It is certainly 1000 times better than doing nothing, but even athletes lift weights to complement their training because there’s nothing quite like targeting the muscles directly. But like others have commented running is also good for strengthening the back, so any sports where there’s a lot of running like soccer, football or basketball will help.

Weightlifting can be a game itself though, at least for me it is. The game is attempting to best my previous numbers every session. Very much a single player game but a game nonetheless.

Unfortunately there is no cheat code or dupe glitch to help me beat lifting, as it is way too difficult. I chose the "physically disabled" trait at birth only to learn that it was the hardmode and no way to revert, and it's pay to win to overcome. 2/10 game

That's why I have a character sheet with all my stats.
