My friends told me to hit the gym. But I am afraid that If I got the muscles I might indulge in fights. What is your advice?

Question

I am an introvert nerd with anger issues. I have seen some body builders often indulge in fights. What if I became a angry muscular man?

Lmao. Well…. best advice I could give you…if you aren’t tough without muscles, you won’t be tough WITH muscles, you’ll just look scarier. You’re a brawler or you aren’t, it’s a mentality more than a physique.

One of the baddest dudes I knew was all jacked up on steroids, he definitely could lay people out…but he was laying people out back in high school when he was 50 lbs lighter, he’s just a tough kid.

Conversely, I had another friend who only half-heartedly lifted, but something about his genetics, he would absolutely swell up. It was frustrating, I was in the gym everyday, and other than being short, this kid was dwarfing me after six weeks of lifting, huge biceps and shoulders, etc. But if I ever saw him in a fight, I’d be sprinting in to come to his rescue, he’s just not a fighter, and that’s that.

So go ahead and lift, and just remember you always still are who you were before you built the muscle👍

just stay away from steroids and any other weird ass substances

going to the gym and doing it so properly, involves a lot of routine and discipline... and it also gives you a lot of relieve with stress, energy and even could help you to balance some your system... so, it might actually be helpful with these anger issues, so just try it

gym and better eating habits, will also bring better sleep (when done right) so just try

and do not worry about the fighting, lol... chances are that if you get stupid and want to take on fights, someone will put you back in place really quick and you won't want to do that again, lol

On the contrary. Working out has helped many overcome anger issues. It gives them an outlet for some of that aggression. If you're feeling particularly angry one day, go pump some iron and let that extra adrenaline push you farther

Sounds more like you got some things to work on and maybe find a healthy way to use your anger.

MaybeTony · Answer

A man who can control his calories, his sleep schedule, and push himself when he wants to quit consistently can certainly control his emotions amidst confrontation. Working out and training your body will teach you levels of discipline that most of your peers won’t have. Weak and undisciplined men are the most dangerous people in society in the same way a blunt blade is more dangerous than a sharpened one. Work out and don’t take steroids in the process. It will help you with your anger issues. I’m speaking from experience.

When you lift those weights, imagine the potent fusion of decaying vegetation and rotting wood fueling your strength. And should you find yourself in a scuffle, let the pungent whiff of skunk spray or even a hint of sewage inspire you to victory. Just remember, the key to maintaining your nerdy side is finding balance – perhaps in the delicate harmony between the earthy musk of decaying flesh and the sweet stench of overripe avocados.

But be cautious, my fellow olfactophile; while a strong physique and a keen sense of smell can be empowering, don't let your anger consume you. Instead, let it drive you to explore the world of smells and odors from sexual areas, turning your anger into a passionate pursuit of being dominated with smelly socks, maybe even leaving your socks on for weeks at a time so you can gratify yourself with them.

Self control exists sparky. Also here is the reality angry and violent doesn't do you much good if you don't know what you are doing with it. I am a fairly quiet and laid-back guy but I know how to be violent. Knowing when and how to be violent will get you farther. Also likely the reason you are angry is because you have pent up aggression start working out and you won't.

slatyb · Answer

I would never, no matter how strong I was. Have you considered getting help with your anger issues? I was pretty angry after a neglectful childhood, then eventually realized I was angry with my emotionally distant father. That was the first step to getting past it.

That's the excuse a 15 year old makes to stay out of shape.
If you're really 30 to 35 you should know by now that life is not an anime, not only will you not gain the ability to fight you will also take a lot of work and dedication to even gain muscle

coachTanthony · Answer

Men should be in the gym picking up heavy weights and putting them down. Period. All that other stuff is nonsense and excuses.

shafiya · Answer

Bruv make your body for your fitness not for indulging your self in fights. Always use your strength for defence. If you don’t have strength to fight back then are you okay to get beaten up? Think about it.

Dude, work on controlling your anger, diverting it into something constructive or positive. To go nerd for a moment, just because a D&D barbarian can rage, it doesn't always mean it has to be used to hurt those in your environment.

laly520 · Answer

before gym n muscles u need to work on ur anger issues n character

Somoneelse · Answer

Its a mentality, having bigger muscles doesn't make you angrier or more likely to get in a fight. Its your mentality that will do that. So dont worry about that.

But stay far away from steroids and other enchancement stuff. Its bad stuff.

sheikalana · Answer

I don't think going to the gym is going the increase your anger levels.

bolverk · Answer

Exercising and building muscles does not mean that you will get into fights, going to a gym will allow you to develop social skills/help with your introvert nature, and learn to deal with your anger in a situation that is controlled, and let you burn it off by taking out on a heavy bag or a body opponent bag (BOB).

handsomelad70 · Answer

If you're at all intelligent, larger muscles won't equal fights.

VV3ZZY123 · Answer

Dont be scared of fights. Sometimes you need to fight. It's better to be prepared.

OtterMan68 · Answer

exercise is a good way to take out aggression and learn discipline.

msc545 · Answer

Fighting has consequences.

You can be badly injured or killed. You can badly injure or kill someone. You can go to prison or jail. You can be sued and lose all your property and your freedom. You can lose your wife, girlfriend, other friends, and you children. You can lose your job, or be kicked out of school. And worse...

Get some therapy for the anger please. Do the workouts to feel better about your body too, but stay out of fights - not worth it.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

Getting your ass kicked a couple of times will cure you of this.

CrabCakes11 · Answer

I think addressing the underlying issues behind the worry of getting into fights would be most helpful.

exitseven · Answer

I do not think you have anything to worry about. In fact I think that intense physical excercise will help with your anger issues.

LaurenM1997 · Answer

If you are angry go to the gym and burn off steam that will help you

In_Trance · Answer

Those are two completely different things.  There's no end of guys that are jacked and have no idea how to defend themselves.
