Post Workout 'Buzz'

Yep, although the “high” varies depending on the type of exercise I do:

Normal, heavy weight session: I feel good for about an hour afterward. Not elated, but a general feeling of well-being.

Low to Mid-intensity cardio: I feel awesome for about 2 hours afterward, similar to the feeling you’d get taking a double dose of ECA in the morning, although far less jittery.

High-Intensity cardio: Good for about 20 minutes after, then become an irate, snarky asshole for the next hour.

I did that Christian Thibaudeau “Fat Meltdown” program last summer, where you try and maximize full-body lactic acid production by doing anaerobic circuits. Worked great, but I felt absolutely miserable for several hours after a session.

Before I had access to weights I would just bang out sets of press ups and pull/chin ups to failure.
This was really the first time I had REALLY pushed myself (pulled myself…) consistently; religiously and it was so intense afterwards, in the bext possible way.

I found myself wondering why I ever bother smoking the you-know-what and when I did, on ocassion have a smoke I would just want to curl up into the fetal position and giggle to myself like some crazed nutjob in a straightjacket haha

And for some time I kept getting the urge to watch Arnie movies - which would just exacerbate the hilarity of the situation. GET TO THE CHOPPA![/quote]

I bet your boyfriend thinks you are weird.

I also like to combine certain herbs and that endorphin high

I get home, eat my food, check emails and accounts, post on here, and pass out on the floor next to my cot.

Yeah, I like to do a few lines off the preacher bench after my last set.
