Does anyone here lift weights? I started seriously last Friday (today was my fourth workout) for the first time in my life, and in the past few days I have developed a strong case for why the sport that most closely complements videogame-playing is weight-lifting. They match perfectly -- far more than swimming or basketball, for example (which have been my staple sports since my earliest teenage years, but which I am now phasing out so I can concentrate on getting strong).
Anyone care to guess why?
