why are bodybuilders so HUMBLE...

[the shadow]

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

why say it when everybody already knows?

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

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

100% correct

Most people who talk shit have done nothing.  It is due 100% because of being insecure.  it makes them feel better about themselves.

and professional bodybuilders that need to shoot grams of hormones a week to get bigger are not insecure?

juiced bodybuilders are the most insecure people on earth, i would say at least 95% start the roids because they feel small, weak and want to look bigger and be respected by the people in their lives.

I agree with you 100%.  I don't know if anyone has ever done this but I bet if you look at pictures of pro BB's before they started lifting and competing I bet they were all small guys who got picked on or didn't fit in.  I am sure some of them were athletic and were okay, but I bet the majority of them were weaker and got picked on.

its called bigorexia or some shit like that

Met Jay Cutler at the GNC convention in Orlando...a friend of mine asked for his autograph...lets just say he is not too humble.

[onlyme]

I think most bigger guys are humble.  Especially strong ones.  I don't think BB's can be classified as humble since they are in a profession where they are showing off there bodies in a thong on stage (about as unhumble as you can get).  But I know allot of bigger guys who have made a living from being big and are or were the best at what they did and they are very humble.  Maybe loud at times but humble about their achievements and power.  i was alway called humble.  I wanted to be that way because in my sport anyone could beat anyone.  I just couldn't see me going crazy on stage like others did and then lose.  That would be very embarrassing.  I did think allot when I went places with my friends like movies, dinner, mall or wherever that I knew I was the strongest guy there.  I enjoyed knowing that but never bragged about it.  Most people could see I was strong.  When I lifted I tried my best to make it look easy.  You can ask anyone who has trained with me that I don't strain to much.  I do what I can do without making it look hard.  I was always told a good player makes everything look easy.  I always tried to make it look easy.

  i was alway called humble. 

you must act different in person than you do here

numerous times I've seen you mention "I have this" or "I had that" or "I knew so and so"

on what planet is that considered humble?

not a flame, just an honest observation

[Rami]

Because they are just putting on show. Being a bodybuilder at that level is very egoistic. Naturally they don't want to come of like that. Everyone wants to be loved, admired and respected, it's just human nature, oh and did I mention the increasing your popularity and chances of getting fat contracts? In bodybuilding You come first at all times...











So, just do cardio and relax, you know It's right... bodybuilding is bad stuff, will fuck you up!

 I am different in person as I'm sure you are.  I am a dick on here because others are dicks.  I am pretty confident that in person not many would be a dick to me.  When I say on here I have something or knew so and so I am not be boisterous.  I am trying to contribute to the thread.  When you see me mention somebody I might know, worked with or met it is generally because it has to do with the thread.  I don't usually just say I know Chuck Norris is the thread has nothing to do about him. I just so happen to know allot of people and because of that I make money.  People who know allot of people even say to me "you know allot of people".  I can't help it.  I try not to burn bridges either.  And if I do I do it because I would never in my life want to do business or have anything to do with that person ever again. I am right now starting to do business and talk to someone nearly everyday after not seeing or talking to him since 1987.  Now we are going into business together.

I rarely do this, but I have to agree with what TA says.

Bodybuilders act humble so they can fit in. We generally overcompensite what we've done with our bodybuilding with humble behavior to make other people feel "comfortable."

This is a very BAD habit of behavior to get used to in the "real world"(among many that come with successful bodybuilding).

If you want to be average in life, act humble. Make sure every John Doe who hasn't accpomlished anything in their life feel comfortable with you. Play yourself and your accomplishments down--so they won't be intimidated.

That a definite path to MEDIOCRITY in life.

Being humble is for the average.

Successful people aren't humble, boys. They may seem like it--but they aren't.

They truly believe that they are WAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than most people.

I don't totally understand what you are saying

Really, I know ALLOT of very successful people and all of them are humble.  And I know allot that aren't.  My uncle Joe has the biggest mouth of really anyone I know and it not because he is rich as hell it's because he is short and always want to be the center of attention.  He wear tennis shoes and t-shirts.  He is very down to earth though.  Here is a name that most people that know anything in the industry and has met him will say the same thing, HE IS ULTRA HUMBLE.  That is Pete G.  Not many more humble than him.  And he can buy just about anything he wants.  I loved it when we went to SEMA one year.  He was asking questions about some items for one of his Porsches.  The item cost around $10,000 or so.  And he told the guy he needed 4 of them for his cars.  The guy looked at him like he was full of shit cause Pete just had on jeans, t-shirt and boots.  Little did he know Pete could have bought every car in the show.  SO there are some humble rich people and there some that are not.

being humble is for the weak !

as the great Ali said: "it's hard to be humble when you are as great as I am"

TA doesn't anything about the real world.  When has he even met Arnold or anyone in fact.  Arnold played games with everyone.  Playing mind games with his competition is what he did.  He loved it.  Why anyone would listen to Apenis is beyond me.

Ali was like that for the cameras and for the public.  I have been with him and seen him how he acts without a camera in his face.  I have talked to him and listened to him.  I have been with his wife and watched him talk when it just us.  He is a quiet and very humble man now.  He might have been different a long time ago but I still think it was all an act.  I like to judge people when they are alone with you or without a crowd.  At the dinner when he was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame I sat right next to him at dinner and had to help him cut his steak and even tell him the date so he could sign an autograph for Carlos Palamino (I think thats who it was).  I had to tell people to leave him alone so he could eat.  He was so normal.  Then when he had to go up on stage and do his speech when he got his award, after at least 5 minutes of a standing ovation and everyone screaming and yelling ALi, Ali, Ali, he started to speak and I swear if you closed your eyes you would have thought you were at a press conference back in the 70's.  He was so excited and I remember him saying "you guys never thought this black would do it did you". And he was just going off.  After that we went up stage together and I sat between him and Jake LaMotta to sign autographs for everyone in attendance.  It was most autogrpahs I have signed at one time.  Over 1000.  My girlfriend and Mrs. Ali and Jakes daughter sat at the table just waiting for us.  And the second biggest highlight of the night was when Ali asked me for my autograph.  I was floored.  He then signed the program on his page to me "From the X Champ to the New Champ".  I will never forget it.  And yes I lost it cause Tony Halme girlfriend through it away.  Thats another story.

I wouldn't consider Ronnie humble
