Where did the notion that More muscle = less intelligence come from and why does it still exist?

You can only intake so much oxygen and both the brain and muscles are fighting for it.

That is simply untrue. Manual labor does not properly provoke hypertrophy enough to optimally form large muscles. Especially when you're dumb and poor.

Some part of it is probably collider bias, the same reason attractiveness and intelligence might seem to be negatively correlated if you only look at famous people.

Silly answers. The body knows how to adapt to increased energy needs (eating more)
Anonymous at Tue, 5 Nov 2024 22:03:49 UTC No. 16464137
The higher your metabolism is the faster your brain works. The brain uses 20% of the calories burned by the body. If your base metabolic rate is 1600 calories then your brain will use 20% less energy during the day than if your base metabolic rate were 2000 calories and you will end up thinking less.

Extremes and excess over balence.
There are many in the center of the venn diagram of brains and brawn.
Due to fierce competition and specialization and momentum, and the fact that both stimulation of the mind is pleasurable (enough) and exercise stimulation of the body is pleasurable (enough), it is easily possible for a person to get carried away over the course of years with an obsession towards one particular pole at the neglect of the other.
The extremes being:
The massive body builder
And the brilliant scrawny nerd
Especially with the quick off to the races of youth.
The football player sees the benefits of their body
The nerd reads about computers and physics and machines for 10 hours a day straight

people whose job or hobby it is generally do not have the time to be a book worm, they spend their time working out/training and people whose job is to specialize rarely have the time to work out, they spend it studying. It isnt rocket science

and the answers linked in >>16464040.
this isn't a contradiction, you have to eat more, and, in the meantime, or if you don't eat enough, you are fucked.
I remember when I went from no exercise to heavy exercise 3 days a week, and I had to eat a LOT more. my muscles grew quite fast in that time. I didn't feel too tired, dumb or anything like that though, but I didn't do any intellectual work other than my daily job.

There is still an upper limit, still only so much oxygen to go around, you still have to choose between intense study or intense workout to either build your mind or muscles since time is also limited.
>>16465496
Ok, but you still sacrificed 3 hours a week of study to work out, so you are still that much dumber and have less information than if you studied or spent the time gathering more information instead.

Cope harder. I used to be 340lbs, and with the help of some /fit/izens, I got a gym membership and came up with a workout routine and lost 140lbs over the course of a year. I lift three times a week, and went from being a fat loser to being a buff loser, because lifting still can't cure my 'tism.

I'm not taking care of my body to compete with athletes that train for the sake of competition. I'm doing it for the health benefits. And if you think 3 hours a week is going to cuck you out of your intelligence, you're only exposing how low IQ you actually are. Might as well not ever sleep, if we're going to apply that logic of 'time spent on non mentally stimulating activities = less smart than anyone else who didn't do that and focused instead'. Same thing can be said about cooking, eating, going to the bathroom, showering, shaving, and even things like getting dressed. You aren't studying during that time, therefore you are now more retarded than someone who didn't do any of that and just kept reading. Great logic there, pal. Totally not coping and seething at all, I'm sure. I'll totally be the fool when some lardass who studied more than me clocks out at 47 due to heart disease, while I still keep on keepin' on. Yep. That'll certainly show me. How dare I keep myself fit instead of expanding my mind an extra 3 hours a week.

Dumb people who don't have the brains to be successful often build muscle as a coping mechanism. For them it's a desperate attempt at attaining self-worth despite being otherwise unsuccessful in life, and combined with the being stupid to begin with, they are more likely to push it to self-destructive extremes with steroids. Many low skill, low intelligence jobs involve physical labor on top of that.
Intelligent people capable of using their intelligence to be successful have no need for such copes are spending their time in other ways, so they're less likely to pursue bodybuilding to begin with, and if they decide to, it's mostly to maintain good health or as a hobby. The former is obviously mutually exclusive with going to self-destructive extremes. The latter can still lead to elf-destructive extremes, but it's tempered by intelligence, so still less likely.
TL;DR retards have nothing better to do and are likely to roid, non-retards have a lot of other things to do and if they do hit the gym, they don't roid

These are essentially the same type of mental activity, as they both require processing information. Lifting on the other hand is physical and, after just a few gym sessions, becomes a routine task that requires barely/no mental processing at all, so it can easily be combined with studying. Retard.

Steroid use decreases some forms of intelligence, literally.
Since most people can't tell bodybuilders use steroids, they confuse that with muscle mass.
This is probably one of the reasons people associate muscle with being dumb.

It's a manner of cope that there is a cap on stats which you allocate to certain attributes. The unfortunate reality is that people with the discipline, nutrition, and general capability to amass a substantial amount of muscle without steroids have higher than average intelligence.
Whenever I think of smart, educated people, I think of professor Leonard. I only think of scrawny autists when it's legitimate geniuses like Scholze.

True, it's discipline. You could easily cut out 3 hours a week from scrolling reddit, or even overlap waiting on meals in the oven, listening to music, etc with working out. If you truly want to be in shape and in good health but are unable to do so, you're simply an idiot or lack discipline.

Working out improves all areas of life. Classical literature considers a fit body a value. It has been the subject of many classical arts for several dozen centuries, an endeavor only taken by up by the intectuals. It improves blood flow, oxygenation, as well as the literal capacity one has for movement, which means a fit person can travel more and further than one who is not thus increasing his chances of learning, discovering, etc
