@T3hPwnisher
I just read your latest post and have a thought:

What if I find that the suckiness of lifting is part of the “entertainment” ?

2459

Are you suggesting a masochistic streak, or am I misunderstanding you?

2460

Well, I don’t feel like I’d enjoy training if it felt too easy.

2461

You enjoy discomfort?

2462

I guess?

2463

That’s the definition of masochism right there.

2464

Well it only applies to training. I’m about as lazy as they get in other aspects of my life :joy:

2465

3 jobs and full time studying
20,000 steps a day.

haha! I only put up with it because I enjoy my classes (and none of them actually have much work)
I also have reverse time discounting in which I’m willing to put up with discomfort in the present if it means I get to slack off in the future

2467

(for me atleast) “discomfort”, (not necessarily physical) tends to lead to results- be it lifting or learning something completely new. Results are good, so by extension so is discomfort

also- i thought masochism meant you like actual pain?

*also

is something hardworking people do. not lazy people

meh, that’s stress releif. I have an inordinate amount of free time and have trouble sitting still

2469

This is a perfectly sensible and logical mindset that I agree with. The reason for my questions above was that @anna_5588 was making it sound like she enjoyed discomfort itself, not the results of discomfort and that’s a pretty big distinction.

There’s a character in a sub par Pratchett book who’s the self titled laziest man alive. Among other things, his claim to laziness is that he keeps in very good shape because he believes that the fitter he is, the easier day to day living becomes. I would argue the same could be applied to many other fields successfully.

In terms of training, I do enjoy the actual discomfort. Particularly in terms of conditioning in which I rationally know the discomfort is counterproductive
