105 sats \ 4 replies \ @SatsMate 9 Feb \ on: The right real suffering mostly_harmless
I don't see putting myself through suffering that much, but I will say I do run long distances and marathons... After about 9/10 miles I would say I am suffering (not severely but I feel the pain).
What going through this teaches me is discipline, finishing goals I set for myself and mantaining peak physical shape.

Weight training is really good for this, too. You can really hurt. It feels meaningful.

Yea, I see that too! I could do better on the weight training.
My question with this is what do you do it for (other than aesthetics and ease of life)?
For running, I have a race to compete in and a PR to beat, but it seems like weight lifting doesn't have as much of these events for casuals. Thoughts?

Pure health reasons. Putting on muscle is about the most health-promoting thing you can do (as long as you're not doing something insane in another area.)

Some ex body builders turn obese in later years.
