I hate that guy. He's such a fraud. Most insecure Mr. Olympia ever. Almost can imagine him waking up in a terror sweat because he had a nightmare that his Sandow trophy's been stolen from his reinforced steel safe.
If you think for one second that ANY Mr. Olympia is a self-confident, self-secure individual, you are sadly mistaken.
What do you think drove them in the first place?
I'll answer that for you: Insecurity and lack of self-confidence. I really don't care who argues or with what "logic" ~
As time goes on, these competitors become even less "confident" and more delusional, narcissistic, paranoid and worst of all: Lonely.
After all of this, the extremely detrimental things that these guys put their bodies through affects their minds in a highly adverse way. If you had to measure Stressed-out vs. Self-confidence with these guys, the former would win every time.
Hardcore bodybuilders that never even hit a Pro Stage are exactly the same way, if not worse.
Some people think that success is the equivalent of self-confidence. Well, it is not.
You have to be motivated by something. You might say it's money, fame, women... whatever. Yes, these things are a part of it, but they are not the underlying cause to someone taking things to the level that "celebrities" do.
I understand that thinking about whether or not I'm full of shit causes question, but when you work with these guys for years and years and years, and grow "up??" together... you see it. Crystal clear.
Over-achievers are most often insecure individuals as children. They have something to prove, and this is the driving force.
