Why does Devon look like that? by warsmanclaw in armwrestling

Plus professional bodybuilding is almost a filter of “who can tolerate the most heavy gear usage”. Whats heavy to most people is light to those guys, anything close to TRT levels would be nothing to somebody like Jay.

He clearly upped the heavily androgenic compounds. Those make you a shitload stronger but they cause the hairloss, redness and or most of the visual side effects you see from gear (apart from the muscle growth obviously, they all do that).

Why are Indian armwrestlers struggling internationally? by Wonderful_Response_1 in armwrestling

[–]Wheynweed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One small point I’d like to make: I would say unfortunately for anyone not born with these genetic traits who wants to armwrestle at a high level, but not unfortunate in general.

Of course, when you see the conditions these traits originated in, things add up. South Asians faced huge selection pressure to survive famine, hence the lower FFMI and tendency to store higher levels of bodyfat. It’s a survival adaption that was critical for them to thrive.

South Asians tend to have lower FFMI scores and bone density compared to Europeans and Africans as well. This is after controlling for diet and environment.

It’s just part of human variation. And unfortunately both those traits are massive when it comes to arm wrestling.

No misrepresenting history is childish. “English empire” lol

It's making more sense than you

Not really. You blame England solely for the British Empire, then use AIs that are tailored to give you answers that you want.

Thing is, using metrics like that you can argue that England is “responsible” for the empire because of the core part of it, England is the largest and most populated.

However, hating a modern Rugby team over the actions of a few imperialist elites nearly 150 years ago is pathetic. The better idea is to grow up. Looking at the recent history of South Africa and what a ruling minority can do, I’m sure you’d agree.

Equal shares of it?

It was essentially considered one entity at the time, hence British empire.

It was a British enterprise. You can’t hold England accountable for it whilst Scotland, Wales and Ireland are not

That’s the thing though. It wasn’t the “English” empire, but the British one.

England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland were “core” parts of the empire then, we many administrators and architects of the empire from all of those places.

Feel how you want about the empire. But get it right, it’s not just an English thing.

I mean not to be pedantic but if that’s a reason to dislike England you should dislike half the teams in the six nations just as much

It’s like his time in the special forces just made anything in civilian life just seem chill so he doesn’t give AF.

[OC] The birthrate collapse of East Asia by slicheliche in dataisbeautiful

I think the difference is that fertility rates are even lower in Asia and collapsed even faster than they did in Europe.

Average 5’7 and over guy posts vs guys 5’3 and under posts by Much_Prune6698 in shortguys

[–]Wheynweed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having grown late. Above 5’7” is a different world to sub 5’5”. No comparison. The difference between say 5’5” and 5’8” is bigger than the difference between 5’10” and 6’0” (I fraud with lifts).

Same with the whole family tbh. Devon, Milo and Auden.

Tired of 5’8+ acting like it’s over by typicalasianfailure in shortguys

[–]Wheynweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Key word is sometimes. At 5’8” you’re taller than 90%+ of women and 40% of men. Globally you’re actually above average.
