An ugly Roid Rage in my gym today

[johnny g]

Hello All,

Several times I have been involved in "Roid Rage - Fact or Myth" debates with other Bros on this orum. However, an incident in my gym today confirmed the seriousness of Roid Rage to me once and for all.

The Gym was surprisingly busy for a Saturday afternoon. Anyhow, one guy who does alot of Olympic lifting was dropping his weights onto the floor. The floor mat was purposely bought to facilitate this. However, a very big BodyBuilder went over to him and very abruptly told him to stop as it was putting him off. After a heated exchange and a couple of "Fuck You's", a fight started. Immediately 6 of us jumped in to break it up. It needed all 6 of us because the O.L was as strong as fuck despite being 1/2 the size of The B.B. The B.B wasn't exactly shying back either and you could tell both of them were white with rage.

Anyhow, I have never seen anything like it before. To show that level of disrespect to each other and the gym was a disgrace. Then they had the nerve to apologise to each other, shake hands, and openly attribute it in front of everyone to "a little too much juice last night". Will they get barred...of course not.

Now I'm pissed off.......

There is definately a link between aas and bugging the fuck out. Your putting hormones in your body which directly effect what makes men, men. Yes if your an asshole to begin with it, you will only be a bigger asshole. Even myself which I consider to be a pretty calm person for the most part bug the fuck out while I am tren. To put this to the test, get behind the wheel of a car in NYC. Let me know how it turns out. Record the amount of times you flip out compare to how you normally would act.

My opinion... there are assholes who use AAS. They don't represent the majority. Its just like road rage... assholes road rage. I used to before I did AAS. Now I don't. Life is short and I'm happy. I would rather talk out and issue than beat the shit out of someone these days.... call me old or say its cause I'm on probation... but I am more mellow these days!

I have come accross a couple of court cases where two bodybuilders killed their partners and the medical experts have attributed their behaviour to steroid use.
When I read both sides of the story on roid rage I really don't know what or whom to believe any more ...

What was the verdicts in these cases? Often wondered if people were successful using Roid Rage as a defence and vowing to give them up and attend Drug Rehab as a means of getting off on Probation or a lighter sentence

That makes a lot more sense. I don't know too many 180lbers that would fuck with ya if you weigh 240 lol. I would agree that the shit gives you confidence and better self feeling. Except when you get bloated lol. Thanks for clarifying that, the post originally sounded like tough guy talk. But I understand what your saying.

I cycled because I like the look aesthetically and for the female aspect - thats a vain but honest appraisal of myself. However as I gained in size I tried to be extra careful about hurting others - particularly when bouncing. Being 240lbs DOES give you confidence about how you handle yourself - you know that you could take most average Joes without problems - and with that I guess I felt that I had LESS reason to be aggressive in a confrontational situation. I was never that agressive as a Bouncer to start off with of course.

Why does this never happen at my gym?? I like breaking up fights.

Thats called using the sauce as an excuse to be an asshole. I was as asshole to many people BEFORE i started saucing (I hate the word "juice", can we ban it?) Now Im much more level headed. I dont attribute that to steroids, but its not making me freak out on people.

If you freak out while on steroids you're an immature asshole, not someone sufferring from "roid rage".

Do you think they really are affected the next morning from the amount of "juice" they had last night, LOL

Exactly... don't blame your gear for acting like a child. GROW UP!!

juice has nothing to do with it.

people get into fights over even stupider shit at your local bar every single night.

AAS does have psychological effects. That is reality, shown to be true by pharmacological studies.
Some people can handle it better than others.
Saying that it does not exist is putting your head in the sand.
The point is, you should know it. If you know that you are more prone to behave in a certain way, that knowledge should help you to control that behavior.
It is also true that asshole without AAS, asshole with AAS.
