Did lifting change your mentality?

Try some tribulus :D

Tribulus is most often used for infertility, erectile dysfunction, and low libido. In the last decade, it has become popular to improve sports performance.

well I don't want to be injecting stuff and faffing about with cycles.
It's not like I want to be that big anyway so I guess I can achieve it naturally with effort and legal supplements

one of my stepsons friends takes steroids so if I really wanted them I could get them easy enough but I respect my body to much even if it's a bit out of shape right now

Massively. Became more confident in myself and around others.

Still see myself as a skinny dweeb but people seem to assure me I'm no longer like that.

I'm about 2.5 stone heavier than I was around 5 year ago. And in better shape. My weight fluctuates and I'm a hard gainer, but I think if I nail the diet one day I can look good.

Dunno, some people swear by it.
I've had a tub of it sitting on the shelf for a while, but never bothered with it for some reason.

from what I can find out studies have shown it does sweet **** all.

one said they gave half a rugby team a placebo and the other half tribulus.

the ones without tribulus had the most gains :p

some of them measured testosterone : estrogen ratios as well as testosterone levels aad there was no changes

I'll stick to protein and creatine .
(I've never been a big meat eater so I struggle to get protein from my diet)

I see this quite often people who've started lifting seriously saying it has made them a much stronger person mentally as well as physically. Has it given you a more positive outlook on life? I've seen people go as far as to say it has completely turned their life around taking them from socially awkward, forever alone bedroom dwellers to confident, alpha, poon smashers.

I've found learning each new skill/ability changed who I am.

When I started playing live in a band as a teenager, it changed my attitude & personality.

In my early 20's, getting educated further on science, philosophy, ethics & morality did the same.

Then a few years later in life learning to paint & draw to just beyond the total novice level did yet more.

As now as I'm approaching my 30's, getting into better shape & learning to lift did yet another positive change.

I do really enjoy lifting, but it's only one of many things I split my time for - but I have to say it's probably the one which has altered my average mood the most.

I wouldn't go that far, it at least gets me out of bed in the mornings, else i'd have nothing to look forward to each day.

I'm not certain tbh, probably yes but who knows. Certainly made me less lazy in general and understand the importance of consistency. I definitely wouldn't go back to being not a 'gym rat' or even someone that is vageuly nutritionally aware. The amount of facepalming I do daily from other peoples ideas of health and fitness is mind boggling.

The hardest part now is keeping motivated, most of the time I just feel like I'm just preventing regression rather than encouraging progression :(. Natty feels :(.

What he said. More than anything it has made me realise how little people understand fitness and nutrition. I could never go back now, and it has definitely opened my eyes as to how it's easy to be completely clueless at something without really realising it. What has been awared cannot be unawared.

And I don't even lift. I just pretend because I fell out with the rest of the forum and you guys don't think I smell.
