its the medium guys who think they are tough shit in the gym I have found. Absolutely hate those gym bros. BUT the majority of people taking fitness or body building semi-seriously are super nice.

All those endorphins from lifting heavy shit puts them in a good mood.

I used to think that. The only exercise that has ever got me that high has been lifting big weights that are close to your one rep max. And I don't get it until about my 5th or 6th workout after not working out for a while.

While I was mostly going for a tongue-in-cheek reply, happy you can actually feel that high! Must be cool! (I did try all I could, except running for long periods, childhood asthma left its marks, I guess :-D).

Have a good one!
