How does adrenalin work? How does it make your body 2x as strong and how can you train it to turn on and off at will?

So I know it's possible to turn it on and off at will, because my dads good friend played nfl and he said how he had to train to turn it on and off at a certain noise meaning the game is starting. He said that if he didn't learn to turn it off, he might accidentally kill someone while playing football (not in a sick twisted way, but because you have to be pumped and ready or else you could get severely hurt or even die)? So how'd he train to turn it on and off? How does adrenaline do what it does and how do to u know your body is full of adrenaline? What does the adrenaline look like?

Its usually intact in certain situations. Other than that, and my apologies, I dont know. It would be something to bring up with a trainer or doctor.

Dude, look over the section rules, there are samples of what types of questions can be asked in this section. It's becoming a regular thing that I see a post by you that has nothing to do with the section topic.

I would say that this is best suited here.

Adrenaline is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands which are right above the kidneys. When the hypothalamus (a gland in the brain) detects or senses danger it puts the body into fight or flight mode, which means that it's preparing for emergency or stress (stress in a sense that there is danger and the body is working hard to overcome it, such as a fire, or another life threatening instance). When your body enters this state the adrenal glands secrete epinephrine (adrenaline) into the blood and your blood pressure drops, glucose is dumped into the blood for extra energy and the newly released adrenaline gets your heart pumping faster to get this energizing, sugar filled blood to every part of the body. There is not a legitimate way to tell when your body is "full of adrenaline", but you can certainly tell when you have entered fight or flight mode. Have you ever felt that empty kind of nervous feeling where you don't know if you should either run or go through with something, for example a fight (ironically)? That feeling is "fight or flight" mode. You can't exactly control it like that either, so what he told you isn't exactly factual. You can control yourself however, controlling the hypothalamus and adrenal medullas from releasing the hormone is a totally involuntary muscle reaction, and has nothing to do with self control. It sounds more like he just knew how to control his actions well.

There is this one time where I was exhausted and was wearing a steel toe boot. A passing car almost hit, and I shouted 'Umak'(your mom), and the car stopped and I saw the car's rear backing white light - some thoughts went into my head. Probably it's a car full of men with melee weapons.

I ran like a big 200 meter track fucker, caring not for anything man.

My friends pretended they were doing other things. They called me and told me it was a taxi going to its office. And I was already in another block.

He said it, that's basically all there is to know. Some people can become quite addicted to the rush. But the whole system is designed to keep you safe.
