Being humble vs being secretive(when to show your accomplishments)

When you think of the words humble and genuine, you might think of a king sitting on his throne, but when you think of the words secretive and mysterious, you might think of a guy in a hoodie hunched over walking down the street.

When someone talks about going to the gym for the first time, they are not being humble, they are just bringing their accomplishments out in the open for no reason really.

If your friend goes to the gym for the first time and asks you how much you can bench, don't tell them. It might seem humble, but you're lying about your bench.

You said you don't bench at all, but if you didn't move on, you might have lied about how much you can bench or if you binge.

If you lie to people, they are going to feel like you think you're above them and won't like you for it. Instead, say things that are beneficial to you and don't say things that don't need to be said. When you first came to the gym you were 70 pounds overweight and could only deadlift 100 pounds. Now you can easily deadlift over 500 pounds and you can motivate other people to train hard too.

You helped somebody by bringing up your accomplishments and by inspiring them. You might not have been Arnold's exact goal, but he still showed off his muscles as an actor. I don't think that was the main goal, but that was the effect, and that effect was that he inspired people. I don't necessarily mean to build up muscle and upload that on the internet, but that can have a motivating effect on some people.

There are people who might benefit from seeing what you uploaded to the internet, but I personally am not planning on ever doing it.

I think the oversized baggy sweatshirt trend is a new trend, but the guy could be fat, he could be jacked, he just wants to be humble. He's hiding himself from the world, and some people can interpret that the wrong way.

You get what I'm saying, if you want to show people how to do a push-up correctly, how to do a squat correctly, or how to do a pull-up correctly, you have to reveal your physique, and become shirtless.

Being genuine and humble takes showing more of you, and telling your loved ones the things you do will make them appreciate you more.
