Hulk Hogan: No such thing as roid rage

[Dezzy]

In the November 2009 issue of Men's Fitness, they feature exclusive excerpts from Hulk Hogan's new autobiography My Life Outside The Ring. In the article Hulk Hogan states that threw all the years of wrestling, he has never once seen the phenomenon known as "Roid Rage". Not once. Any thoughts?

Yeah I feel u man. I'm an asshole anyway, so their aint much difference wit me. I just thought it was crazy that he has been around pro wrestlers for 30 years or so, and never saw it.

im sure he did i see it in my more immature friends who get all pumped up and want to figth the world but hulks probably like us if he mentioned 1 guy in pro wrestling who showed signs of "roid rage" the media would be all over aas saying how horiible it is etc

 

[Tyrone]

We should all know now that it's ALL "MEDIA"...The most rage I ever had was probably road rage and probably super irritable from clenbuteral at the same time...That's about it.

 

[Iceman1800]

I agree. Roid rage is just another term for the immature inability to control one's anger

Agreed. As tyrone said...road rage. That is the only situation that i can get really pissed off. on or off the shit...there is no difference.

I, personally have always been a fuse waiting to be lit, with or without any "extra" help. But an old friend once told me early in my journey to "remember what you are doing and keep and extra cool head". Good advice that I still revert back to when things get sticky. No extra excuses for people to make why you are wrecking dumb asses that deserve it. But I do remember a story back in high school a dude told me of a friend of his that was "roid raging" so bad he ripped the steering column out of his car in traffic.

 

[LATS]

my father was very strict about losing ones temper.. when i was young i throw my fair share of fits.. he pulled me aside and said "show me a intelligent person that has temper tantrums and ill show ya someone who is not near as intelligent as you thought..".. i laughed.. and all though i disagree to a extent that a intelligent person cant have a temper i understand what he meant.. he said self control shows your true intelligence.. with that i agree..

as for the steroid issue and roid rage.. it is very silly.. if you can not control your temper on gear get the hell off the stuff.. these people are the reason for the bad press.. but, honestly, most of the time it is just a excuse for people to act up.. blame it on the gear ... not the person lack of self control.. i noticed that tren years ago made ime a bit irritable.. nothing violent at all.. just pissy in some situations.. so i got off it.. easy as that.. no excuses..

My thoughts

When I take a lot of test, dbol, or tren I need to be very careful and to never mix alcohol. It is not that I get angry per se, it is just that I am much more aggressive. I am much more likely to pull the trigger so to speak, (throw a punch, yell at someone in traffic, etc) while I am on. This is a fact, and I HATE that about me. So I have to monitor my moods when I use the above mentioned AAS.

 

[Gunsmith]

Tren causes me to get irritable pretty easy , then I relize that I'm getting mad over nothing and that pisses me off , so I would say that yes some compounds do have the ability to cause a higher sense of aggression and worse temper.

But I will say that I was far more "pissy" than I have ever been on any dose of any compound when I was dieting realy hard ,the wrong way.

Hunger leads to headaches and confusion that leads to bad attitude and zero tolerance for anything

I agree with Ivan, certain things make me more aggressive and he hit the nail on the head, "monitor" yourself and be aware of it instead of letting it make you turn into a jerk.

 

[Thebigone]

Ephedrine actually gives me more anger than any aas i've ever taken. Shit, being stressed and low on $ will make me more angry and rageful than anything. So maybe the Gov should ban working and just give us all $ if they are so quick to ban things that fuck with peoples emotions.

If you are an asshole before you go on the shit, then your just going to be a bigger asshole on the shit. Simple.

 

[LATS]

AMEN BN.. I ACTUALLY WROTE THE SAME TYHING AND ERASED IT LOL.. bill cosby once said that cocaine will intensify your personality.. then said, "but, what if your an asshole?"... very true.. these guys who blame gear are generally bad tempered before taking their first shot..

 

[homonunculus]

Consider, too, where this perception might come from.

We can add some things up:

-The compounds most notorious for causing a quick trigger are highly androgenic (e.g., tren). In addition, clomid makes some folks pretty damn moody, too.

-A BB'er is mostly likely to be on stuff, as well as recognized as a BB'er when he's dieting for a show (looking leaner, wearing less clothes, posing in the gym, etc.), which is when he's (or she's) most likely to be bitchy / an asshole / act like a dick, etc.

So, add a nice contest diet, the training rigors, etc. to make you a bit testy (pardon the pun) to a pre-contest stack of highly androgenic stuff and maybe clomid and you've got a nice set of circumstances for making folks connect steroids with rage.

-------------

Then of course, you've got the asshole effect, like BN and LATS have mentioned. Take an asshole and give him the at least perceived power that comes with being bigger and stronger from taking gear and you've got a asshole with an inflated ego - a bigger asshole... LOL

I agree with Homonunculus. When I diet, I know I personally reach a very self centered mental state and don't like to be messed with very much. I get really short with people.

BUT... I think most of the "rage" isn't directly from steroids at all. I think it's blood pressure related. If you put the puzzle pieces together, think about which compounds are more likely to cause "rage".

Anadrol
Dbol
Test
Tren
Halo?

What is one side effect that all these share? First of all, three of them cause massive rises in water retention, especially if salt and carbohyrates aren't monitored and timed appropriately. Rapid accumulation of muscle coupled with rapid accumulation of water, and your cardiovascular system now has to adjust itself. What happens? HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.

I've been on blood pressure meds since I was in my mid teens. I know what I feel like when I take my ACE inhibitor and when I don't. I know what my father was like before he had high blood pressure, while he had high blood pressure, and after he was treated for high blood pressure. I've never seen him throw temper tantrums when his blood pressure was treated.

Nobody ever gets "rage" issues from anavar, primobolan, low doses of nandrolone, etc.

High BP and high resting heart rate from water retention and or a cardiovascular system not compatible with the mass you have... and you wind up with a case of the meanies.

My two cents.-

Roid Rage is one of those media myths that we were released to give us all the labels of bad boys.

I am 35 and have never felt such thing.

Anyone can get pissed off if he is willing to, whether on juice or not.

I know that sometimes when off cycle I can be a real ass so being on really just depends if you are willing to be or not.

 

[hawkmoon]

If you are an asshole before you go on the shit, then your just going to be a bigger asshole on the shit. Simple.

This is really all there is to say about it, right here.

I've been on 1g of Test, 400mg of Tren-mix and never had the slightest bit of increased aggression as I'm very non-aggressive to begin with. No anger.
Honestly I'd enjoy a little more, for variety, but I'm just Mr. fricken laid-back-no-big-deal, on or off.

 

[russian-bodybuilder]

Roid rage is a myth, alot of idiots with complexes and psychos gravitate towards steroids use....
