I really don’t like weight lifting—it’s hard, I have to push myself, and take responsibility for how I look and feel, which is hard in and of itself.

However I do recognize that I almost always have a better mood, more motivation, and just a higher capacity to get shit done on the days that I do lift.

I don’t wanna be fat, weak, and unhealthy when I’m 40, so I’d rather just eat the frog now and just accept that it is hard work and there is no way around that.

Exactly in the same place. Started back at the gym last week. It's hard but it's necessary. Lift heavy things.

weight lifting is also so repetitive 😖 podcasts push the boredom out of it

PoW. Hard money, hard body. I recommend Bitcoin Audible’s “Anatomy of the State” for workouts. https://image.nostr.build/e748094682fc9a5e7d66710d6d3ad1e6e13fa7c5bde568a9c1a945d01db1b711.jpg https://image.nostr.build/1035bb19247c9c4dafa7cd698e97c5c8864167c2707a25566bf6b17faa94174a.jpg

I love the discipline of training for the sport of weightlifting (as opposed to the tedium of just lifting weights). In my 6th decade and as strong as ever.

Reading your experience, I am so happy I loved weightliting from the beginning. Do you know the weighted therapy blankets that autists love? To me lifting weights is doing the same. It's deeply grounding to battle gravity. It's like a massage. It's meditation. It's a deep hug though all my muscle...

Conquer your inner bitch. There are many ways to do it, but the one thing they have in common is that it will be hard. As you said, either start today or be forced to later, and it will be even harder then. It's also helpful to find someone to join you on this journey, to keep each other accountable...

My hack has been to just commit to a minimum of 15 minutes every morning in the gym (Sundays off). I don't have to lift heavy every day. I don't force myself to stay for hours. Just building the habit. It's incredible how much my mood improved just by committing a little bit of time every morning t...

Lifting has the same effects on me. I’m 70 years old, and been lifting since I was in high school. Proof of work never lets you down.

Be sure to watch this short clip before you go to the gym next time, Erik. https://youtu.be/wlLpCh-lE54?si=TYn8Zi78QPATBfeT

And worse still, it's absolutely non-linear. You work harder just to stay in the same shape let alone improve as you age.
