the big yim

Just started doing weight training again after about a 2 - 3 month break, and since I have started again i'm finding myself really moody. The smallest thing is starting to irritate me. Does anybody else find this? or can anyone explain why?
I'm not doing any steroids or supplements and i'm doing a four day spilt workout.
Thanks in advance for any input

Increase in testosterone making you more fired up, I'd say! You'll most likely habituate fairly quickly!

It can do that, some adrenalin and testosterone gets things going nicely: You should have seen me after hauling 10 twin fan condensor units up 4 flights of stairs..

I wasn't known as the hulk for my bulk

lol don't have a ''small problem'' as im six foot three. Put loads of weight on after leaving school and started training to lose some fat. Don't want to put it back on so i'm trying to keep on with it.
Why does the body produce more testosterone when you lift weights??

Interesting thread, can anyone reccomend any supplements that they used and have good results with?
Used BSM no-explode a few times and found that within the first 10 days i used it i got results. After that not only did it taste bloody awfull but didnt get any gains lol

Because more girlys like you and want your seed, so basic genetics say that you have to produce more semen and be a moody hard **** so other seed givers don't steel your potential bitches.

Probably that's why?

As others have said...Testosterone. Why do you think guys that do very physically hard work are so aggressive?

GlesgaKiss

Because testosterone is what is used to start muscle growth. The more muscles you work at the same time, the higher the levels of testosterone in your body will be, as there will be alot of muscle to repair.

So compound exercises like deadlifts, or squats with a barbell have the greatest effect.

Edited to say - Also, you might find yourself wanting to give your girlfriend a good sh*gging more often. Lol

are you getting plenty of sleep?

the big yim

Yeah i'm getting plenty of sleep, mainly due to me wanting to give the girlfriend a good sh*gging and her wanting to ''snuggle'' or go to sleep!!!

I find the exact opposite actually, training puts me in a good mood.

met-rx nos is similar to that and worked pretty good for a month or 2 lol but expensive and i stopped seeing gains half way thru the tub ..so stopped using it..

anyway best gains is my protein shake.. go to my protein.co.uk

get some ultra fine scottish oats.. instant whey and instant milk protein.. in huge 5kg tubs and mix them together.. costs about £70 but lasts ages! nice n cheap

and very good spesh with the milk protein so good after workouts and before bed..

im gonna give this ago before my holiday in summer lol

Yeah I get real angry when I miss sessions due to work too, but moody because I have been working out - never happened.

Go to Monstersupplements.com, I have been using PHD Synergy Pro7, it's a lot like Maximusle's Cyclone but tastes really god and doesn't give you any wind. I use Strawberry and Chocolate both real good thick shakes even with water!

I'm a moody f**ker in the gym, i want in and out. I haven't got time to fart about and idle chit chat. so i just get to the gym and get on with it so sometimes to other i come across as a miserable old c***.

With regards to Supplements it depends on what you want to achieve. if you want to get really big then i'm afraid your p1ssing in the wind and will need 'the juice' supplements are just that supplements, get your diet sorted first. i.e. plenty of proptein throughout the day. but at the moment i'm taking ZMA and L-Glutamine, which is really just helping me recover quicker.

Oh and another good tip - a couple of nana's about 30 minutes before a workout coupled with plenty of water will do wonders for your energy levels.

Just what i was thinking

You will generally tend to feel good after workout due to your body releaseing endorphins, which give the feeling of well being. You tend to get mood swings if you dont get the "pump" so to speak and your fix of endorphins.

Great thread.
Cannot understand the anger, since going back to the gym I have slept better and been more chilled than I have for years.
My regime is 75% cardiac; cycling and rowing and 25% weights.
I suspect that I am getting "used" to the endorphins as have slowly increased from 2-3 trips per week to 5. I think I would be irritable if I was unable to go for a session.
To the OP, you're probably just a big angry bloke

I get grumpy if I don't train!

I know what you guys are saying about missing training sessions making you mad. It seems like a different angier to that, i'm not going to 'Chris Brown' the missus but I am finding little things are really starting to annoy me which usually I wouldn't think about.

Yim - similar to my old routine.
Now toned right down as not on "the gain" any more. And no longer scared of doing cardio stuff either - used to be convinced it would shed weight!
