Hopefully you see this, a bit late to replying. The trick is sticking with it long enough that it goes away. I started weightlifting about a year ago (was always healthy and enjoyed cardio based exercise regularly) and I was regularly sore and tired. I set some ambitious goals that required dedication and effort. After about four months weightlifting three to five times a week, I no longer got sore or tired. Feels worse to not lift than to lift.

I personally really enjoy achieving things, so I put some ambitious goals on paper, staked my plan with some cash that would pay out to a close friend if I failed, and got to work. I paid out enough cash that it would hurt if I didn’t achieve my goal. I paid it up front and if I succeeded it would be handed back to me. And damnit I pushed hard to get that cash back!

Finally, I never would have done this without purchasing home equipment.

Exercises are typical compound weightlifting. Bench, squats, deadlifts, presses etc. set up home equip so I could fail on my last set of bench and recover (remove fear of failure).

Gained 12lbs pure muscle, dropped some fat, look better than I’ve ever looked.

Finally, I clearly upped my testosterone level a bit with the exercise, energy and behavior changes (all positive) were noticeable. Same with posture.

Just stick with it way past what you would normally do and you can reprogram yourself!
