Found this article that shows a needy perspective on being alpha and working out:

I also found the following comment in the comment section. While I don't agree with every single thing stated, I thought it could be a bit of harsh but necessary truth that some of you may find useful:

are you serious?? your article is a mixture of obsession, conflict and stress over the fact that another body type might get more attention than yours, you’re emotinally fragile like a girl. Getting 60 million views a second and selling 25 millions books don’t prove that your alpha male definition is right, it’s actually wrong. You’re not alpha and you’ll never be, you’re just a conflicted short guy trying hard to be someone to the eyes of strangers out there in the street, clearly you lack subjectivity and your goal is getting it. Let’s not confuse an emotionally stable person who trains to be healthy with a gym potato like you; somebody emotionally fragile and disturbed who lifts obsessively to escape scrawniness or fatness as it used to provoke a huge sense of worthlessness in you. You hate scrawniness cos once you were scrawny and it made you feel worthless at the presence of other males that you consider superior as they were bigger ans stronger. Your fragile emotions couldn’t take such bitter feeling and so you changed adopting the body type you consider superior (superiority complex) getting rid of the old body type that provoked such negative feelings. That’s why it is said that “superiority complexes” are a facade to hide a sophocating sense of inferiority and inadequacy. Insecure people seek for a change, confident people remain the same. You’d rather die before skipping a week at the gym cos that means going back to the scrawniness that terrifies your weak emotions. Your terrible past chases you like a ghost. It means DEATH, that’s how emotionally fragile you bodybuilders are, you’re always hanging on a thin thread XD And gym rats’ fragile emotions are hurt once again, you are mad at the idea that it is not your body stereotype the one that gets all the attention. You live for the eye of people. Worthlessness and invisibility are your worst enemy
