Kids 50 years ago naturally had better bodies. Why?

1. They are Chads. These are propaganda videos and of course only those who do well with athletics are filmed. Skelly nerds existed before too

2. They are not by any means big, they look to be in the range of 150-180lbs (guessing at an average height of 6ft). They all have the typical athletic build that a healthy young male will get with regular physical activity like the calisthenics in the videos and a non shit diet

3. Get your lifts and bodyweight into decently respectable numbers and you will be able to do every single exercise they are doing. Strength is not one dimensional

Chemical castration, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle and ethnic browning

They're not really big, they're just lean.
Most of them probably had to work on a farm since they were little kids.
They had no vidya and porn and TV, they were always outside and moving.
They had much a better diet than we have today. Maybe not a lot (also why they're lean and not big), but mostly fresh, whole, healthy food. Nothing processed, nothing high in sugar (except for special occasions), not afraid of dietary fats, not afraid of carbs, not afraid of meat, eggs and dairy.
Their parents were probably also fitter than ours are, epigenetics are a thing.
And they had higher testosterone levels, because of their lifestyle.

ITS BECAUSE THEY PLAYED SPORTS in high school.

OP, those are propaganda videos. They handpicked the 1% of extremely athletic youths and then trained them harder, just to make this video.

The average kid in the mid-twentieth century was either skinnyfat or DYEL if an athlete.

This is like watching capeshit and wondering why real armies don't have Iron Men.

Their not big, they look like every farm boy from the days of manual labor.

Most of them were in boy scouts or after school programs gutted by leftists and rightists respectively

Most of them had stay at home moms who make real food with real ingredients, things gutted by the left and right respectively

Most of them had girlfriends and a chance to make money at their age, gutted by the left and the right respectively

See where this is going?

You talk about things that the right wants to preserve (actual right leaning people, not neo-con politicians) and the left wanted to and have succeeded in abolishing (not just the politicians, but regular everyday people who want to crush the cis/het/white/ patriarchy). Yet you blame both the left and right equally for it.

>formal weight training
as opposed to? Moonlighting?

Conflation of neoconservative values with genuine right wing politics is a modern scourge. Protecting culture versus protecting a 401k.

>boy scouts or after school programs gutted by leftists and rightists respectively

Do you have any proof that leftists "gutted" boy scouts?

What a waste of good discussion material, fuck off with your bullshit OP.

Calisthenics is great but it has it's limits, so does weight based training though. As everyone has pointed out it's no surprise that exercise and nutrition build muscle and strength, it's by no means magical and the contrast is aptly summarized in the difference of societal factors.

My high school was highly athletic with multiple athletic programs with multiple people running 100m sub 11 seconds with half the rugby squad deadlifting 200kg+. Even as a non athlete playing vidya all the time I hit 3plate 1rm bench in senior year.

Feats which none of those kiddos could reach. The bar on average is just set really fucking low these days.

this is the truth.

Other than legal pressure to accept trannys as 'boys' and gay men as scout leaders thus causing membership numbers to tumble?

But it's not the government's fault that people left an organization out of their own bigotry after equality was achieved.

>My high school was highly athletic with multiple athletic programs with multiple people running 100m sub 11 seconds with half the rugby squad deadlifting 200kg+. Even as a non athlete playing vidya all the time I hit 3plate 1rm bench in senior year

None of that is true

Lol. Check your own bigotry.

Food was healthier, physical education couldn't be avoided so easy, no vidya, less pollution of each races gene pool so everyone was at peak performance, no fat acceptance, etc.

Kids back then were far more active and their athletic programs weren't sissified. If you were a fat fuck that didn't do shit you got an F.

Men back then lived more active lifestyles, ate far better food, and had much high natural test levels as a result (look it up).

People these days live sedentary lifestyles and ate garbage like McDonald's all day, so of course they look like shit. However, if you look at people who do workout and eat well, they're far better than the best they had to offer 50 years go.

There's a lot of truth to this. It's the same reason why hardly any kids can draw, play an instrument, name an author, etc. As much as humanities are a meme, they really did make people well rounded in the past. PE involved cardio and weights, art involved painting and studying artists, meanwhile we barely have this at the college level.
Oh don't forget that kids can't fail anymore so those classes became what they are today.

Do Americlaps not have similar sport focused high schools? Have you never seen what kids under 18 playing for future multi million dollar contracts does?

Here's a popular Rugby League Highschool in Australia.

Sugar hadn't overrun 90% of food in grocery stores yet
Added sugar is literally the devil

boy scouts of america still exist

so do the other things

don't know where you're going with this

>majority of them are shitskins

Jesus Christ, it really is everywhere.
