Does anyone know of a correlation between gaining muscle and increased aggression in men? Appreciate any relevant input...

It never happened to me, when I was at my biggest I was pretty mellow. I was never one of those scream after a lift guys at the powerlifting meets, just went and got my business done. Not even a fist pump after a PR.0

No personal experience with this, and I've not come across anything on it.
If anyone else finds anything please post.0 -

Don't listen to this guy. He's super aggressive, and look at how big he is.
(I have never heard of such a thing either.)0 -
Although, now that I'm thinking about it, any such correlation would probably be more related to selection bias than anything else. People who tend to be more aggressive may self-select for lifting/bodybuilding at higher rates in order to feed psychological needs.0

Only case I can think of would be with the use of steroids.0

It'd seem more logical to me to see a correlation between aggression and cutting. :laugh:0

I was thinking the same thing. Or steroids (increased test, increase aggression I suppose).
I recently started a bulk in the last month and have noticed no difference. Other than being full all the time.0 -

No kidding! Some days it's a struggle to eat all the cals I need! Ugh.0 -
Nahhhhh, I mean I might get myself pumped up if im going for a 1RM and I do have a tendancy to grunt and drop things, but im overly calm.0

Thanks for the input. I was hoping it was environment related.
I am new to lifting and this is the beginning of my second bulk cycle. During the first bulk cycle I gained 30# in 3 mo. Just weight gainer, workout, food, vitamins, food, workout, food... It was quite difficult due to the fact that I work 13hrs nights + commute + 2hrs of workouts day. Running on about 3-4 hours of sleep per day for an extended period of time and my body always ached.
I was good at containing my aggression, but it was taxing at times. The people that I allow in my life are good people and deserve to be treated well. Attempting to do it better this time around. Just felt I needed to check myself before the second bulk.

The aggression probably had a lot more to do with getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night than running a calorie surplus.0 -

I am not sure if you would call it aggression - but being bish and cutting is for me.0 -

I would never imply that you're aggressive Sara, because you're lovely and beautiful (not at all because you could easily bench me and toss me across the room like a stuffed animal). Here have some flowers, and uh, chocolate. :flowerforyou:0 -

This makes a lot of sense.0 -
I think it's more of a stereotype people have from media and a misunderstanding of testosterone + a positive attitude from exercise.
