I've noticed from comments from others I come off as being angry, Moody, etc the day of my workouts. I come off as prideful, arrogant, and am easily annoyed and angered. I've looked around and found differing opinions from blood sugar being low to bipolar disorder. Anyone else have this issue and/or know why this occurs? I can't find conclusive information. I'm 22, 5' 6ish, 165lbs with history of addiction.
 
Nope, no pre workout, no aas, no Ph/DS, only thing I take is whey, creatine, and glucosamine (my job is very demanding on my joints going up and down stairs all day).
 
Workouts should help you get rid of your anger, not cause it. Do you eat anything before your workout ? Lack of food (low blood sugar) can cause this. Try having a small meal pre-workout.
 
I eat a small meal about 30 min before lifting. Then another meal after lifting. That's why I don't feel its a blood sugar issue. Sometimes the anger/moodiness lingers into the next day. I kinda like it as I walk around feeling I'm better than everyone.
 
Maybe its overexertion.

I know that when I work out too intensely (i.e. lifting everyday for 1-2 hours) that I can get extremely exhausted. This exhaustion can cause me to be more irritable with my wife or friends. I think that its just too much pain & soreness with not enough rest. Sometimes to much of a good thing...
 
I do work my ass off 5-6 days a week with 8-10 hour shifts on my feet constantly. I'm a dog handler at a kennel so it is physically demanding.

If that anger is really making you more confident, I think it's worth it. Are you getting enough sleep ?
 
No idea but deduction can be helpful if you wanna change. Like trying other routines or suppliments.

I get about 6 hours a night (I'm a recovering addict so I got meetings and sponsor stuff going on daily). Also the confidence surpasses just a bit of self confidence. I come off as arrogant apparently. Kinda reminds me of how I was on cocaine: full of vitality, feel I can take on the world, assertive, aggressive, motivated, and excessively confident.
 
I plan to. So far my new aggression hasn't pushed away the girl I'm chasing so all is well. I feel I perform better at work the next day as well.
 
Good luck with your recovery man. Maybe withdrawals are causing this? idk... pretty sure guido will figure it out for you....
 
I'm clean a bit over 17 months now so withdrawals wouldn't be likely. Who knows. Maybe I'm sensitive to the effect of androgens (natural and more than likely exogenous).
 
That feeling after a nice hard workout where it feels like your muscles will split your skin everytime you move. *ahh yeah* a feeling Adonis has blessed us with.

Feel on top of the world right now. Fantastic day at the gym, great pump (almost painful, but in a good way), appetite is up (recovering from sinus infection) and possibly get to see this incredible girl tonight. This is the reason I live. To feel like this everyday.
 
Many think tend to feel they are a huge badass after a few months in the gym. I'm calling placebo, just quit being an ass.

Not at all, Serotonin isn't new to lifting. He also said that he felt irritable only post-workout. It's not cause he's being an ass.
 
Learn to harness this confidence wisely, and, you sir, can conquer the world.

THIS. It looks like to me that your body is responding very well to your workouts, and that you T levels are fine.
The only that you are lacking, is Maturity. ( Don't know you personally, that's just what it looks like if what other people say is true )

Cocky is good. Cocky with a tinge of humility is even better. Humble yourself, son
 
I'm working on my humility and maturity now actually hah. You're not secretly my sponsor stalking me on bluelight are you?
