    Flow/the zone

    Ok guys i need some input here. Can you all please say which of the following you experience while on gear.

    physically relaxed; mentally calm; low anxiety; energised; optimistic; enjoyment; effortless; automatic; alert; mentally focused; self-confident; and, in control.

    This is for a sports psych class, questioning the effect of gear acting as an artificial means of maintaining flow and making it easier to acheive.

    ............OK.......... so you dont enter the gym feel more energised, find that the weights go up easier, that you can feel your muscles growing, that you have a sense of ability and power to perform beyond your regular limits?

    physically relaxed; good but not exactly relaxed
    mentally calm; no
    low anxiety; no
    energised; yes
    optimistic; yes
    enjoyment; yes
    effortless; lifting, yes
    automatic; ?
    alert; yes
    mentally focused; yes
    self-confident; oh hell yes
    and, in control. yes
    Also, I work in sales and definitely sell more when on cycle. Don't know if it's just that my confidence is up, I wondered if there might be a pheromonal effect... who knows, but it does help!

    Sounds to me like a poor responder. I hope I'm not like that when I start.

    physically relaxed- after a good workout..yes
    mentally calm- unless on tren
    low anxiety-nope, I'm always on edge, on or off..I have a scrip to minimize anxiety
    energised-absolutely
    optimistic-usually
    enjoyment-you know it
    effortless-not effortless, but on cycle there's a mental edge in addition to the physical effects
    automatic-?
    alert-yep
    mentally focused- on cycle, I seem to stay distracted
    self-confident-somewhat
    in control-I try to be
