Sadomasochism and weight lifting
ad
When you think about it we are all a bunch of sadomasochists. We enjoy the pain we inflict on our muscles in the gym. We then gain satisfaction from that pain. People who know I like to lift are always asking why I as they put it "torture" myself like that. Well cause I love it. The feeling of me against the weights. Pushing my body further when it wants to quite. Dedicating myself to something that not everyone has the heart to do. I live by the pain is weakness leaving the body mentality. Truly in my life I have proven what doesn't kill me only makes me stronger.

Try short bar bending (especially barehand), horseshoes, etc. It'll take on a whole new meaning. Strongman can be pretty brutal at times as well, especially if you're a shirtless, sleeveless stone loader, and then do it a few days later again. It's one thing to be sore all the time, a complete different story enduring real physical pain to accomplish a goal.
I like a little BDSM once every now and then lol
I like this.. This reminds me of my friend. She cuts and she feels better after it and that's a masochist.. And I tell her that's fine and dandy but she's got the masochist thing all wrong.. Swap your masochistic behavior for a better one.. liiiike working out. So she tries it and now shes addicted xD no more cutting. Lifting is very therapeutic!
Now that's a good story right there exactly what I was making.
Yeah I was really happy when it worked out. I personally struggle with problems and physical exertion makes life just a little better. Healthiest masochism i ever heard of
Damn straight.
I like your "poem" i like when im so sore that i can't even walk the next day when i can't even pick up my son cause im so sore. I love that pain.
Yeah. When your so pumped and you face everything in the gym then you go to leave and have to use effort to get in the car. I loved it when I first started lifting again. I could feel the pain and know exactly what parts I hit.
i wouldnt call it pain at all, pain and pleasure are very close yknow, i literally smile when im having an intense workout
That's exactly what im talking about. I enjoy the pleasure of an intense workout where others see pain. That's why you a junkie hooked on that feeling hahaha
exactly.
Different kind of pain. there is good pain and bad pain. and the gym IMO is there for me to better myself not torture.
Alot of people see exercise in general as torture. Its why they dont do it. I enjoy the changes it brings in me too. To me being out of shape and unhealthy should be seen more as torture for your body.
yeah I am just talking metaphorically really. My way of being poetic.
