@Variant_Number @SosaSA19 @FrenchFreakUS Overestimating the general population lol

@SosaSA19 @FrenchFreakUS He's faking it for attention. 99% of men could do at least one rep of 52kg even if it is their first time.

Personne n'en croyait ses yeux après que Clavicular AIT ÉCHOUÉ À SOULEVER seulement 52 kg😳👀 Pour rappel, il se dope.

@Syn_Saino @BossIgnostic @Liviroon @gloopbastard Bro a lot of people have a lot more to worry about than ‘what ads annoy me the most’ if ur going to the grocery store and trying to remember which brands are annoying rather than what u need to get or how to save the most money than idk what to tell u

@BossIgnostic @Liviroon @gloopbastard I was surprised about the % of people who don't have an internal voice in their head so now I'm not even surprised that most people are just like " oh I saw that in a ad let's buy it " without thinking further

does forcing people to watch ads actually increase sales like at all or is it just companies throwing money for the sadistic enjoyment of making your day just a little bit worse

@irrition @cremedupepe Well going off weight is also a misconception tbh, it should be more about body composition (how they ‘look) benching 225 is strong in general terms. Someone tall benching 225 is impressive even if they weigh 225, they might still look skinny.

Fat niggas should not be in those 225 conversations either, thats lower than your body weight fat nigga.

@YuriiSolwees @ghoulhag What is being sensitive about it gonna get u.

@ghoulhag that level of desensitization is actually terrifying to witness in person

some guy killed himself in his car outside our workplace and my soulless coworkers were just standing around like “i would have probably picked a better spot”

@Madeby_Hendrixx @maxtoscano1 I mean lat raises aren’t an athletic movement. Doubt they spend much time or any at all doing isolation exercises. They probably just do barbell shoulder presses

@maxtoscano1 what tf they using for lat raises

This is so performative. Even if you’re 300 pounds there are uses for a 20 pound weight

@reub70 @warofthewren @drive1n_manager @Ole_is_right What’s the ‘other stuff’? Is usain was as skilled as Messi he would be the greatest player of all time. Is coordination really ‘athleticism’ or is it a transferable skill? Having good footwork in football helps with footwork in basketball for example.

@warofthewren @drive1n_manager @Ole_is_right Usain Bolt is the fastest man we’ve ever seen. How many other sports would he excel in? My point is you can have the speed and jumping but without the other stuff, it’s not that useful in most contexts

This is an insane take, because pulisic is 5’10” (178 cm) and can dunk a basketball (vid in next tweet), which requires a 30-35 inch (75-90 cm) vertical jump— the *low end* of which is something that less than 1% of the general population, and approximately 5% of professional athletes can do. It is squarely in the average range (28-32 inches) for even *NBA* players He registered a top speed of approximately 21mph (35 kph)— the same as Lamar Jackson and Russell Westbrook— who are considered one of the fastest QB’s in NFL history and one of the fastest players in NBA history, respectively. That speed is, essentially, a high end for explosive runs in endurance-oriented sports. There’s no professional footballer who can be considered an “average” athlete— the same for NFL and NBA players. These guys get millions for being freaks. And they are all, legitimately, freaks.

@Jay_Andy12 @HimalayanPlaye1 @joshstrength For squats I do these explosive reps by doing 1/4 or 1/2 reps. Don’t go all the way down, then train full rep range with regular tempo. Go a little lower with ur explosive reps each time then u will get adjusted.

@HimalayanPlaye1 @joshstrength First time I tried this on squat I tweaked my back and I was like 25 I'd do it on leg press and other lifts but for most ppl prob not squats

Division 1 football players training in a compensatory acceleration style (CAT) upper body strength regimen were compared to a traditional regimen in their off-season. The CAT group was instructed to perform the positive rep as explosively as possible. The traditional group performed repetitions at a traditional tempo. At the end of both off-season training programs, both power and strength were assessed. Power was tested with a seated medicine ball throw and a force platform plyometric push-up test. Strength was assessed by a one rep max in the bench press. Both groups increased strength and power. The group that trained in a Compensatory Acceleration Training (CAT) style improved their bench press by nearly double the amount of the traditional group. Average power, as expected, increased significantly more in the group that trained explosively. Jones, K. K., Hunter, G. G., Fleisig, G. G., Escamilla, R. R., & Lemak, L. L. (1999). The effects of compensatory acceleration on upper-body strength and power in collegiate football players. Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research (Allen Press Publishing Services Inc.), 13(2), 99-105. Practical Application Fred Hatfield was ahead of his time advocating Compensatory Acceleration Training. It is simply superior! Training adaptations are not just a result of weight on the bar. Adaptations from training are a byproduct of tension and duration. You respond to how much force produced, how fast the force was produced, how long you produced it, and how many times you produced it. Force=mass x acceleration. More tension is result of greater bar speed. Maximal strength training and power adaptations can result from lifting weights with maximal force; one more reason to compensatorily accelerate weights.

@ShaneDoolittle @JerryTurin @FrenlyOfficer Depends a lot on frame aswell. Wider shoulders, wider hips, longer limbs. You carry more mass.

@JerryTurin @FrenlyOfficer Im 6' 180lbs and a 5.1 body fat according to my watch and I feel like I could lose a pound or two. I have no idea what my bmi is but over 200 lbs at 6' is fat or super built.

If you are 6’0 with a body fat of 12% and a BMI of 27, you weight 200lbs. The vast majority of men have *no business whatsoever* having their weight begin with a 2.

@DistilledWtr @RichStapless Yeah especially since injuries and ejections could happen

@RichStapless You could have 70 points in 81 out of 82 games, but if you have a 19 point game on game 45 then thats your 20 point streak

Why did I feel like this record for Wilt was like 300 games. Didn't he average 50 for a season?

@twothumbchum @NFL @OU_Football @nflnetwork @NFLPlus Football players spend majority of the their time in the weight room. Plus this is standing vert, which really only measures how strong your legs are. Basketball players have higher max verticals because they are more nimble

@NFL @OU_Football @nflnetwork @NFLPlus Is there something I’m missing? How do all these massive football players have nba level verts?

.@OU_Football DL Gracen Halton is 6'3", 293 pounds. He just launched for a 36.5" vertical. 😳 2026 NFL Combine on @nflnetwork Stream on @NFLPlus

@BananaBrice @bryan_m_b_u_3_m @InmanRoshi @JeffNippard Those people are on steroids making recovery faster. Pushing heavy close to failure is ideal. Make your muscles work and give them a reason to grow, then rest. The biggest problem I see when it comes to muscle gain is people not eating enough. Eat a fuck ton and lift a fuck ton.

@bryan_m_b_u_3_m @InmanRoshi @JeffNippard That’s simply just not true. If that were the case everyone at an elite level of body building would do it. Do you think none of those guys are training at high volume? Both can be don’t equally effectively. Just because you prefer one way doesn’t make it the best.

Our new scientific paper: the pump and hormone spikes aren’t primary drivers of muscle growth. Tension is. That means you need to train with a high level of effort, close to failure, to maximize muscle growth. Acute spikes in hormones (testosterone, GH, IGF-1) within the natural range don’t meaningfully contribute. The pump isn’t a key player, but may play a supporting role. Key takeaway: prioritize high-effort tension. Shoutout to the research team at McMaster for helping get this project done!

@elormkdaniel @Ghanabeans What about ai?

@Ghanabeans 100%

Historically, each generation is expected to surpass the one before it; to be smarter, more capable, and more innovative. That’s how progress is supposed to work. But Gen Z (Generation Z) breaks that pattern. For the first time, a generation didn’t meaningfully push civilization forward; instead, it stalled. In terms of real-world creation and foundational discovery, we didn’t advance but instead, we regressed. Look around at everything that defines modern life. The internet. Computers. Smartphones. Operating systems. Programming languages. Networking protocols. Satellites. GPS. Semiconductors. Power grids. Aviation. Modern medicine. Even the core ideas behind artificial intelligence. None of these were invented by Generation Z. They were designed, discovered, and built by previous generations long before we arrived. We didn’t create the foundations of the modern world we were born into them. Our era is defined less by invention and more by consumption. We scroll, stream, remix, optimize, and slightly improve what already exists. We polish interfaces, increase speed, change aesthetics, and repackage old ideas in new forms. That has value, but it isn’t the same as building something from nothing. Earlier generations built the tools; Generation Z mostly lives inside them. What makes this more striking is access. No generation before us had more information, cheaper computing power, global communication, and learning resources available instantly. The barriers were lower than ever. Yet despite having everything, we produced very little at the foundational level. And here’s the most interesting part: the generation after us is likely to be one of the smartest and most impactful generations yet. They will grow up surrounded by advanced technology that feels normal, not magical. When people stop being impressed by tools, they start questioning them and that’s when real innovation happens. That’s what makes Generation Z a historical anomaly: a generation that had everything handed to it, but left very little behind. History doesn’t remember who enjoyed progress. It remembers who created it.

@v2718R1ftHaz4rd @L8BL0oM3r @miniapeur Also it does kinda make sense. Since the set of all numbers is infinite, every number is technically small, since infinite numbers come after it.

@PDPCDN1415 @bestbuddy1998 Ur probably a fat midget so u don’t think the size difference is impressive.

@bestbuddy1998 Ok well that makes sense now that i know the context. Btw eating disorders are for girls, pussy

1.5 years apart. I’d like to thank McDonalds hamburger.

@ku_fallen @JesseLucasSaga Hmm, makes sense. However, when I think of ‘why does the universe exist’ I mean why does anything exist at all, including those states u mentioned. There wouldn’t be a state. Cause like always you can always go one step above and say ‘why does this exist?’

@Helky4j1 @JesseLucasSaga Cosmological Perturbation Theory suggests that the null state where no mass or energy exists is thermodynamically unstable due to its low number of possible states. Even at ground state energy, a cascade is possible such that it is more likely for something to exist than nothing.

What do the highly likely universes look like

@JesseLucasSaga Plus, the ‘chance’ of our universe existing doesn’t really matter. In another universe maybe we don’t exist but something else does, and they would come up with the same conclusion. Also we are assuming that there is only one universe bc then the chances don’t matter either

Wait is that the likelihood of the Standard Model? The pretty good probably but definitely wrong model? That's not the odds we exist because our universe isn't defined by the Standard Model, which I guess is more far-fetched than I imagined

@BSubtracti45144 @ZacPauga Also longer arms make it harder.

@ZacPauga that's just push ups as a big guy experience it's infinitely harder cause there's just more weight to move my friend who walks around at like 150 was tryna flex that he could do more pushups than me so I put his ass in side control

Funny story, my wifes water broke but she wasn’t in labor so we were trapped in the hospital waiting. I tried to do this workout and reached complete muscle failure around 800 pushups, then my wife went into labor 😂 she never lets me forget how worthless I was.

@CantForgetAnt @sheni_coker Nah it’s the opposite. I can crush a workout in 30 mins, superset and compound lifts. Hit all the muscles I want to while doing a bit of cardio. U do a more intense shorter workout it’s the same benefit as a longer workout.

@sheni_coker If you only in the gym for 60 min you not working out hard enough. Don’t shoot the messenger

If you’re fully focused on your workout, 60-90 mins max

@Famine2030 @johnsmithyson0 What r u saying? Give an example

160 and I legit hate the world. Most moral systems completely break down or produce net negatives when all externalities are factored in. The more complexity your mental model of the world is able to handle, the more likely you come to a conclusion contrary to the smaller models. Life is a wall in the park because I can optimize and manipulate cause and effect to my own benefit in direct correlation to said IQ. But my mental model of society leave me living like a Martian trapped on earth.

People have no concept of what high IQ people think like. My credentials: measured around 130s as a child, current best friend is 145 (recent) and girlfriend is like 147 (recent). They're normal ass people. They don't have a walk in the park through life. They struggle often.

@_skydollasign_ @appel_jumpscare @CryptoCoffee369 @Rainwontmiss Then any response would seem like that…

@appel_jumpscare @CryptoCoffee369 @Rainwontmiss right seems like u are in denial it’s over 😹

I need a calm but coldest response to “it's over.”
