Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I had a really pissed-off day problems with the girlfriend at home and also work issues. Nothing I can't handle but it made me really mad so I went to the gym and I had plan on hitting all time PR’s and did. do you think that it's a psychological thing or do you think that anger actually helps you push more weights
you shouldn't get angry while weight training, you should be happy and content
i like to train when im angry i can lift more
i take the anger out on the weights and feel better after imo

Anger brings more energy and strength
For sure but don't rely on it
Absolutely it helps but don’t chase the anger. Use it if it comes but don’t try to recreate it
Motivation is good but don't over train in anger....
Its a good way to channel your anger!

Have you heard of an anger-junkie? There's a whole field of addiction specialists. It dumps adrenaline and dopamine into the blood for fight of flight and it's cheaper than a cup of coffee. In fact some nations have rebuilt after wars based on arousing their citizens to be angry at like the versailles treaty.
People who are angry too much, for whatever, tend to have strained cardiovascular systems which isn't good.
I agree with Stevesmi above, if your form is out of whack you can actually injure your body...and it doesn't take much effort to break like an index finger, all you need is to hit the wrong angle.
Channeling your anger is great to hit PR, but just be careful since anger is an wild animal and it can be abused.

Absolutely that can make a difference. Think about the opposite scenario where you really don't feel like training that day......your workout will likely be shit.
