  • 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.






  • 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.
