why are bodybuilders so HUMBLE...

[the shadow]

i have seen this alot of times that big and strong guys always humble..guys like kevin levrone,ronnie coleman,markus ruhl,orville burke,dorian yates,jay cutler etc are like freaks of nature in real life and when you talk to them they are so humble...i have known some big guys who boast about themselves and are too cocky and they fuckin act like assholes...but in the case of pro bodybuilders its completely the opposite..these guys are like the bigger they become the more humble they get..and that is why i respect these pro bodybuilders alot.all of these freaks are so soft spoken its seems strange sometimes

[Alexander Sturm]

Because they are professionals and that`s part of their profession.

They are humble b/c they do not have a physique rather a chemical costume.  They are guilty.  That is the truth!!!!

[hipolito mejia]

Lou Ferrigno says "HI"

[thisiskeith12]

I wouldn't consider Ronnie humble

[Alexander Sturm]

@Howdog

Here`s the truth. You`re an idiot.

[kyomu]

Because, they are not insecure.
I mean they dont need to bother themselves with pretending like "they have something".
Because,THEY HAVE.

Lou Ferrigno says "HI"

and charges you 20 bucks for bodybuilding tips if you reply.

They are stupid to be humble.

Arnold wasn`t.  Either was Serge Nubret.

They would beat everyone before the contest.

They had greater intelligence.

[The True Adonis]

Very cool. I like this and think it's totally true (in most cases...Ronny it just weird I'd say, not especially cocky).

Let's have a competition to see who can list the most people on GetBig who 'are pretending like 'they have something'". I'll start:

• The True Adonis

You reek of insecurity fatbody..........You can`t get lean because your fat is your mental blanket....You think it is muscle.  You think you are bigger than everyone when it is all just fat.  You then look at your arms and think,"Oh how puny they are,I`ll go get synthol from Greggvalentino.net and start injecting.Maybe then people will think I am big."

Your lifts are a joke...I am STRONGER than you....I have outlifted you and you are nearly 300 lbs of uncooked bacon...hahhahahahahahha hhahaha

[The True Adonis]

Ok, thats fine. You're stronger than me. So go to a powerlifting board and stay away from us pussy bodybuilders lifting tiny weight.

Open invitation to leave Adonis. You said it, not me.

hahhahah YOU ARENT A BODYBUILDER!!!!!!!!!

You use Synthol like a protein shake.  You are FAT.

Bodybuilding IS NOT FAT building. hahhahahh

You are just a fat slob who goes to the YMCA.  Go find the fat slob YMCA board.  You know nothing about bodybuilding or the history of it.  You NEVER have been lean. hahhahah

Wasn't is Arnold who said... "When you are driving a Ferrari, you don't have to speed around all the time. You know when you push the pedal you're going to go faster than everybody."

Not to steer this thread totally off topic, but how did you possibly pull off doing 112 reps with 225 lbs in the deadlift?

DaddyWaddy. The bodybuilding/weightlifting gods blessed me yesterday and I did 112 reps total with 225 on the deadlift.  Breathing like a locomotive for sure.

Hard Work.  Deadlift has always come easily for me.

Next time I do it I will videotape it.  The trick is, NEVER put the bar down...If you have to stand there and catch your breath for a few seconds, do so with the bar in hand.

Good grip!  All that whacking before Jezebelle sure paid off.

[onlyme]

Yea Chic and Sean are really humble

[the shadow]

wat i am tryin to say that most of the guys are cocky as hell for eg boxers like mike tyson,mohammed ali etc who kept on rambling on shit that was totally rude...that sucks.but these pro bodybuilders are like quiet..they keep their mouth sut..damn i really liked ronnies humbleness in his video 'on the road'..damn thats strange.being a feak of nature and then at the same time down to earth and soft spoken.thats all i want to say...and then we have assholes like chris cormier,flex wheeler and a bunch of others who were like shit....

[G o a t b o y]

...but in the case of pro bodybuilders its completely the opposite..these guys are like the bigger they become the more humble they get..and that is why i respect these pro bodybuilders alot.

In the Pumping Iron book, I believe.

[Earl1972]

people that are great don't need to mention how great they are

why say it when everybody already knows?

[thor_odin]

Humble? I hope you are never stranded on a desert island with a bodybuilder. He'll steal your rations and let you starve to death rather than lose muscle.

A picture says a thousand words. Brutal exemplification of virtually every bodybuilder stereotype known to man encapsulated in one photo image...

[1stkeepitreal]

Pro BB are mostly about the money themself and thier personal enjoyment usually in that order.
My personal experience shows me that (not a complete list):

Quincy, Melvin (last couple of years) = HUMBLE

Dexter, DJ, Shari, Stan, Shawn = NOT HUMBLE

Milos, Dorian somwwhere in between
