Remember a couple of days ago when I was foaming-at-the-mouth regarding my experience with the hottest guy alive? After a few days my hormones have had a chance to calm down, and I managed to gain some proper perspective on life again.
Last night muscle-guy is in the gym again. As I walk in he gives me a hearty greeting, and all the way through our respective workouts we are spotting for each other. I really felt a great (but straight) rapport between us.
Let me just say that he has an absolutely amazing physique, something that I am definitely striving for. So in that respect I really look up to the guy. But this respect was increased ten-fold when halfway through the workout he comes over and asks me about my workout regime, and advice on how to work triceps.
Considering that his physique is such that he wouldn't need any advice from anyone, I thought that this was pretty awesome. Not only is he not acknowledging his own physical success, but he was indirectly complementing me in a big way. He seemed genuinely interested, and I noticed that he actually borrowed some of my techniques later in his workout.
We got to chatting, turns out he never uses any supplements, lucky bugger - I have to use them otherwise my metabolism destroys my muscle mass.
So this is my homage to humility. A homage to all gym-jocks out there who manage to acknowledge other people's efforts, without flaunting their own.
Hopefully our rapport will continue in future - as James said - good opportunity to make a new friend. The real question is: how difficult is it to have a friend who you can't tear your eyes away from?
Request for the day:
Any big gym jocks out there: complement the struggling guys out there, and make their weekend.

have you considered he was faking not knowing how to work his triceps? im not saying he was im just asking if you considered it. it could have been some odd form of flattery as part of his hitting on you. i just think you should jump him once in the locker room and see what he does. just as an experiment.
That could very well be the case. I have noticed that he always manages to finish up exactly when I am stepping out of the shower. Freak of timing? Or deliberate action? Who knows.
...maybe he will jump me first...
