Is there a point in time where I start to enjoy lifting?

I started running a year ago and liked it right away. The only "lift" that feels nice is pullups, I can feel them fixing my officeback..
Like, I'm AWARE I have to do it - for my future health, I just hate how it feels now.

If you don't enjoy it's not for you, just give up. Lifting should be consistent and sustainable over many years.
Personally I love working out, been doing for 16 years and want to go to gym even on rest days, vacations or when i'm ill

Of the strength options it's the only one I stuck to for at least a month
At the very least it's simple

Like the other feller said, if you don't like it, don't do it. Stick to running and pull-ups if you like it. Better to do a bit of strength training and good cardio consistently than failing to do a "better" workout you don't like.

I actually did just that for several years and me body looks like the same I had when my last year of college, but leaner and with BUDDING abs. I now try to add weight lifting into the mix and see if it fits with my new job (some trade)

I personally like doms and go out of my way to get doms. But many lifters here will tell you they lift consistently and dont get them and still grow.
Although shouldnt you get doms every time you progressively overload?

I always get doms when I lift very heavy in 3-5 rep range, every week for 15+ years. And i absolutely enjoy it
Although those doms are very weak compared to "noob" doms when a muscle is trained for the first few times
