I can imagine people having fun getting lost in the flow of playing a competitive sport. I've also heard some people experience a post-workout high. But does anyone actually feel pleasure in the moment while lifting weights, jogging, cycling, etc?

If so... what does it feel like? Is there anything the rest of us can do to cultivate such a mindset?

I've found that I've progressively stated making better grabs as I've been training - I'll keep your advise in mind.

Atm. I'm not even starting building up callouses. I'm considering maybe taking a week's break to rest my hands - but I'm feeling like I'll regress if I do this.

Probably I'm going to do "chin ups" on the wall to get better upper body / arm strength. Often when I'm struggling, I seem to get the most torn up hands.

I appreciate your advise!
