Men who are physically strong are more likely to have right wing political views

Obviously coming from someone with delusions (on a couple of levels). Upper body strength is useless in most jobs that matter, useless for financial planning, useless for virtually all social and business interactions. It makes someone self-reliant in the same way that being a really good ice skater makes someone more self reliant (i.e. not at all). The people I see who rely on physical strength to get through life tend to be the same people I see working security at my office (and holding the door open for me, calling me sir).

you know, strength training and physical fitness doesn't need to be a sole focus in someone's life?
 
lol @ the tricep. That's emo-muscle for jabroni posers

Maybe go find a nice aerobics class where you can listen to your fallout boy boots

When I was in my 20's I had a 23" right arm and a 22" left arm. Never wasted my time doing curls.

Laughed allot at all of the morons spending the majority of their time at the gym doing curls, but never did them.

right, because people with girly backs can't get the proper swing in their curl form. The Curl is scientifically proven to work every muscle in the body. It's like the instant breakfast of weight training

Doubtless, you've conveyed to them personally your feelings, regarding what you evidently consider to be their diminutive status.

Right to their faces, I'll wager.
 
Great Britain's DailyMail traditionally supports the Conservative Party.

Big surprise, eh?

I could post a lot of studies but I have better things to do with my time, like cut some grass.

How does upper body strength come out against a hand gun?
Assuming you get to use it at all? As more impressive, by far.

How does a handgun come out against a broken spine?
 
I didn't read through 29 pages so I am not sure if anybody touched on this.

Left leaning people are more likely to be vegitarians or vegans and right leaning people are more likely to be meat eaters.

Meat eaters will always be stronger.
 
And upper body strength helps you to, say, navigate US tax code, install software updates on your computer, work a tv remote, drive a car, etc, etc? Or don't rural people have to do those things?

Well, my upper body isn't strong enough to install software updates but it lets me pack bales and feed sacks, fall, buck and split firewood and dig post holes. You'd be surprised, too, how many city dwellers have physical jobs- I was in the best shape of my life when I lived in metro Vancouver and worked steel construction. I'm guessing you and most people you know work indoors with paper and keyboards but you might be surprised how many uneducated grunts there are who still crack a bead of sweat on the job.
And no one has ever accused me of being conservative. At times in my life I was so far left I'd be illegal in some states.
 
All this gym talk is fine but that kind of muscle can't compare to working man muscle which tend to be more like rope than balloons.

You need to understand the difference between bodybuilding and strength training. Bodybuilding builds those "balloon muscles" while strength training is all about increasing functional strength and maximizing power generation. Nothing increases functional strength better than correctly done strength training.

You want to work every muscle in your body ? Try squats. Or power cleans.

I'm well aware of the difference but most in the gym go for the body builder look not the lower weight high rep look.
