I've had a theory recently. Four reasons for lifting weights:

lift light weights because you don't want to be muscled

lift light weights because it makes you feel strong

lift heavy weights because you know it will make you strong

lift heavy weights because you enjoy it

I lift for the two last reasons. I used to lift a light weight every so often (for instance a weight which I used to find difficult when I first started) to give me confidence and reassure me that I was getting stronger.
