    Walk around really arrogant thinking they own the place ? Any lads who are big gym goers I know seem to have a real cockiness about them. Why is this ?

    They love looking and checking themselves out in the mirrors also.

    Probably the hormones that are released

    Never understood it (apart from people who compete in sports). I think it's the equivalent to girls that get boob jobs to boost their confidence.

    Also think there is a massive homoerotic thing with it. A lot of lads like to do weights in groups and like watching each other flex, sweat and hear their lifting partners grunt. It's a subconscious stem of homosexuality. Of which a lot of humans have to be fair, it is just in this case it is more obvious to see.

    Oh Dickie, the homoerotic angle is going to set this thread on fire.

    I see a few that check themselves out but most of them are fairly sound based on my limited interactions
    We all just get on with it
    Some are very nice and will help record for a form check or help spot

    I do it to help me recover from injury. But not a fan of gyms at all, can't wait to get back on the track.

    Don't ya just hate it when someone has a bit of self confidence!!!! I know a guy who is into weights and he is sound, normal like the rest of us but my friends who only know him to see him, think he's a prick.
