Roid Rage......Fact or Myth....

[DerCribben]

As I said in the "Aggression??" thread, I think that people flipping out and putting their head/fist/other random bodypart through a locker is Bullshit but I definitely feel more irritable while I'm on gear. But I'm introspective enough that thinking about whether or not I'm being too short fused keeps me in control easily.

I saw a thread about winny rage.... Im on 100mg of winny ED and im happy as a bearded clam seriously. Also idk if my test has kicked in yet or not but I;m still nice as ever and more socialable.
As far as intensity in the gym yeah thats up and its great. But for all the people who say they have roid rage i think its BS.

But my buddy whos cycling with me is kinda irritable i think its in his head tho...

Never noticed any rage of any kind, and I do have a bit of a temper. Maybe even feel in a better mood when on.
I have noticed that when goin "off" that there`s a drop in what you might call "good" aggression until my natural levels return.
Is this an example of crashing???

FACT! Testosterone increases aggresion! I dont think anybody would argue that. Look at two dogs of the same species one male vs female. Which one is more wound up and crazy?

However, as a human, we are psychologically advanced enough to channel this increase properly. So I agree...and asshole is an asshole comment. BUT, it can push some over the edge at times.

I would not call it a myth, but more of a misunderstanding.

I totally freakin agree
It's the dicks who see juice as a green light to act out "rage"

Rawdog - yeah, I've gotten those rage comments from people that know me and Im not even huge, ahah.....In my mind I'm immediately like "shut the hell up dumbass, do I seem nuts to you jerkoff?!!!".

In the minds of assholes, they're just stroking their egos with the whole idea of "ohhh, im big now, im bad now, and now i have a reason to act like a prick" haha.
But, I've also talked to guys that were very cool......so, yeah its the weakminded immature guys responsible for the negativity on juice and the mind

If anything, juicing has mellowed me out bigtime over the years...my temper is nonexistant anymore....

I dont know how old you are, but when I was a kid and all the way up to my early 20's I had a bad temper and small shit could easily get to me. I dont mean in terms of fighting, but in terms of just getting pissed over shit.
Well, from my early 20's to 30 now, I have significantly chilled out. Now, I don't act out anger like I used to etc etc.
The thing for me was a matter of maturity settling in, and recognizing how to let things roll off your back - learning how to take breaths, keep quiet and let the aggrevation pass. Basically, this comes with maturity (for those who let it, heh).
Maybe that's the case with you, rather than juice being whats calmed you down over the past 7yrs like you say.
Just a thought of mine.....nothing more.


Also, to acdd to my previous post here, I think it also has to do with what gear someone's taking and the amount. I imagine what I would be like if I was on test suspension with interesting doses
