Training and Arrogance
I hear you, but take for example ronaldo at real madrid, a very talented footballer but boy does he know it and as a result is hated by many and liked by few. Messi has a more humble sense of achievement, he is good of course he knows it but feels his football speaks for itself and feels less need to needlessly show off.
Just starting a debate really, no right or wrong, personally i feel too many gym goers feel they are it, chest puffed out and constantly tensed look about them. Just my 2 pence worth
Yes, my experience would tend to agree with the arrogance observation and its not a good thing. We all went to the gym for the first time, we all felt intimidated by the muscle heads in the free weight area. Remember, fitness is a (never ending!) journey, and we are all at different points along the route. No matter how fit/big you are,

What I do find difficult to cope with, is attitude from people who are out of shape, gym newbies/people who have read a couple of issues of Mens Health and think they know it all. At my age, I don't go heavy anymore, I dont compete. But increasingly, I get smug even arrogant looks from guys half my age and twice my body fat, when they add weight to the bench bar after I've finished my sets. Most of these guys really have no clue. I would be happy to offer advice from 25 yrs of training, but all they are concerned about is outlifting the old guy with muscles.
