My brain simply isn't wired to get interested in mechanics of body building. For the same reason I also can't get interested in javascript.

physiology/JavaScript have higher entropy than other disciplines, less compressible. Or you don't know enough to see the hidden structure

So much of "I can't do this" is really "I don't care enough" (often without realizing it).

Nobody is into lifting out of interestingness it's more of a horomonal addiction that fuels it.
