First post in a LONG time…
Been away from the lifting game a long time, have been hitting it hard since the first of the year, and I’m finding that I’m very irritable and aggressive after I workout. No, I’m not on anything besides a Spike pill, Surge and creatine. I immediately drank my my Surge after lifting, so I wasn’t really that hungry. I just flipped out at the mexican food place because I thought they were cheating me out of extra beans. 
Anyone else experience something similar?
Absolutely. I just generally feel much more aggressive and easily angered after I work out.
One day after training a guy at the coffee shop (Tim Hortons) thought I was jumping the line and grabbed my arm and tried to pull me back. He got yelled at for a loooong time. Sadly, I think I looked like the crazy one at the end of it. It was my turn anyway

I gotta say I get a terrible irritability factor when I dont’ go to the gym in say the space of a week or so.
Yes, 100%. I love that feeling after the gym. I drink lots of coffee before, too, so I really am in an aggressive mood for a while after, and love it.
I think it has a little bit to do with the pump. After training I look massive, and my behaviour changes accordingly.

Yeah, I’ve been telling myself for years as I look in the mirror when I have a great pump, ‘man, if I could only look like this when cold, I’d be happy!’.
Yeah, I definitely experience that as well. Plus I’m usually so fatigued that all I can manage is a few grunts when someone talks to me.
There is a brief hormonal response after lifting, but it shouldn’t cause a “rage” type of mental fuge.
You guys taking that creatine in your socks or something?
I’m like that but only if I miss a lift I should have gotten on that day. If I have a great day at the gym I’m really happy and outgoing, if it sucked, you better stay the fuck out of my way! lol

I agree with that. It depends on my workout although I am a little more agressive after any workout, good or bad.
BTW, like your new avatar waylander, lookin’ good bro.
I usually feel aggressive (and horny) after a good lifting session, especially after squatting heavy. I guess at that time my testosterone level is jacked up through the roof.
no i actually feel wicked tired when im done.
I’m usually in a good mood from the endorphins.
Even if I have a disappointing workout I figure the next one will be better, because there is always a next time.
Creatine is basically steroids, so it’s probably the rage.

thank ya’ sir!
You can’t be serious. This is something I’d expect to find on bodybuilding.com forums. Way to perpetuate the notion that all serious lifters are angry meatheads.

Meatheads = dumb
Angry = angry
This is about feeling aggressive after a session.
As for me, I feel more aggressive on the way to the gym, and better after a workout is over…

And I agree with both of you. What the french toast is going on here?!? haha
After I lift I just want to eat something and take a nap.
