Why does working out make me feel like God?

[zonties]

Hehe. it really does when i get into one of my workouts big time

Anyone else notice a similar feeling? It makes me feel kind of drugged or something, kind of immortal like when i go and hit the weights real hard

[T.I.]

umm i dont feel like god or anything, but i feel good and ****.. i feel like i can **** people up after a good workout

When you have a good workout, you get some hormones pumping in your body. Thats probably what is making you feel that way. Its kinda cool isn't it?

[zonties]

perhaps it is the brain releasing seratonin since the body is under stress....?

It's certainly better than kids who get highs through taking bad drugs

[juanca]

werent you just the other day zonties, trying to tell us how you thought so little of yourself, mainly your 16.8 biceps.....you said something about that you look so small to your eyes in the mirror, so WTF!?

today, you feel like a god or what??

[theend2]

that would be the pump man.

Increased blood pressure, chemicals being released in youre body.

i dunno sometimes i think i am small, especially when i see kids who are bigger than me, it makes me really jealous and stuff Although sometimes i'll feel big and strong

What makes me feel the most disturbed is when i see someone (Especially around my age) who is stronger than me.....that tends to hit me really badly

[juanca]

zonties, and i mean this in the nicest way, but get your self some vicoden bro.

[zonties]

May i please ask what vicoden is?? Never have heard of it before

[juanca]

i take it then that you havent gotten your wisdom teeth taken out huh?

guess not, o well.......GET THEM TAKEN OUT and then bitch about the pain alot so you get refills...

vicoden = feel happy pills

[zonties]

Sounds like some type of bad drug, no thanks.

[Martial-Artist]

then quit feelin bad everytime someone out lifts you. get your head up and forget about it. this isn't a place to put ur sorrows, it's a bodybuilding community, now be strong!

[zonties]

Well in some ways i like it even though on the other hand i feel depressed, because it makes me lift even harder my next workout. If i didn't have that as a piece of motivation, my gains could indeed be curtailed.

It shouldn't effect your gains negatively. Personally, I feel much more motivated when I'm the underdog, seems like you do too. But just ask yourself what the ideal version of yourself would do(the person you want to become), and do what you think he would do, no matter what the situation is.

The thing about me is sometimes i feel small. Sometimes i feel big.

Other people see me as a muscular kid, but sometimes my own viewpoint is distorted, very distorted.

In my college, there are about 15 kids that i know by face who are stronger than me (Though they are probably older) If i see one of them it can add to that feeling

But my arms are very close to 17 inches now, and i think realistically i am a pretty strong kid even though i don't always see that.

I bench close to 300 pounds, but sometimes i ask, "well that other guy in the gym is benching 450 pounds for reps, and i can only do 2/3 of that, i must suck" But realistically i THINK at least that i have made excellent gains for 2 1/3 years of progress.....although sometimes my other side says that i am a weakeling

proably has something to do w/ this. kinda like a "runnner's high", but it's a "workout high"

[BurgerPimp07]

Oh man, I think it's the best feeling in the world after you finish an awsome workout and just blasted through the numbers you put up the last workout.

Uhh ... that's what I live for! I live for the fact when I see a big dude, I can say to myself "bah, he's weak compared to me".

Now, what makes better training motivaiton than THAT?

[eggnite]

endorphins are the neurotransmitters that control your sense of well being. When you exercise they become more active and therefore increase your sense of well being. At least thats what i learned in psycology.

[mgnails]

ah if your pissed about others lifting more than you, just work out more and get some more of that "god" feeling happening......Its what I do, it fits the whole "I'm working mine off so I can kick yours later" saying .
