I started doing barbell strength training several months ago and the results have been dramatic, I went into some details here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34325900 (lots of people sharing experiences on the parent post)

In terms of weight, muscle development etc. the results have been good but what I wasn't expecting was all the other benefits - better posture, mental clarity, emotional stability, increased physical energy etc. I didn't realize what a big deal this was going to be - like previously I would make up a lot of excuses to stay home because going out seemed tiring, now it doesn't and I'm out doing basically everything more often.
