Tfw i hate cardio

>tfw i hate cardio
>tfw i also hate lifting
Can anyone relate to this? I feel like a fucking alien. I don't get how people get enjoyment out of this. It's just a huge fucking chore. You know how they say that you get a runner's high after running for an hour or so? Well fuck that, it's just runner's misery and wet farts.
Lifting isn't too bad, but i also don't get how anyone could enjoy that.

>wanting immediate gratification
You'll never make it brah.

>Can anyone relate to this?
no, exercise is a joy and i thank god every day i am able bodied enough to participate

I'm like you. I hate it, but I kinda forced myself to do it for 3 years. The longer you do it the less you regret it, to a point were it just becomes a routine. People like us have to develop a stoic attitude towards this shit. Treat it lile brushing your teeth or taking a dump. It's something you just do. If you see your first noob gains, it'll become a lot easier. Don't do ir include cardio at the beginning, just lift.

I've been working out for 2 years. I keep hearing that you'll eventually grow to love it the more you do it, but it just makes me more and more miserable.

Then give up, and think of yourself of as a quitter.

I've been training for 2 years now, i'm well past my beginner's gains. They said you'd enjoy it as you go along, but it just got more and more tedious. Cardio is absolute hell, and my gains don't really matter because i'm socially inept.

It's hard not to enjoy a new PR or something. You're weird.

What I would do in your situation is set goals like being able to get into a powerlifting or bodybuilding meet

Lifting is a bit more difficult for me because i suffer from torticollis. Also i've been suffering from clinical depression for 5 years or so, so maybe my dopamine systems are just fubar.

2 things: seek treatment for torticollis.

BIGGEST THING: Depression is literally a sickness. you need to take medicine. fucking do it and watch your life improve drastically. literally everything you do is hindered by depression and seeking treatment for that will make everything so much better.

>2 things: seek treatment for torticollis.
I have, and it actually worked pretty well, but there are some weaknesses in my delts and traps that can't be worked out. I'm not in constant pain anymore, though.

Also i'm on 375mg Effexxor and 150 mg Wellbutrin already for the depression.

I used to hate exercise when I was young, partly because I didn't know what the fuck I was doing, nobody taught me what to do, and I didn't fit in with the other guys who seemed to be natural athletes.

I generally hate cardio, but if it's a good weather outside I'll drive my car somewhere nice and go for a longer run.

I didn't like lifting at first because again, I had no fucking idea what I was supposed to do. Slowly you find those things that work and start seeing results - that way it becomes enjoyable.

Keep your routines simple and efficient, eventually you can't go too long without doing something.

Try different routine, oly lifting, incorporate your lifting to another sport (start a martial art, use lifting to support that)

It it was fun and easy everybody would do it retard.
That's why only those willing to werk get to be shredded.

There's a difference between "it's hard but satisfying" and "it's both hard and not satisfying". If you run for an hour and you don't get that feel of accomplishment, then you're left with nothing but misery. And if you're able to run for an hour, then you're already well past the point where most people quit anyway.

>get bicycle
>get headphones
>put on your favourite music
>go bike around your surroundings for an hour
And that's how cardio becomes fun

Do you enjoy drugs on a regular basis and masturbate at the rate a Muslim bows to Mecca if so stop doing those things.

Nah. I jack off like twice a week or so and i really never watch porn. My libido has always been really low, and the first time i masturbated was when i was 16 or so.

>hate lifting
Maybe your CNS is weak. Look up CNS training

Ahh one more thing, just read the post about libido...
Starting taking 5,000 uid of Vitamin d3. Start taking Zinc as well.

Stop working towards an illusionary goal body and become addicted to increasing your lifts.

Ah and one final thing. Saw the post about depression. Go do some shrooms and acid, enjoy living depression free.

I'm pretty sure my libido has more to do with me being molested as a kid, but i'll read into it.

>Go do some shrooms and acid

Before you do this be very careful and read what you're getting into. It can be a good experience and definitely can help deal with depression, but you don't want to risk having a bad trip. Being helpless in your thoughts is not a very nice thing to feel.

most guys that lift, lift because they hate cardio

Man this thread is full of low test motherfuckers that ain't never gone make it.

Lifting replaces fighting. We live bullshit sedentary lifestyles that we were never meant to have. Lifting releases the energy that you should have from not having the lifestyle of hunting and war that you were supposed to. The reality is if this was back in the day when natural selection still counted, you motherfuckers wouldn't make it.

To my brethren that actually enjoy lifting: see you in Valhalla.

if you want results you have to put in work.

I normally love lifting but I'm burnt out with my job and sick of my knees and shoulders falling apart

I'd love to get back to just training; not dragging myself the gym after another shit day at work and trying to ignore the fact that my joints are gonna be popping like firecrackers the next couple of days

I hate any form of cardio too but only because I'm shit at it. I suppose everything you're bad at feels like a chore. Surprisingly I enjoy lifting despite being pretty weak. Smashing PRs, noticing progress, lifting heavy are all fun. The only thing I feel is a chore is volume work and non-maximal effort training. It's boring as shit but it's necessary to recover fully so I bare with it.
