I'd equate it more closely to reading a book as a leisure activity as there are noted benefits to both but neither are strictly necessary for survival.

There's also a degree of mental conditioning to it as well. Once you start feeling and seeing the results, it reinforces the workout itself as the activity responsible for that and makes the workout itself more enjoyable as a result.

Plus I just enjoy pushing myself. Mentally and physically I enjoy a challenge and powerlifting is an easily quantifiable way to accomplish that.

That's how I feel as well, I lift first thing in the morning before work and I feel like it helps carry me through the day.

Also helps to feel accomplished honestly, despite how shitty the rest of the day may be at least I did something to better myself.

Apparently I'm in the minority here but I love working out. Specifically powerlifting. Cardio is ok after the fact but I don't particularly enjoy it during, but lifting heavy is a huge stress relief and something I look forward to daily.

In general i definitely recommend buying used. For those criteria specifically I'd recommend looking for a used Honda Rebel.

If you're open to naked sport bikes with a more upright riding position you could look at cb300, z300, mt-03 which should have pretty reasonable insurance rates as well.

Also kind of depends on your size as well in my opinion, if you're 6'6 320 a 300cc may feel a bit anemic even as a beginner. Regardless I'd recommend erring on the side of smaller displacement for your first bike. While it's true that at the end of the day it does all come down to throttle control, a smaller cc bike will provide a wider margin of error as well as being lighter and more maneuverable.

I'm hoping for them to bump Yuki to Checos seat next season. I doubt they'll do anything mid season, and as much as I'd love to see Danny Ric back in the Red Bull seat I think that ship has sailed.

Yuki in the Red Bull 2024 though? And hell then throw Danny Ric in the AT.

A man can dream.

Yea it's a good question, I'm definitely guilty of it myself. Unsure how best to address it though as the convention is to post articles with the headline verbatim as the post title. Do we change that and just post articles with a spoiler free summary as the title?
