I'll add a third - hiked and rock climbed for years, always had some pain afterwards, even at lower body weights. Started lifting, now I hardly ever get sore after hiking and climbing, and if I do, it doesn't last long. If it does, it's a sign I'm probably coming down with something. Which also happens much less often since I started lifting. BTW, started lifting based on a book suggested on an HN thread years ago: "Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training" by Mark Rippetoe.
