Hi guys! You are the best experts. I am experiencing exercise-induced anger during intensive sessions. I’m getting a huge rage and it keeps me going through. I’m not sure if that’s normal/healthy, and why it is happening . I didn’t find any related research on this topic. Maybe you could cover it in some podcast or give references to relative research.
Thank you!
oh wow! quite an interesting observation there. No, we have not yet talked about that on the podcast, but this topic will be added to our bank for future episodes.
In the meantime, you might also want to look into the supplements you may be taking. I know Eric has told us a story before about how a certain supplement that was part of a pre-workout he used to take would have him more irritable and and moody than when he was not taking it. Might be worth logging your mood in relation to certain things like that to see if there is a connection?
Anyway, thanks again for the question! Appreciate you listening and engaging with us here on the website! 🙂
