Today's men not as strong as their dads

Just saw this on Fox.

telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/15/millennial-men-are-significantly-weaker-than-their-fathers/

Why do you think this is? Do you think it's related to our current political climate?

PC

In both terms

>gut education budget
>funnel every cent into football
>disregard phys ed of any other kind for every other student
>OH GOSH HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??!!

Bring back calisthenics, you dumb fucks

Low test due to a combination of environmental factors and xenoestrogens in many food products.

Xenoestrogen in food and water. Also pure estrogen in water. The shores take birth control and poss out the estrogen into the water supply. You can't filter it out unless you buy an expensive as shit filter. Lust is a deadly sin, and because it is unchecked the west is going to collapse.

>journal of Hand therapy

but they're right though really, I'm actually pretty /fit/ when it comes to lifting etc, but my hand and my grip is not even close as strong as my 40 year old coworkers

I think a good part of all that comes from us being more of keyboard-tippers than handwriters

I work in a warehouse where we lift, push, and pull heavy boxes and stuff like that i hours a day, five days a week. We've all talked at times about "dad strength", how all of our dads seem to be so much stronger than all of us, even though they don't lift wieghts or have physical jobs.

Evolution, less need for strong hands if technology does everything.

That is, 8 hours a day.

Can confirm. 60 year old father can still carry up 2 bundles of asphalt shingles 23 foot up a ladder onto a roof with no problem. I struggle with one. I feel like his generation didn't necessarily work out all the time, but the activities they did sculpted their muscles naturally.

Less manual labour. At school the one kid who grew up in a pig farm would completely embarrass anyone in an arm wrestle. He wasn't big at all, just 5 times stronger than the rest of us

I blame the world wars for killing off all the strongest men in a technologically advanced war. That and social engineering.

fpbp

What's the other term?

It's true pe is weak here as well, and it ends at 10th grade for idiots and 9th grade for people who opt in for IB

That's what they theorised on Fox, but if this is tru than one could say our weakness is becoming natural and normal. I don't really want to accept that, though. We should be putting more pressure on each other to stay /fit/

Because they were taught to HATE. BEING. MALE.

>nu-males
>trannies
>fags
>metros

All because male aggression is unnaturally suppressed.

personal computer numnuts

Damn, what could explain that? Something mental related?

What kind of activities? Less time spent inside?

I see your point, strength is inherent as well as practiced?

Well, it makes sense. The Boomers used to be able to get part-time manual labor jobs while they were in highschool or to pay their way through college. And then they became greedy fucking yuppies who prefered to rob their own children of the chance to work by hiring Paco and all his illegal border-hopping buddies because they can pay that busload of mexicans just a dollar an hour to work fields or do construction. Thanks, Reagan.

Huehuehuehue

But will we have dad strength at some point?

I think technology has made life too easy for us. Quick example, finding an item and the cheapest price locally takes a few minutes. In the 90s you has to visit each shop and take a day to figure it out.

My dad lifted weights and I started lifting weights when I was 16 or so, and really was into it in my early 20s.
I'd say my peak strength wasn't all that different than his peak strength.

Part of it may be that I live in the south, though. Manual labor has been a part of my life since I Was a kid.

Ontario?

You know how it's like when you start going to the gym and in the first weeks you get your noob gains and double your strength on some exercises? Well imagine a people who use their bodies more actively and have their noob gains at all times, not just when they lift.

Oh yeah also obesity, that doesn't help.

Everything comes also from childhood,
you would be surprised what a huge difference it makes if a kid plays around in his garden barfoot or if he plays with shoes on
this kind of stuff is marking you for your life

and nowadays kids don't even play in their gardens anymore but play video games

There are much less physical jobs today.

Its because:
>Feminist teachers take away recess and gym class as punishment during elementary school
>Estrogen rich foods
>Meme fad gluten free type diets
>Video games
>General fitness levels are far lower than they were even 15 years ago
>General pussifiying of men

I personally do 100lb plate grip strength and have juicy arms though so fuck the rest of you beta males.

Military, Volunteer firefighter most of his life, construction on family houses, worked on all kinds of vehicles and appliances, farm work as a young man.

western men wanna be girls now

at least they recognize it, the fucking jew scum works very hard to convert men in pussies

i wish i was as strong as my dad, the man has 11inch wrists while mine are 5.5inchs thick, my dick is barely 5inchs thick, it's fucked up.

What is wrong with that?

Well no fucking shit, you don't really need a study to tell that fat fucks who spend their time in front of the computer are weak.

I'm stronger than my than my dad ever was and even finally got an I'm proud of you outta him (milt dad) but I'm also stronger than 99.9% of people

>OMGGGGGGGGG YOU SHITLORDS AND YOUR TOXIC MASCULINITY IS RUINING SOCIETY

>UMMMMMMMM GUISE YOU AREN'T MASCULINE ENOUGH

PICK FUCKING ONE YOU FUCKING DUMB LOW IQ BITCHES
FUCKING GAS THE FEMNAZIS, SEX WAR NOW

>Father is a coal miner.
>Touch as fucking nails.
>When I was younger he made me work as hard as he did.
>We did similar work in the field farming, cutting and hauling lumber etc as he did in the coal mine.
>He always would tell me "this will make you tough so you can go underground and make the big money"
>He is now 60 still in the mines.
>Lungs are shot to fuck, he survived a cave in twice, fire 3 times, he hurts daily.

>I am 31.
>My lungs are shot due to birth defects, I have a spinal disease, I went from brute strong to fucking barely able to stand due to a shattered leg from a car wreck.

>I will never be as strong as him now.

Kinda sucks, but he says I got a lot of my weakness from my mothers side, and turns out he was right, but I also get cancer from his side.

just got back from the gym and it seems like everyone lifts nowadays. there's 20 or so guys I know from high school and lots more I don't know

more clickityclick.gif jobs less fuckwheredoesthatgoes.jpg jobs... result weaker hands muscle in general.... Who give a shit?

>using a rally pic
Based Fox

To be fair, many of today's men don't know their dad.

Of course, there is less physical labour to be done today.

We don't need to be as physically strong as generations past

Humans are probably going to grow weaker physically as we become more and more dependent on machines doing the majority of labor.

id be shocked if millenial sperm is potent enough to get a woman pregnant

you get grip strength from manual labor.

millennials barely work at all so its no surprise their grip strength is bad.

Pfft

I can lift more than me dad and beat his ass in since he never learned how to fight

However, my dad could fix cars and be far more suave with women then I am. Plus he like to always look presentable. Shaved, brushed hair and smelled good. He rode motorcycles and jet skis as well. So though I look good on paper, my father was more of a man than I am today.

Here's a thought, why are millennials so fucking weak when their sports facilities, knowledge and even doping options are so vastly superior to what their parents had?

>I am the only fucking white guy in my gym.

Here's what I'll say for the dindus we got here: they put the fucking work in. I was a scrawny shit once, and I worked my way out of that. I am literally drowning in lazy white shits that deny they even have a problem when they look like a goddamn folding chair.

Conclusion: whites are fucking lazy, coddled degenerates. Call it whatever, privilege, luxury upbringing, whatever. Dindus get pressured the fuck out of, and they at least make their bodies work. Whites are just disgusting apologists.

Do calisthenics on your own dipshit. If you didn't play football you're probably a faggot
And I want something to fuck that doesn't bleed 25 percent of its life. Let them.
It can't be that. I lift off and on, squat and bench both around 205 for my regular reps, I know I'm weak in the gym. When it comes to working its just easier for me than stronger friends I have. They're in school doing whatever; I'm hauling sheets, fraking, picking up side jobs, gardening, helping family members with projects and shit. It's an endurance thing. A mental thing. Most people I know just don't get it. I was helping my mom's ex in his garage and it went way smoother with just us then him and his two kids. It's not that they're stronger, they know hard work.

Life isn't as hard today as it was before. If you feel like shit because you're a pussy compared to your dad buy a gun and fuck some hookers.

>Father was a drug addict
>Sold and used drugs for years
>Lived in a tree at downtown Toronto
>Was a hippy
>Went to jail for 5 years due to drug related crimes
His only achievements came after prison time
>Became a Millwright, clean for 30 years, gave birth to 3 healthy children

While I
>Stayed clean since, ever.
>Loved my parents, stayed in school, graduated and became tradesmen
>Kept fit and had fun, 205lbs with bull chest, wide shoulders and round arms
My only failure
>Stayed single and 4ever alone

At least I got my gainz.

My father is dead so I can easily assume I am stronger than him.

:v)

>Give all the labour intensive jobs to foreigners
>Why aren't the young people strong?

The fuck do you people want?

Fuck a couple hookers dude. No excuse to be a virgin after college.

My dad carried around a 20kg box of tools with him erry day at work for years, and was a hands on electrical engineer and handy man who personally built our loft, conservatory, knocked through walls, and built our garage.

Only reason i think i became stronger than him is because im 26 and he's 66...

Jewish milk

Bruh most electricians I know use carts now. The wheel is an incredibly degenerate invention. It limits the physical capabilities of man. Sad

it's the fluoride in the water

BREAK THE CONDITIONING

>Do calisthenics on your own dipshit. If you didn't play football you're probably a faggot
That is just fucking retarded, you know how expensive football is? Imagine if every young man and boy played it? Meanwhile calisthenics costs almost nothing.
I never played football, but I lift, boxed since I was 14, hold black belts in TKD and BJJ. Fuck football faggots

TURNING THE FROGS GAY

>boomer/gen x circle jerk

I love my dad, and he's pretty strong, but I can put his ass on the ground in 2 seconds.

Same here. I'm a military vet, I lift and do BJJ, boxed when I was younger. My dad is still just way fucking stronger than me. Forearms like Pop Eye. He doesn't even lift or anything besides yard work, it's just natural strength.

You have to take into account the age difference, tough guy.

XENOESTROGENS

All manual labor has been farmed put to illegals or the entire job itself shipped off to China leaving millenials doing work that takes zero strength. If they can find a job at all.

26, lift four days a week, dad is 62 and much stronger than I am, although he never lifts and rarely exercises at all.

He wasn't fed from a plastic bottle for the first year of his life.

>wah I can't shell out 400 dollars a year. Fuck a gym membership, fuck supplements. You know what I did the summer before senior year when I was winning awards? I stayed at my grandparents. Flipped rocks and chopped wood. Ate game, not this fucking soy fed beef shit. No disrespect personally, but footballs no more expensive then the sign up fee if you're willing to work for it.

How did they find these samples exactly?

Did they go to liberal college campuses?

Who /handlet/ here?

>tfw drink lots of water
>plain tap water
>in a plastic bottle that, though bpa free, is still leaking xenoestrogens into the already fluoride and xenoestrogen laced water

Should I actually filter water? I'm ordering a glass bottle right now. Only problem is that I drink a lot of water so i'd have to constantly filter shit.

>wahh take the bait already

I doubt that it would make much of a difference. Granted, I'm in pretty good shape, and my dad wasn't exactly an Olympian.

My Dad is twice the size of me (though not so fit anymore) and I do lift. 6' at 185 lbs.

Shit is nutso.

>The guy who cries because Chad fucks his crush

>wah pay denbts already
I don't have crushes. On top of 10+ hour days I usually jack off for an hour a night

If you're old enough to buy your own glass bottles, you're beyond help. Your parents had one year to not fuck you up, and they fucked up.

>>wah I can't shell out 400 dollars a year.
We are talking about schools dumbass, if they teach calisthenics like they used to, it would be some cheaper than having 30 football teams to be able to have all the boys plays

>wah Le reddit debt maymays will show him xd

This is not a problem that can be fixed after adolescence.
If you don't have the proper nutrition/exercise/overall lifestyle during your youth, you won't reach your full potential, and no amount of work can compensate for it.

To be fair, my dad only started losing out to me in strength when I was working out every day and he started getting a bit weaker due to age (when he was around 65). I guess it can vary depending on the person.

Fml

probably the kike poisoned foods.

you have to go back muhammad

Yelp, time for me too buy an alex Jones filter

I only started working out when I was about 15, when my friends and I got memberships at the gym that was on our school grounds. I didn't know what the fuck I was doing though so who knows if it helped. My diet was also absolute dogshit.

>millennial men are weak
>posts alpha trump supporter above headline

oh boy here come the feminists to tell everyone how evil masculinity is while also shaming men for being weak

>this
funny thing is 75% of gym is asians

strength is an environmental response,
it just means it's what you require to live.
it actually implies were are improving our lot as a species
If you want to be stronger go a head, but it's a step backwards from the thinking man.
Why chop wood when you can get heat powered by an electric dam?

>Genetic engineering

White boys knew how to fight. They don't anymore. That includes you.

>listening to what cunts say

don't bother, reason with a cunt is like trying to pass a camel through an eye of a needle.

>I've worked out 5 days a week since 16.
>21 now.
>Father lost his strength at 50.
>He starts lifting again this year (53) and is already far stronger than me.

Jokes on him, I can swim better than him :' l

Euphoric as fuck
You're also fat and a shit skin

Are you a nigger or a tard speaking in the third person?

Femininity is toxic.

If it wasn't thanks to masculity society wouldn't be what it is today. Society was built under masculinity. Femininity ruins it.

Don't be afraid to be masculine bros.

All we can do is pass on what we have learnt to our sons, anons.

Don't let them go down the same path as us. Do not make the same mistakes; we know better. Encourage physical activity with your children, avoid plastics and straight-from-the-tap water. Use pyrex storage containers for food, rather than plastic ones.

Beat your wife until she's also as anal about it as you are.

>Le shitskin maymay
>cucknadians hiring Somalians to shag their wives
>"you're fat!!! "
Leaf bait people, don't fall for it

Well of course. Here in Sweden they removed mandatory conscription. So instead of putting out battle ready, fit and sharp lads in their 20's willing to pull their weight, we get manchildren sitting at home playing LoL and whining about how they cannot get a good comfy desk job. Fucking NEETs are the scum of the earth.

The kids who had stunted development are the ones who end up posting on r9k. They're never going to have sons, user.

When you get older you'll get biggee forearms and grip strength.
Like calves it requires a fuckton of repetitive use to get more.

In my case I

I'm someone calling you a folding chair. There is very little you can do because we both know this is accurate.

You don't matter to me or anyone really. If you die tommorow some turk will give your dad a new son to pay for. Your boss would replace you. The little friends you do have would ruin your funeral when they sperg like you do and get drunk then try to grope your not actually mourning sister. Kys faggot

>all these retards blaming sjws and estrogen in water
you are beyond delusional, get help
This is 100% due to socionomic and technological changes

>Meme fad gluten free type diets
Gluten intolerance is actually a real thing bro. Its genetically modified grain meant for the grain to grow shorter but produce more.

Actually gluten is probably the reason we are all so fucked up, because our bodies are not use to digesting it. I am not personally gluten intolerant though.

I will say though I am a weak shit because all I did was watch TV and play video games all day as a kid. At most I did a little cardio at school going up stairs and the little bit of gym we had.
Now I am 21 and after one heavy labor job (Lifting heavy buckets of stuff around most of the day) I feel like I got beat the fuck up.
Most of my peers are either the same or because they work out a little bit better though.
