Is this a symptom of Roid rage?

[gym_rat_jason]

HI guys as u guys know i am runnung test e and eq cycle today when i was at the gym, this friend of mine was telling a joke when i was lifting as that that instant i wanted to use the 90 pounder dumbell and swing it full force at him. And no the joke was not about me. He juz sounds irritating and i think he goes to the gym to clown around.

I dont belive in roid rage first of all, with the exception of high dosages of tren. Even then i dont like the term "roid rage" but if it has to be pigeonholed so be it. I believe that steroids can amplify who you really are and lessen your inhibition to act out due to increased confidence to "finish what you started", so to speak. You also have much higher energy then normal and are not used to channeling it and controling it. This guy has not changed. You have. He has probably always been annoying. I cant stand people who act like fools in the gym. But i know i cant bash their face with dumbells nor do i want to. All i can worry about is me. As long as i am their to take care of my business, thats all that matters. If i tried to "check" everyone based on what I considered idiotic behavior, i would have been in prison a long time ago. Nowadays i just let people be who they are and if i dont like them i dont hang around them.

great post.... spot on....

Allright. So u are actually trying to say its more of a phyological thing? Ok i will try to curb that evil though within me ahahha Thanks anyway now that u have said that i should spent all my extra energy productively by lifting more weights rather than listening to bozos like that freak. Haha anyway how know where can i get natural peanut butter in singapore?? I dont seem to find it even in leading supermarkets all i see are brands like skippy which are drowned in godzilla amounts of sugars. Or maybe anyone know of any webbie whereby i can purchase it online and they will send it over here in singapore?

awesome post ross.

Funny....Im always the first person to want to rip someone's eyes out.I find my nature is to insitgate with people to begin with....yet....when I was on.....I didn't change at all.
I wasn't any more easily irrated then before. After everything I have read, I come to the conclusion that it's people trying to fulfill the sterotype of it all.

but that's just me....

Roid rage is just anger that you'd feel anyways increased. And I'll bet 99% of the time when you get angry you have a logical reason (like that clown distracting you while you're trying to train). I hate it when people talk to me while I'm lifting and expect me to reply! The other day I got furious because my ex was finally meeting me to give me some things back I left at her place 2 months ago, and on the phone I politely said I was planning on bringing a camera because I didn't have any pictures of her. She blew up on me and said "you can't take my picture without my permission!" and just totally chewed me out on the phone. She said if I brought the camera she wouldn't give me my things back. The whole time I felt like screaming back and calling her a bitch...but I didn't, I kissed her ass and apologized repeatedly and when she threatened to postpone giving me my things back for another week I begged her not to. It really sucked but what choice did I have? If I had roid-raged on her I would have never gotten my property. If I had hit her I would have gone to jail. Roid rage in a civilized society will make you end up in jail, and it's not always fair, sometimes people really deserve it. People will push your buttons because they feel safe knowing you can't actually "use" your muscles without getting in big trouble.

I got bit on my left hand by a dog today after it attacked mine, the owner was a stupid inbred bitch gobbing like fuck, cuts quite bad and im shocked i didnt break my teeth as my jaw was clamped so tight, i swear, it was that or kill her mutt and launch abuse.
snaps for me not lifting the big freak bitch off her feet!
ive become much more restrained in my thirties :P

Great post Ross. I have always had a VERY bad temper and such was concerned when i decided to do my first cycle. Being aware of that has made all of the difference. I have never had an issue with anger. It's funny but I'm more of an ass when I'm off than when i'm on. i feel, as Ross stated, there is an amplification but it is COMPLETELY up to you what to do with that, i don't believe in the "I snapped" theory, you make a decision and are completely responsible for that decision. Otherwise the B.S. about what we do is true. I feel it's not. Just my take.

So chris benoit did not kill his entire family in a metter of minutes due to the extra raging hormones in him while using test?? Wow glad to hear that man

[FordTurboDiesel]

sidenote.....didnt' Chris benoit have a history of depression and was a Meth addict?

Out my way that never gets mentioned.....just that juice is why he put his family down.

As I have always appreciated Gym rat's posts in the past, I am assuming this was sarcasm at the media's coverage of this tragedy and not toward my early comment. BUt just to review: Benoit's Test levels were @ or around 207, as I understand it, hardly high enough to use "roid rage" as an excuse. He had a history of depression and other emotional challenges, aside from the fact that he had Xanax and hydrocodone in his system, which CERTAINLY would have suppressed any chance that this could have been steroid induced, not to mention the morbid act of smothering ones own son, takes time, he had time to think about what he was doing, while he was doing it, and choose to finish the act. The media jumped on this senseless tragedy to further demonize these products and truly didn't have a leg to stand. If anything I would put this one in the win column for aas, at least a tie. If one truly beleived that introducing these products into one's body might actually result in this type of behavior, one would need to have their F-ing head examined for actually considering it.

OOPs!!! I think I must have just "raged out" on that last post, :o It's not my fault I'm on the juice, Now as Bod1 said on this subject: please excuse me I have to go kill my family........:D

[supermatt]

I agree, people are way too quick to blame steroids for horrendous crimes. Getting pissed off and yelling at someone is one thing, but premeditated murder is completely different. If someone on roids does anything bad, the public will automatically assume the roids made them do that. If that was true about Chris Benoit then there'd be a lot of serial killer juicers.

i agree great post rossalini....i actually am on a pretty heavy cycle of tren....i shoot 75mg of tren everday....i honestly STILL dont believe in roid rage, however i do feel that people seem to get on my damn nerves alot more, but i control it well. But i think its alot to do with the extra energy i have and that those ppl have always been annoying as you stated...

Big bump

I simply dont undertsnd why ppeople see steroids users ae ALIENS damn those assholes. haha

[supermatt]

I would call aggression "controlled rage". That's a real term football coaches use to teach their players not to punch out the guy who just tackled them, control it and use it next time you get the chance to tackle him or one of his team mates.
