i wish i genuinely enjoyed lifting but i just can’t get myself to 😞

Make it enjoyable! Try new exercises, continually lift heavier, go with a friend, etc. Trust me once you develop a solid routine and start noticing progress, you’ll fall in love with the process.

REAL Bench press /deadlift with the bar is just sooooo boring to me.

What feeling would you say best describes it if not enjoyment? I've had phases of frustration and neutrality and sometimes even dread, but finding just one enjoyable aspect alongside those other feelings kept me going until it became enjoyable as a whole again

ambivalence at best and dread at worst. it feels like sitting through a lecture i don’t want to go to, or doing an outing that i never wanted to

i’ve tried progressive overloading and being somewhat consistent with it a few years ago, but even then i still couldn’t get it to click :/

There’s gonna be different aspects of going to the gym that make it enjoyable depending on the person. Just being able to see the pump at the end of my session, being able to listen to music, and even seeing people at the gym that I know all make it enjoyable. Also, sometimes when I do dread going to the gym I still end up going to keep myself disciplined. I ask myself: “do you really want to lose all the progress you’ve made?”

You don't have to force yourself to enjoy something, lifting might just not be your thing and that's totally fine
