I feel the same way with exercise. People tell me that you feel good after and I never do. People tell me that you feel a "good" soreness in your body and I never do. I just feel sore.

I wonder what's different about people like you and me where we don't enjoy this process the way some other people do? Do you think it's been studied?

I used to struggle to build muscle the same way, until I switched to a paleo diet.
