I've read that the rush you get from "the pump" is a function of steroid use I haven't done a ton of weight training, but I've never felt this euphoria. I've definitely felt the runner's high - but only once after a very very intense run

I've never used steroids, but I most certainly feel that kind of rush regularly.

I'm going to put this one down to interpersonal variation because I'm at best an intermediate lifter (BW 90kg, BP62.5 3x5, SQ85, DL 110 3x5) and I feel awesome after lifting weights. Same thing after doing Ashtanga Yoga. I just feel euphoric after really using my body, like, yeah, I just did that.

The variety of human experience is massive, some people are tetrachromats, some can't visualise at all, some can't experience romantic love.

"some can't experience romantic love"

Completely unrelated, but this struck me.. is this an actual thing? I have a lot of difficulty believing it
