Your personality = muscle strength

[.*my*.]

"As hypothesized, personality traits pertaining to the dimensions of neuroticism and extraversion were associated with muscle strength, independent of age, sex, race, and BMI (Table 2). The domain of neuroticism was negatively associated with muscle strength. More specifically, each one standard deviation increase in neuroticism was associated with 0.050 (p < 0.001) lower muscle strength. This association was only slightly reduced by the inclusion of extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness in the model (β = −0.042, p = 0.003) and was not moderated by gender (p = 0.631). On the other hand, a positive association was observed for extraversion (β = 0.037, p = 0.004), which remained significant after the other four personality traits were considered (β = 0.028, p = 0.036). As was the case with neuroticism, there was no significant interaction between extraversion and gender (p = 0.675)."

Interesting. Apparently, men who are less anxious and nervous in general are stronger.

Maybe we should pay attention to our mental health before we gymmaxx

No shit if you're too big for people to be able to fuck with you, you would be more confident and extroverted

No. You are big because your are genetically low in neuroticism and grew up in a low stress environment, which kept your cortisol consistently low. Low cortisol = high T

Or vice versa

Low cortisol keeps testosterone high. Low neuroticism and low anxiety = low cortisol.

high testosterone is meaningless without high androgen sensitivity in regards to bodybuilding

that is true but if you increase your testosterone you will see a growth in strength either way. Even if it doesn't change the size of the muscle it affects bones and tendons which make you stronger/
