Yeah, that's precisely the same thing that happened with friends of mine who have trained a long time when it has come to my initial efforts - they have been nothing but supportive even though I'm only just starting out and can't even hope to do even a tiny fraction of what they're able to do. The only arseholes have been attention whoring types - which, like I said are the ones not taking it at least semi seriously and aren't there for the purposes of getting stronger. They are quite rightfully viewed with contempt by the gym bros.
