Flow/the zone

[Prime]

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.

I feel no different when on and type of steroid, if anything I feel depressed and tired.

............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!

Put me down the same as NOTSMALL definately more controlled aggresion, sometimes tired from not sleeping as much but usually energies especially at the gym.

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

effortless-not effortless, but on cycle there's a mental edge in addition to the physical effects

mentally focused- on cycle, I seem to stay distracted
