Do You Feel Superior Because You're Big?
 

Do you feel superior to others because you're big?

When you walk down the street and you see smaller guys, do you think you're better than them?

When you train in the gym and you're lifting heavier than everyone do you get a warm fuzzy feeling?

I never have and never will feel superior to someone if I'm bigger than them, not least because having done a fair bit of martial arts over the years I know that size isn't everything!

I've always been secretly smug when I can lift more than 'big' people though.

But as I get older I just admire anyone who keeps themselves fit and refuses to go down the eat shit, drink shit and look shit before their time route.

I've never felt that way but I've been big (relatively speaking) since high school. At 6'1" and anywhere from 220-275 I guess I don't really notice other people's size, large or small. Don't get me wrong, since I workout at a family style gym there's a pleasure after doing a set of 405, sitting up and seeing that most everyone around you has stopped what they're doing to watch. But then again, you put me in a Ckcrown type of enviornment (from what I gather from his youtube vids) and I would very much be either middle or the lower end of the spectrum.

Since I'm not competitive in my workouts, bodybuilding or strength, what other people do doesn't really factor in. I compete with myself.

1. No
2. No
3. No

I'm with you on that.........

in some cases i do... because i know how dedicated tht i am in my training.. !!! but as the same-time i hace tht bigorexia syndrome where i just DONT see myself as big.. im not a giant, but u can tell tht im above the norm... but even if i gain 5 or 20 lbs.. i still see myself as skinny.. and im never satisfied and it mentally tears me up at times.. SUX !!!!! :mad:

I will let you know when I get big haha

hey bro as long as u never stop learning the sport and give it ur all.. you will meet ur goals.. its all about sacrifice and a decision to make it happen.. :) and always eat harder than u train.. !!!!!!
