I've noticed over the past year or so especially when having an intense day at the gym that I am "in a mood" after working out. Seems strange. I figure it's because of all the hormones released during the gym session but sometimes it bothers me. I dont like comming home from the gym and being in a snotty mood around my family. Anyone else deal with this? What have you done to overcome it?

I'm freaking gassed out and exhausted after the gym. Getting home is an adventure half of the time.

Try going grocery shopping, or running some other errand after your done training. Just dont kill anybody at the supermarket. Thats what I do, it cools me off a bit before I get home, although I get mad when the bagger tries to bag my stuff at self checkout.

For me, on occasion its more that I behave a bit too aggressively after the gym and just need to cool off my killer instinct that I get into while training, so my responses to anything are a bit to intense for some people. Im not really mad often.

I am more relaxed after lifting, but I swear lifting keeps me somewhat sane. I feel more confident and at ease. Seems like I deal with people better.

It happens to me from time to time as well and is normally either a sign that I am over training or I have a lot of work related stress. If it continues and I start to snap at people I'll either take a week off from training or have a deload week. This seems to resolve it for me.

I have found that Titanium has helped my mood a ton. I stopped for about 2-3 weeks and BAM!!! back to my bitchy self again. I just started taking Titanium, D1 and Formula-X and have been a lot better. Titanium should also be advertised as a stress formula also. As an Athlete Titanium is a must if your married and want to stay that way. You should see some of the a$$hole$ I ride with at the end of a race season. Unfortunately I work for one of them also.

I get pissed after a lift. It's mostly because I have to go home and deal with the wifey, though. :)

Ya I get pissed sometimes when I just want to relax after that hard work, and someone in my family gives me more **** to do. Maby listen to something really relaxing on the way home? Maby even a one hit if thats an option?

Thank you for all the suggestions fella's (shopping, light cardio, Titanium etc) I will experiment with some of these options. I have realized that it only happens on a really intense day like back, legs or chest, weird!

It relaxes me, but then again I've never had much problems in the anger department.

I'm more snappy after the gym sometimes. I think i'm still in that aggressive no bull**** mode from the gym.

I usually am too exhausted to be mad. But sometimes I get horny from all the hot chicks.

That is pretty much what i have! It does go away after a bit though.
