German Strongmen ?

[ronki23]

Is the notion of beer swilling strongmen a Bavarian thing ? Or is it not limited to Germans ? Because Slavic people are a different race to the Germanics and tend to be bigger and stronger. What about Olympic weight lifters ?

I'm not gay so this is all a bit lost on me, I'm afraid.

I wonder if the Slavs have more phenotypic expression of Neanderthal genes (what 2.5% Europeans share), and that is what allows them to get so swole, as they (n. Sapiens) were notoriously stronger than we are, even though they were shorter and stockier (Allen and bergman's rules).

Seeing how your first photo is of an Austrian, apparently whatever you're on about isn't limited to Bavarians or Germans generally.

Austria and Germany used to be one country. They're Germanic people

What about the handlebar moustaches?

Germanics aren't Slavic though and they too have the potential to get big.

The most athletic people I've seen are Africans and Slavics. 'Black' people are almost always ripped. In combat sports these two races dominate but they're not related. What gives ?

When was that, exactly?

They're Germanic people

Ah - so this is some weird race thing?

The Russians....

Oh the joy when the Russians pulled out of the Olympics back in the glory days.

McDonald's fed me free for a month.

I have a Korean friend, he's a buck forty-five to fifty soaking wet. He's one of the strongest men I've met.

Kinky.

 

[Jainarayan]

What about the handlebar moustaches?

Probably just a common style of the time, not unlike the current shaved head and facial hair fashion (yes, I rock it but I had it first ).

 

[Jainarayan]

What gives ?

Simply genetics and heredity. Particular groups of people share particular traits. Whether they’re “good” or “bad” traits is subjective and relative to a sport or any other endeavor. None of it is “racist” or ethnocentric or anything the cancel culture would love to sink its teeth into and shriek about.

Whereas Slavic people are almost always drunk.

Thread has curious racial undertones.

Well, races are a social construction that have no basis in scientific evidence, so I guess we can make up whatever fairy tale we want about them.

For example, we could conceive of the narrative that British people are genetically predisposed to being bad at cricket, compared to the much superior Indian and Kiwi races, perhaps because the Fluoride in their water drained their Cricket Energons and gave them to the colonial races instead. I'm sure if we dig a little deeper into 19th century race "science", we could come up with all kinds of funny nonsense like that.

Oh by the way, the beer swilling is not a genetic trait among Bavarians - if you observed them closely over an extended period of time, then you would quickly find that it is, in fact, the result of publically endorsed, affordable education in that field made available to Bavarians from all walks of life:
