Why are normgroids so obsessed with "fake bodybuilder muscles" and "real le functional calisthenics/construction/rockclimbing muscle"

>"Don't judge a book by it's cover"
Something about looking weak externally but still being powerful internally that appeals to them

who cares?

Most gym bros do in fact have useless muscles. They spend all day working their arms and shoulders but have no legs, for example, so are not actually strong, since your body works as an integrated whole and only as strong as the weakest link.
Likewise you are not strong just because you do some stupid gymnastics movement. You do not have some special esoteric strength.
It turns out strength is very simple and easy to quantify. What do you deadlift? That's pretty much how strong you are. Not what you look or don't look like, not what tiktok move you can do.
>>
>>76703073
That doesn't make their muscles useless. They just don't care about legs. If they wanted to be a boxer then I'd agree with you that they didn't train right
>>
>>76702890
It’s just one more out of a million ways to look down on people who are doing something positive for themselves. Generally done to soothe some nagging pain that they can’t quite place.

>>76702890
coping because normies look like shit.

I love this gif. Every time it's posted I watch it like 4 times. I wish I knew what that dog has done, and why they all fear him.

This.

For a start, he just looks older.

It also looks like a foster situation. That old dog may live there permanently, and the rest are just pups cycling through his yard.

What is the "functional" part of the picrel? Is the function to be the juggliest clown in the world?
>>
>>76703333
Yep. His piss is ubiquitous on that property. Everywhere they go they smells his piss. He has pissed in every kennel. From the time they wake up to the tome they go to bed they smell his piss. Hell, even while sleeping. He is the uncontested piss champion off the yard. And THAT'S how you show dominance.
>>
>>76703357
interesting, what is the human equivalent of pissing everywhere?
>>
>>76703073
You're half right. Normies equate strength with their grandfather or father that worked >insert shit job here< every day all day his entire life. That kind of strength is just endurance and coordination, though, most of which you can get in about 3 weeks on any jobsite.

Normies also have no idea how much effort goes into building a physique of any kind, juiced or natty - bodybuilder, athletic, calisthenics-bro, hell even cardio-bunny Stacey. Simultaneously, they have to cope their way around not looking like anything. They all tell themselves, sure, I could do that, it would be easy if I cared enough to waste my time.

With all of that in mind, though, it's all just cope. Fatso normies can sit there trash talking a physique all they want, nobody with any kind of built body cares what they say.
>>
>>76703359
The human equivalent of pissing everywhere is also pissing everywhere.

Try it. Collect your urine in a small spray bottle and take it into the workplace. Hose down every nook and cranny of the office (discretely, jesus christ check for cameras first). See if that raise doesn't come in within 2 weeks.
>>
>>76702890

It's a nice feat - I could not pull it off but it is not a kind of strength that annihilates anything else.
>>
>>76703365
This sounds just dumb enough to work. Like how retards say using your precum as cologne turns bitches on.

>>76703365
You know what anon, I'm going to try this. I control the cctv at work so that's not an issue...

It's to try and discredit them so they can feel better about themselves. It's a similar response to saying "money doesn't buy happiness" when you see a wealthy person. Both are forms of coping.
It's also just wrong, and it's used as an excuse to not workout. A muscle fiber is a muscle fiber. So while it's true that an IFBB pro bodybuilder is probably less effective at moving sandbags compared to a laborer, for 99.9% of the planet, lifting weights will make you MORE functional. God I hate normies, especially the pencil neck, narrow shoulder, patchy facial hair, media consuming reddit archetype
>>
>>76702890
It's easier for a dyel normgroid to cope and say to himself "I'm not jacked because I don't have a job/richfag hobby like mountain climbing that makes me jacked" than "I don't have the discipline to go to the gym in my free time."

They want jacked dudes to be jacked by accident so they feel better about themselves for being weak faggot normgroids.

Also
>persian calisthenics
Browns, especially arabs and jeets are the biggest dyel copers in existence

>boxing
Have you ever even thrown a punch at a bag? If you have anywhere near 5pl8 dl legs you wont ever need to worry about that as your weak point in a hadouken.

>wrestling
Uh fair enough but ive been training martial arts since 8 and self taught boxing since 10 so im not learning to get dirty and sweaty with dudes on the ground when i can basically 100% punch a fridge with my bare hand and put out more force with a heavy front hand than my old deontay wilder punch. Plus most people dont go out without backup trying to harass people and get into fights you have to be able to manage multiple opponents irl isnt the wwe.

its just jealousy and cope.
Every man wants big muscles but they dont want to do the work.
So when they see a man bigger and stronger they save face by saying shit like
>his muscles are fake
>only gays do bodybuilding
>he's compensating for a small penis etc.
Pathetic insecure behavior.
So manliness is now defined by what consumer products you buy:
>Fords are for real men, Toyotas are for queers
>Real men are Cowboys fan, Seahawks fans are all pussies.
The other metrics of modern "masculinity" are filthy looking Osama bin Laden beards because >real men dont shave.
And of course buying thousands of dollars of top of the line tactical gear to go shoot cans in the woods but never join the fucking Army.

The thing is that higher test does make you smarter, is a reault of a healthier body and well functioning endocrine system. Your brain is also responsible for signalling much of bodily function.

Its like thinking f1 drivers are smarter no theyre just lighter like a horse jockey. The false correlations come from roiding. Their fat distro gets desteoyed the brain is fat, their veins are fucked imagine what their capillaries or whatever in the brain look like. The little dick thing is roiders also, their hormones are that of a toddler more often than high unless properly using orals to keep the baseline high. Muscles being fake is partially true as they lose the strength way faster than youd think as dips and spikes in test, the more muscle you have the higher test you get but also need to maintain it.

And yeah of course someone's gonna get defensive they arent comfortable in their own skin thats their own fault.

Kek nice one mohammed, sure they are.
Muzz "fitness" is that vape shop "I'm totally a drug dealer bro" haircut, a part time job at his uncle's kebab shop, a leased audi they are behind payments on, some toothless single mums on tinder, a first cousin wife at home, pretending you go to dubai twice a year, and either a skinnyfat physique or a bloated fat watery roid physique.

Ok heres my fuckin plight when i flex i look better than a lot of fake natties but im weak as shit. I know how to cheat reps by rocking back and forth on bench i just wont start down that road because I gain a ton of size and hardness doing it my way.
>>
>>76704512
everything you just said about steroids is literal bullshit you made up in your head just now or you got from frog memes about "roidtrannys"
>>
>>76704569
Youre lying to me on the internet, a high crime punishable by getting oiled up and buttfucked until i see fit.
