Anger management.

Stereotypes are a tricky thing. They exist to some degree for a reason – a general observation that might hold true in a majority case. But they also classify individuals unfairly. Bodybuilders have to deal with this in the form of a “mindless meat head” stereotype. According to this stereotype, bodybuilders are mindless, dumb, people who only know how to “lift things up and put them down.” They are also filled with roid rage.

While this is generally untrue – sadly there are people who help propel the stereotype (after all it didn’t come into existence out of thin air). Here’s a little throwback video of a tough guy starting a fight at the pawn shop over a purchase. Does he confirm a stereotype of a meat head? Let us know in the comments below!
