No lie. Lifting has been life-changing for me. I was a short, fuccboi asian guy and always thought lifting was for meatheads but once I started I absolutely loved it. It’s the greatest form of self-therapy... almost like prayer but in a physical expression.
I train MMA 3 times a week and I started it as a form of therapy, very similar end result. Same endorphin rush after every session. I've lifted before, just didn't find it as engaging. I think it's important to have a physical outlet and should be something you enjoy so you keep at it whether it's lifting, martial arts, biking, climbing, swimming, whatever it is.
It doesn't have to suck. I used to hate lifting... but I wanted a built body. So I used neuroplasticity to my advantage and suggest others do also. Every time you lift, literally think in your head 'I love this, this is fun' and you will gradually rewire your brain. You will eventually enjoy it. If you combine a good training program, progressive overload, and proper eating to build the muscle, you will get bigger which will further reward you and help sway you to genuinely enjoying it. Neuroplasticity is a real and amazing thing that can be used for all kinds of situations in life.
Also, if getting girls to notice you helps as motivation, you don't even have to get that big for the glances to start.

Rachel Maddow comes on during my gym time. Needless to say, I slam weights.
Sounds like you need a new gym or a universal remote?
