I think aggression is a mind game. Some people can't take a challenge and get scared, while others can take that challenge and excel against all expectations. In order to alter yourself into becoming aggressive you need to be confident. In order to be confident you need to psych yourself up before the big lift, or before the big game as athletes do.I used to be awrestler back in my high school. We had this meditation coach whom we all thought was a big joke and the laughing stock of the team when we first heard about him. However, after our first meeting with him, our thoughts quickly changed. Our first meeting was held two hours before the first match. We laid down on the floor, and relaxed our muscles. He then told us to visualize ourselves in the on the mat, feeling confident, relaxed, really fast and beating the crap out of our opponents. Right after we did that we went out and did a motivational chant and some cheers to get us pumped up. Our coach taught us how to be confident first, and then helped us spike our aggression right before the match to become leaders in the district. We got 2nd the the district title that year, I firmly believe that it was all thanks to the help of our meditation coach.My advice to you is to meditate, see yourself doing your workout, and lifting some heavy weight. Then get yourself pumped up with some music or a workout partner. Aggression is completely mental, but it's amazing how your mind power can control your body.
