When a man starts to work out, is there any physical reason that could make him !


Question: When a man starts to work out, is there any physical reason that could make him act differently?
My husband has started about a month ago to get into shape. He's working out at the gym three days a week, and doing cross fit on three more. He's taking Weight Gainers, and building muscles very quickly. The problem is that he's become a complete asshole in the process. I am wondering if working out does something, such as increase testosterone, and if so, would such an increase cause a person's personality to change? He is different to me, the kids, even others...wants to fight alot. (There is NO steroid use here.) Any suggestions would be helpful...and I will award the points quickly. Thanks in advance.

Answers:

Just from experience (as my husband works out all the time and is always taking different supplements) I noticed that some of the supplements he's taken have made him act irrationally. Even though they aren't steroids, there are some anabolic compounds that have a very similar effect on a man. My husband has taken such supplements and I demanded he stop immediately(Not only did it make him angry, he had a COMPLETE loss of libido..YIKES!)! He even had to "cycle off" them like he would if he WERE on steroids.

The reason I suspect such, is that working out releases endorphins that should naturally relieve stress. I would check out some of the products he's been using and read reviews online. This could give you a little more insight. Best of luck to you!



you pretty much got it right. Lifting weights a lot increases testosterone and can turn someone into a real d*ckhead. dont you remember all those jocks in high school that always picked on the ones smaller than them, always wanted to get into a fight, and never had a nice thing to say to anybody even their own girlfriends, why do you think that is?



he's most likely producing more testosterone than normal and isn't used to the sudden change.



There is basically no physical reason for him to act like that.
BUT there is a reason he's acting like that and it is probably his ability to boost his ego, see now that he is more fit and physically attractive [at least his body] he is probably getting a sense that he now has the ability to be in a sense "too good" to act like any regular person that isn't as fit as him. He might have been complimented at the gym, or by his friends, he might even be hanging around with the wrong bunch or wrongly influenced.
He probably still loves you all but he will need something to keep him grounded in the process. maybe you can talk to him about it and tell him that he has changed physically, in fact he looks pretty damn good, but he needs to come back down to earth and realize that just because he's physically changed doesn't mean he can act like a complete jerk. and continue by telling him that what people like more than appearance is someone with the ability to act like a complete jerk and show off, but doesn't and in fact treats people in a good way, including you guys. even tell him to be a good example to the kids.
i garantee that his needs to "fight" people is his sudden tough guy appeal... Good Luck to ya both!!
