why would you correct someone’s form instead of silently judging their tiny rom and weird thing of benching with their feet up on the bench

KyloWinter posted:The 2nd critic in that article is talking about leanness and six pack abs where the study was correlating strength and attractiveness. I wonder if she read the study I noticed this too. The first part of the article specifically mentioned that leanness was not as strongly correlated to the participants' ratings of attractiveness as the scores of the men whose pictures they used on "weightlifting machines, grip strength tests and other measures" were. I want to know more about the tests they used to evaluate strength, actually. Grip strength is legit, right? The comments about how the study doesn't really show anything about evolution are accurate though. It just demonstrates that study participants at a college in the US and another in Australia rated the attractiveness of pictures of men's torsos in a way that strongly correlated to the measures of strength of those men used in the study. Specifically, pictures of men drawn from either a gymgoing population, or a bunch of dorks from the psychology department. Any  the authors claim to have uncovered are pure speculation.

Also I feel like they should have not blurred out the faces since it's more of how attractive someones torso is study instead of how attractive they are when not judged by just half their body.

Evo psych stuff comes from a pretty legitimate basis (evo theory). The problem is it’s really hard to build a case for the claims because you need lots of cross cultural research as well as cross species research. But our closest relatives are chimps which aren’t actually that close. Then you have the backlash against it by other social scientists like this one woman in the article saying I’m glad they are treating men like pieces of meat instead of just women. Then you have lovely journalists writing bad articles about it. Etc etc. basically it’s really hard to do evo psych "You find that people cooperate, you say, 'Yeah, that contributes to their genes' perpetuating.' You find that they fight, you say, ‘Sure, that’s obvious, because it means that their genes perpetuate and not somebody else's. In fact, just about anything you find, you can make up some story for it." Chomsky

Hot takes from the Guardianquote:You don’t need to be a men’s rights activist to be troubled by the academics’ language. They talk of “weaker men of poorer quality”. The chad psychology researcher. The virgin opinion section journalist. quote:There might now follow, from a decidedly sub-Herculean specimen like me, a stream of wry self-deprecation. There might be references to bits of my body that are particularly podgy or scrawny, by way of humorous contrast with the ideal. Were this social media, I might post a picture of my hairier-than-I’d-like shoulders. I might respond to this latest confirmation of beta-male inferiority with attempts at irony or wit. He might not respond to this by changing his attitude about diet and exercise. That idea doesn't occur to him.

That article is the fitness version of the ones mega-bouge write when they're triggered by Earth Hour. "Oh, I guess I could turn off my electricity for an hour and think about what life would look like in a human civilization with a long-term future, and what could be done to bring that about...or I could go salsa dancing like the cool and fun person I am!!"

Placebo effect is real and documented in tons of situations, I'd imagine that a spotter gives you a pretty substantial psychological boost. If you wanted to really explore it, I wouldn't be surprised if the psychological benefit leads to actual, measurable neurotransmitter release which allows you to push a little harder

I did 10x10 squats every few weeks some years back and the sets I got a spot for (from the 4th or 5th or whatever) always felt lighter. Doesn't work if you know your spotter well. Has to be a stranger so you feel like you have to impress them. Mental focus is 69% of athletic performance.

Friends, my stupid arm wrestling injury seems to have gone away. But I swear, and I do not imagine this, anytime I sort of take a break for a week or so, I definitely lose some noticeable strength. But it literally comes back in 1 or 2 workouts. It's like my body peaks and de-peaks really easy or something. I'm probably going to start my cycle over and actually bump my OHP training max back 5 lbs though. It needed it anyway, I was probably only going to get 3 or 4 reps on my 1+
