Q: Does Lifting Really Improve Mental Health? A: Yes, the simplest evidence is; for 1-2 hours each gym day, I'm distant from toxic narsissists, and that can only be good.

My wife is a counselor and her biggest pet peeve is people saying, "I can't do X because of my mental health." or "I need to protect my mental health." People confuse personal comfort with mental health, when in reality your mental health depends greatly on pushing yourself past your comfort zone and practicing voluntary discomfort. Personal experience with the effects of lifting on mood is largely positive. When I'm already exhausted, it does not have a positive effect but it doesn't really have a negative effect. A new observation I have found is that doing any exercise outside increases this effect. I've been rucking 2.5 miles every day for the past couple weeks and I am a lot calmer. Doing something outside every day for at least 30 minutes seems to be the best way to improve my mood.

For me it is a no. In fact lifting gives me more anxiety because I am a complete non-responder to training and I hate being around all these jacked guys in the gym. In the end I had to go to the gym at 3 am to avoid everyone :(

My anecdotal experience with lifting and mental health is that starting to lift changed key parts of my life to more positive in a way that positively affected mental health as well: focus on sleep, nutrition and exercise. That is to say, I started having some regularity in sleep and emphasized getting sleep, I started having regular meals that were of good composition and size (quality and quantity improved) and I had some structure to days accompanied with activity. It's a huge deal if you come from a point of having none of those basics down. And you just feel self-efficacy, that you can control your life in some way and get things done successfully. And it's not just that you generally feel better, but all of those things balance out mood, which also feels pretty great and makes it easier to go about your day. One thing that comes to mind from mental health is that we often talk about it like there's a binary border where you either are good or not, even though these days we perhaps split it into talking about multiple different areas of mental health. While it seems to be more of that spectrum where you're somewhere and it affects your life or doesn't, there's better and worse times and you just drift into them from where you are currently. And there's a point where someone seeks help or doesn't. Of course most of us don't want to just open up on every detail of our mental health randomly, so we tend to simplify it to "I'm fine" if we can cope with things at the moment. The low energy with mental health problems is rough, because you know you should be sleeping well, eating well and exercising, but people generally struggle to get out of bed, do the dishes or anything. It's really difficult for them to move from "I know what things are good for a person" to doing it. Because if they didn't have mental health problems, they wouldn't need the advice and they'd be doing it already. It's like weight loss tips. Then again, pets seem to help some with depression like we saw the emotional support cat on Milo's lap. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been shown that cardio on top of lifting would improve the situation. Like runner's high is definitely the thing a lot of people enjoy in running and I would wage it's a different experience than what you get from lifting. "Exercise debunked for mental health benefits?" well your fault if you didn't watch the full 2,5 hours podcast.

great talk. I actually liked that you guys had to do a little more speculating on this one. The talk and answers seemed less preordained that your normal excellent talks. Maybe incorporate that more into your more typical shows where you have solid solid evidence and then go into speculation mode for short bursts. It is a nice break.

not in my case. I just get more nervous and angrier after every session until I fully recover.

For me, I do see a consistent pattern of mood being very low/bad at the end of my 5-6 week long mesocycles. Mood seems to improve during recovery/deload phases, possibly as over reaching starts to subside and recovery begins being adequate again.
