How much does your personality change from training?

I feel like a ****ing animal. Lowering of calories and the more intense training makes me feel like a beast.

Sad but true. I size up everyone in public. *sigh* I have to use it for good....

 

I luv the sizing up comment; that's straight out of the movie 'fight club'.

 

Truthfully, it's something that I have done long before that movie came out and something that I am not proud of.

 

For some reason when I train consistently, I almost NEVER get angry about anything, and I have zero stress no matter how shitty life gets. It might be the drugs, but still. If anything, training LOWERS my aggression. Hell, losing weight drops my testosterone and while it does make me moody like a *****, it doesn't make me want to tear anybody's head off.

But if I take a few weeks off, I'm right back to my normal self. I think it's a combination of head trauma, weight loss, and generally just ending every day completely wiped out physically.

 

That's a normal part of being a guy. For girls, it's like 'Am I hotter than her?' For guys, it's 'Can I kick his ass?'

And the answer is always 'Yes, I most certainly could.'

It's science =D

 

Lol. I was going to say something like this. Entirely natural from the days when you'd have to fight the competition for a woman.

 

Man before I started boxing I was a bit like this, but nowadays I dont bother anymore, its pretty daft to be truthful, if someone stares me down though I'll stare right back at em but I never go out 'sizing' people up no more.

To be honest, as much as I love boxing, outside of the ring I try to avoid confrontation, unless someone blatantly just insults me to my face. Its not that im scared or anything, I just think violence is pretty pointless 80% of the time.

 

Yup yup it was and still is. "Fight Club" was just the cherry on top of my views on life.

We all have an alter ego and I suppose letting mine loose in training eases the beast outside of it.

 

Not training, you tend to have more to prove to yourself. As tacky as it sounds.

 

It does not. It's very true for most of us who choose this path.

 

i get annoyed and i dont feel like talking to anyone

 

I feel much more confident. Feel in great shape. Get obsessed, want to spark everyone out....
