Torture is probably the only proof that willpower exists>muh gymLifting heavy does not show willpower, neither running a bajillion kilometers, neither building a company. Your muscles, bone density, tendon stiffness, capillary density, increased motor unit recruitment, increased rate coding, neuroplasticity, better circulation, mitochondrial efficiency, and more are constantly adapting to the stress you put it under Almost everything that gets called willpower is just the result of your body adapting to the task
