Yup, love the adrenaline rush, the simple "get up with this heavy shit on you" on it.

After running for a decade without any spectacular performance to speak of and constant weight issues, one year of powerlifting 2x a week - not only is every single health metric better with less running, possibly the best they've ever been, at a point where they should be declining; my running is hitting PBs as well.

The downside, I'm a bore about it.
