has the quest for hugeness made you more aggressive?
Do you guys feel like lifting has made you more aggressive? Here it is...I am naturally an aggresive person. Well after I thought my football career was over, I stopped lifting, got on a strict diet, and dropped from 295 to about 235. In the months of dieting, I basically lost my aggression. Since I've starting lifting hard again (past 6 months) it has come back more than ever!!! I know that my cycle, tren/test. prop/winny has something to do with the aggression and moods I've been having lately, but my question is, do you think the mindset that we put ourselves in while trying to become bigger makes us naturally more aggressive?
Yes. A positive side-effect.
Yes. I don't make use of steroids, and without any added androgens, I still say that yes, it has. Although there's no way to tell what my temperment and disposition would be like had I never gotten into bodybuilding. There would have to be a non-bodybuilding clone of me, or at least a non-bodybuilding identical twin for an acurate and true answer to that question.
I do know that I become considerably more irritable, hot-tempered, and aggressive when I don't train for 5+ days. I need the outlet. My body and mind expect it and want it.
Aggression is a good thing to have if you can control and channel it. In this world that is BURSTING AT THE SEAMS with injustice and filled with people who will short-change you, you must be aggressive to protect your interests. Bodybuilding, by making me big and powerful, has added to my confidence. I am in your face(!) when I know I've been wronged and the situation calls for it. And I never gloat after I've prevailed in a confrontation because I believe I'm principled and honest and fighting for what is only fair. (I try my best to be honest and fair. Something not everyone tries for or cares about.) I also believe in myself because I have the gift of gab along with an outgoing personality. I believe being well-built and having an outgoing personality compliment each other. I can probably attribute my outgoingness, at least part, to being "built". Yes, it has.

Absolutely it does, the mind is everything and your behavior is always reflected upon your environment and what is going on around you. When you are determined and have a goal, you will naturally be more aggressive.
