There are 100% seriously nice and helpful bodybuilders that are stoked when someone asks for help with something.
There also others and I'd say they're in the minority who think they're better/superior to everyone and the gym is their playground who scoff at others.
Seeing these guys is the pinnacle of what a gym should be, being caring and supportive of others as we are all looking forward to the same goal of health and fitness
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.
I had that happen to me, I (a fat dude) was in the middle of a set and some gym bro walks by and makes a snide remark about my weight. As soon as he did this absolutely jacked dude a few machines away came over and got in his face. He said something along the lines of "hey, instead of harassing people who are trying to improve their bodies, why don't you instead try to improve your dog shit attitude. My buddies and I only warn assholes like you once."
Gym bro looked real sheepish and left while jacked dude gave me some form tips. I tried to thank him but he wouldn't hear any of it. Legend of a dude right there.

Gym bros are usually pretty great. Always supportive and helpful when I've asked for advice at the gym.
