'll tell him I'm coming to git 'em! That gets him motivated to come beat my ass so he starts training harder. Its all in fun though. Never cocky just pumped and excited!

I don't think this is cocky what so ever!!! It's having good self-estem I'd say. Good job man...keep pumping it out!!!

Oh, and I'm cocky most of the time...but I can be cause I'm crazy!!! G's up Ho's down!!!
 
Cockiness is envoked towards other people. What you are explaining is just self-admiration, pride, etc.

And yes, I feel that way sometimes too after an intense workout. Like, holy shit, I just threw those weights around!?
 
i feel like that constantly now that ive had such a drastic change in my body the past 5 months. dropping 35 pounds of fat and increasing all your lifts but many pounds is a great feeling.
 
cocky sometimes but pride all the time. there should be no way to lift except to look back and smile at the fact that you laid it all on the line.

I think you need to strike a balance between arrogance and humility in order to be successful, but you can't be successful without any of either.
 
I sometimes put on much less weight than i can handle in benchpress and let it rip. Its a good ego booster when you notice that you can rep the shit out of a certain weight that not to many months ago seemed awfully heavy.
Like "woah this weight got nothing on me"

Yeah thats what it is....i couldnt put the right word on it, self admiration is better than cocky. I know there will always be someone bigger and stronger than me....I just feel good about what I do and how i do it...and like i can do anything!
 
Am i ever cocky? No.. But do I ever have high levels of self-esteem after making some new PR's.. ofcourse ;) I'm only human
 
I get a "high" from the pump or heavy weights lifted, but never really over confident because I like to put myself in my place.................which is small. lol That`s what keeps me going.

Hell yes. All champions need a little cockiness, I think.

Well put, and very true.

No, but I like to stare at the cocky people, maybe even walk by them just so they're humbled and brought back down to earth.

I just feel that most cocky people have 'tough guy' attitudes. Thats when its time for someone twice their size to humble them.

haha I do that all the time. this one time an employee was trying to talk to me and i was mumbling on about something i still don't remember. i call it the ephedra mixed with red bull effect. makes all the weights seem so easy to lift, but makes you dumb in the process.

exactly, best mix ever, ive just started really hammering my calfs so by the time i finish legs hobbling on anything but flat is impossible.

but i know that i will never be the strongest, biggest or most ripped.. but the reason i lift is to improve myself, i go in every session to lift just a bit bigger, or just a little easier. thats what its all about for me anyway

bigsteve, i wasnt really replying to the original post, (feeling overly confident). I totally understand what you mean by that. I was just talking about small people who think they should be on the olympia stage(sorry i didnt clarify that earlier)...who have the tough guy attitudes. I guess there are too many walking around my gym, and it makes me pretty mad.

pats fan, if a muscular 300lb guy walked by me, i would most definitely be humbled. I guess youre just a really big guy or something...

Guys like coleman dont need to be cocky. they are already bigger than everyone else, and have nothing to prove. i didnt know ronnie coleman was that cocky.

its great to have confidence, get pumped up, and feel all big. i guess i got kinda heated once i read this. it made me think of all the clowns at my gym......................:mad:

my bad on the mixup

I'm not a really big guy! But I would never be intimidated by anyone at the gym or be "hummbled". I'm there for me, I don't give 2 fucks who's there or what they're doing. If a 300lb Cutler walks by me, so what, so they're big, that means I can't be cocky...hell no!!!

Kurt, I was on the same page as you the whole time, I just wouldn't be "hummbled" by anyone at the gym!!!

I feel that way when my weights are going up too. Not really cocky, but just extreme satisfaction that I had the mental fortitude and physical strength to do something I've never done before.
 
After a PR in the squat or deadlift, I feel like a Wolf that has just made a kill, with my prey's blood still hot on my lips, and my eyes still glazed from the adrenalin-induced battle psychosis.


Is that cocky?
