+ 2 Rage and peoples perception
When average size people look at those of us in the body building and powerlifting community, they can be a little intimidated by us. I don't know about you guys but people make comments to me about my size, such as: "You're huge", "I bet no one messes with you" and so on. Because of my size, people typically don't jump in my face or show aggression towards me, probably because of the fear I may snatch them up and break them in two. I bring these points up for a reason; to put in our minds that people can perceive us as a threat. At this point you may be saying to yourself, why bring this subject up? I'm glad you asked. Since I live in the states and we can own and carry guns, it is for our safety I bring this up. When you or I show aggression we can look downright scary to the average sized person. With that in mind, If I show rage toward another person, they may see me as a threat and shoot me to neutralize the perceived threat. Gentlemen, What I'm trying to say is, Control your rage, be nice and stay safe.

Shit man you ain't wrong with this one. On top of all of what you stated I'm a veteran. We're automatically listed as threats.
I get called crazy often but I get paid for it.. --
I dont know about all that, not many people have guns where I live but what I have noticed clear as day is that people TRY to make you angry. They can see you blatantly use steroids and want to see "roid rage" to feel justified. Just so they can go "yep, thats more evidence that he uses steroids"
They do it for fun and for their own confidence. Fucks me off. Ill be honest it hasnt worked out so well for some. Fucked around and found out.
PropheticWookieStill don't get the point of the post? Is it bad to be big or not to control your emotions? So it's always bad.
RustyhookerSounds pretty tiny penis to me. Act an ass at any size and youre an ass. Think roids will give you some intimidation...some mma bjj dude will kick the shit outta you
I've seen a little guy choke out a big dude
Ah damn, was hoping no one seen that
Haha, You tore him up
I was once beat up by a blind Frenchman.
that's sad... the French can't fight.
*french canadian
If that's the case, you probably deserved it. What the hell did you do to be able to piss a Canadian off? I didn't think that was possible.
it's...complicated
LoL.... I GOt that one!
Yea that’s one thing I never got, no matter how angry I get i never visually have “roid rage” However i do cuss a lot of people out in my head whenever i’m running something
Agree with everything said on here. Plus these days there is almost no such thing as standing toe to toe to settle your differences anymore. Most likely a weapon of some sort is going to get involved. A stupid argument is not worth a loss of life. Best to ignore the loud mouth idiots out there and just keep on living your best life.
What happened to the good old days of boxing it out?
I’ll second the previous comment: good advice. If you do ever have to defend yourself, and it goes to trial, if you’re muscular (and/or trained or experienced in CQC of any sort), the judge and jury will reach a quick decision. Yeah, stay calm and humble. Anger is a luxury some of us can’t afford.
Good advice. Been doing this 35+ years. In my experience, if you were a prick before steroids you will be twice as bad on them. So people think muscles make them special.
Yeah that’s true. It does feel good to be strong, wouldn’t trade it, but it doesn’t give us the right to act like assholes. And Jaws has a great point; every little punk is carrying a piece nowadays. Where I live it’s smart to carry, too, and with it comes huge responsibilities, strength or little of it regardless.
I also carry and have to be careful of my actions.
Got to stay humble
Yeah, absolutely. Got to stay humble and careful and sane, especially important if we carry.
