- closeparen 5y agoI know it's a pithy saying, but is it true? People tend to report the actual lifting of the weights as pretty pleasurable. It's the whole supporting lifestyle grind of consistently making it to the gym, only and always eating food whose ingredients you have weighed, etc. where you lose most people.
- andrewzah 5y agoIt's a pithy saying. It's basically shorthand for: "nobody wants to put in the work and adjust their lifestyle to achieve that goal of being ripped". But I wouldn't say doing 3x or 5x sets of lifting heavy weights ever is "fun"- you just get used to it.
- exolymph 5y ago> People tend to report the actual lifting of the weights as pretty pleasurable. well yeah, those are the people who are actually lifting the weights. the rest of us get sorted into the "don't want to lift no" category

- saltyfamiliar 5y agoAs part of the right routine and exercises, lifting weights can be very pleasant. Personally, I love doing a good set of dumbbell rows. What keeps me (and I think a lot of people) from getting ripped is the sheer consistency needed. Doing anything that isn't strictly necessary for 1-2 hours 5-6 days per week every week for years is extremely difficult imo. I get knocked off course very easily, sometimes for months at a time, and I have yet to find a solution for this.
