Ever seen a pic of your dad in his prime? Did he look Chad or virgin?
Ever seen a pic of your dad in his prime? Did he look Chad or virgin?
>To look at it another way: In 1985, the typical 30-to-34-year-old man could squeeze your hand with 31 pounds more force than the typical woman of that age could. But today, older millennial men and women are roughly equal when it comes to grip strength.
makes sense. all this generation grabs is their dicks in one hand and their phone to watch porn in the other.
He was Chad marine
Of course men are weaker today, we don't have to work manually as much as we had to 50 years ago
Common sense
My father was a Hell's Angel back when it was a real criminal group. Absolute meathead chad.
>Grip strength
Is this supposed to mean something? Why not measure something like max bench or squat or any other actual lift?
Oh wait, you wouldn't be able to write clickbait titles like this one otherwise.
>T.
He wasn't built like a brick shithouse, but he was tall, lean, and strong. Nailed every girl he could find, until he met my mom. He can still talk to women like a Chad, making my mom jealous every time. They're in a loving marriage since 93, meanwhile I'm a virgin at 24.
My dad is 5" shorter than me and has wrists 0.5 inches bigger than mine
Why goddamnit..
It's okay son, you will make it, I believe in you.
Love from Dad.
he was a fat piece of shit and he still is
Thanks user for the kind words, but he doesn't speak English. I know he loves me, but I know he's disappointed.
Como es das, me hablo mein sonnig. J'adore du ist.
вce хopoшo, cкopo ты cдeлaeшь, я люблю тeбя
My dad had three kids already at my age. crazy to think about.
My father had to quit school and work construction to care for his younger brother, because his father died and didn't leave them with much. He now owns and runs his own construction/furniture company that he worked his ass off for, I never saw him because by the time I woke he'd have already left for work by then but there'd still always be food for me and my brother on the kitchen counter, and he always came home after I'd already passed out. Sometimes he can be a dick but I realize he never had a chance to know what a good father is, and he never had the chance at a childhood because he was busy being an adult to his brother. My father is the most Chad person I know and he's still far stronger than me and can outrun me too, I suspect he trains because his own father died of something that wouldn't have been fatal had be been in better shape.
Mine had 3 and I was on the way. Had his own house too.
He wasn't a Chad in the sense that he got model tier women, but he's always had lots of women because his standards were low and he just didn't give a shit. He was the badass type that didn't look good but was tough as nails, the typical bad guy that lots of women fall for.
he was a professionnal downhill skier with the fucking hardest leg muscles i've ever seen. he was very lean, but his fucking calves, quadriceps,hamstrings... were out of this world.
98 lbs? That's not even the 1 on Captains of Crush
There's uphill skiing?
>Grip strength isn’t quite the same thing as benching 200 pounds or doing a set of squats.
Are those two things equivalent? I can't bench 200 lbs... (yet?)
Fuck
My dad was a Chad. Now he's a schizo.
what a disappointment you must be to him
I mean there's downhill skiing (aka akpine skiing), and there's the other shit like telemark, cross country skiing, ski jumping etc.
my dad was a dyel as a young adult but is now fat but pretty strong
he's never even worked very physical jobs
he also has gorilla tier joints
his fucking wrist is like andre the giant's
i only inherited his fat fucking feet though and only have above average wrists
goddamn he's such a lucky faggot and he spoiled it by not actually doing any sports
My dads worked on a ranch his entire life, still does in his mid 50s. Wasnt very large but was always strong from manual labor. Had his first kid at 25 and two more before he was 29. Still works on the ranch plus all the gardening, carpentry and upkeep around the house and whatnot for mom. I'm bigger and stronger though I'm 6'3 272lbs I work as a mechanic so I didn't get the pussified desk job build like my brothers
That makes more sense, thanks user.
Although I can't help but feel disappointed.
i want to have the life your dad has
being a wage cuck is such a fucking shit life i constantly think about retreating to the mountains and buying sheep to herd
Downhill/alpine skiing vs. Cross-country skiing.
Dad was a manlet chad (inb4 le 6' r/lookism posts, he earned his chadness by number of confirmed pussies slayed)
I got none of it but at least I'm taller than him haha
Thanks user, still, uphill skiing would be rad. Only the fittest, strongest and bullheaded competitors would make it.
Would it be more of an arms-based sport, or legs-based sport?
i kicked the shit out of my dad and chose not to kill him when i was 15 for beating my mom. I've seen pics of my dad in highschool and he looked like a bitch. This of course was a proven observation when i accurately told him that i could kill him if I needed, then removed my chokehold.
Spoiler alert: your dad isn't your father, user.
Mostly legs, core and back I'd say, not him though
He looked like a Chad, but was actually a sorry beta cuck
he was pretty chad and used to lift some weights for a couple of years, massive full beard since he was 18 and always had big hands and thick wrists. no calves tho which he sadly passed on :(
based beyond human comprehension
He was way more Chad than me, I'm only taller and smarter, but he didn't teach me way of the Chad and left us when I was 6 or something. I was probably not worthy or he sensed I would have become to powerful?!
Absolutely chad. Was on a crew team in the 80s in college and wore tight polo shirts, aviators, topsiders and short shorts. Pretty sure he had his pick in his prime.
Omae wa mou shindeiru
>implying I have a dad
Imagine being this cucked. Take the nodadpill. All chads in the era of sports and fitness were fatherless
he has photo doing splits in the air, and photos with huge anchor chains near ships cause he was based fit seafarer as I`am now. I`m very proud of my daddy
Would there not be a lot of work on the arms to stabilise and pull you up the hill?
My dad was a major league chad. Use to be a body natty body builder back in the 70s and worked for an airline so he could spend his youth traveling the world. I’ll get a better body than he ever had one day.
my dad was an A grade cricketer and worked as a butcher for 20 years. He was pretty chad but these days he became a schizophrenic so im worried about my mental future more than i would be impressed by his youth
>left us
>chad
haha no senpai
Here's my gramps in the middle.
My father was a midge cyclist, but he blames his mom for smoking and drinking a lot, I'm 6'2 so I think my father just got the shit end of the stick
I'm 5'8'' and my dad is 6'2'', imagine being mogged from birth and never being able to overcome it.
My dad is 6'0, mom is 5'5, sister is 5'4 and i'm 6'1
Grip strength is an outdated metric for strength. Furthermore, average male strength is down because the number of men working manual jobs that require human force have both declined and changed. Even mechanics who used to have to tighten and change things by hand now have more electronic and pneumatic tools than ever before to assist them with work that used to require some sort of strength.
I really don't see why people are saying average male strength is weaker because different jobs are worked. That's already obvious and it doesn't change the fact that this generation of men is much weaker than the previous one.
Absolutely disgusting, men literally on the same tier as women now.
Me and 2 of my younger brothers have out Chadded our Dad. My old man never did sports, or went to the gym. Any amount wr lift is more than him.
He is an amazing worker, and I love him to death. I have just surpassed him in one area.
Tu t’en sortiras fiston, je crois en toi user
My dad had to serve in soviet army with churkas... As he himslef said that was only time when he was skinny
My dad was a second wave punk guy in his 20s. He seemed pretty chad, if not in the same way as the classical football star jock chad.
>kind of a geek, but could still hang with the cool kids and had several gfs before meeting my mom
>had a mullet for a bit, but shaved his head after that and always kept it like that, wasn’t even balding
>experimented with pot, but never really got into dangerous territory with drugs
>rode a Japanese cruiser motorcycle (was either a Yamaha or a Honda, can’t remember), gave it up after he met my mom
>still has his old punk leather motorcycle jacket, never wears it though
He was never really Jow Forums, but he’s always been a pretty strong guy due to house, yard and car work. He got fat after my brother and I were a thing, but he’s been doing cardio for a few years now and he’s lost most of the weight.
obrigado pela sua visita
Grip strenght is a good indicator for overall fitness. And it's really easy to measure. There is a lot of technique behind other exercises.
Dad was a paratrooper that graduated top of his class. Yeah he was a Chad since he could get any woman he wanted. He worked in construction after leaving the service so he kept his physique and endurance.
Im at least half the man he was at the same age so there's that.
Because you had a better nutrition while growing up, but still have shittier genetics.
>we
Your gonna be even more jelly my dad has been saving and spending money establishing his own cattle ranch and hacienda style compound and game cock hatchery back in Mexico to retire to, its already completely self sustaining he just has a foreman in place overseeing it and he collects revenue from it
Chad. He was an Olympic canoeist at my current age.
Soldier in Yugoslav army. Wide shoulders, small waist, tall and strong from all the heavy manual work. Now he's a doctor and even after 20 years of sedentary lifestyle, still has huge backs and forearms.
hello nebojsha
how goes life fellow south slavoid
>mexico
i'm not envious anymore tbqh fampai
Lmfao everyone in this thread belives everything their dad said and look up to them like theyr gods, i would bet 80% of this thread is 18 yo or lower.
My dad has the typical Dutch lanklet build. I am the same height but I am much broader thanks to my mom, who looks like your typical Germanic female powerlifter.
My dad was a soldier in the red army during the 1980s. One thing I remember from him when I was really young is that he had huge arms and forearms. He still has, only now they're covered in fat since he's in his late 50s.
Father was a chad in the best ways
>athletic
>encouraging
>supportive
>empathic
>popular
Taught me how to be like him and then to surpass him. Later explained to me that his father abused him, and that he decided to break the cycle. Now I carry the torch.
Could be better, we're loosing people to West Europe.
Wholesome AF. You dad wins the Dad of All Time reward
we're also losing morality in favor of transexual demons and homsexuals
Dad sounds based, good luck carrying the torch user.
this
Very nice but you still ended up here.
My dad has 8+in wrists and I have 6in wrists. The game was rigged from the start.
he's 5'10, black hair and icy blue eyes
pretty good looking dude tbqh
How do you speak with him if he doesn't know english?
He looks like he would’ve slapped the shit out of you as a kid
Grip strength seems a poor metric here. If you did manual work, or hell even stuff approaching manual work, you train your grip strength day in, day out. It's be like saying "todays men are worse at walking than their hunter gatherer ancestors" - no shit, we aren't nomadic tribes and we spend ages sitting on our ass. In terms of things like deadlift strength I suspect the difference would be reduced.
This part is clearly fucking bullshit though. "men and women are roughly equal when it comes to grip strength". Bull-fucking-shit. Pic related. For that to be true, in utero and lifetime testosterone (which even if reduced from past levels are still vastly higher than womens) would have to literally not matter. It's so conceptually retarded I almost can't believe they wrote it.
Now, I'm a younger millenial (only a year off gen z), but to speak from my experience? I don't know a single girl who has an even vaguely comparable grip strength. I don't know a single guy outside of maybe one 5'5 very thin guy I know who has a grip that wouldn't be substantially stronger than a womans.
זה בסדר, בני היקר. אני עדיין אוהב אותך וגאה בך :)
Ich bin stolz auf dich mein Sohn
So even before puberty kicks in the boys still have a very slight edge?
Es tev ticu, dēls. Tev viss sanāks
Not his prime but he was a climber for the yugoslavian team and he climbed all over the world. He still does downhill and running at 60 yrs old.
i never met my dad and was raised by my grandparents because my mom didnt want to raise me
My dad and grandpa were Chads and autistic.
you can not lift what you can not grip
He also named and first timed two climb paths after me and my brother. Hes kind of chad imo
Nem baj fiam, még így is szeretlek. Büszke vagyok rád.
My dad was a Comp Sci nerd and a badminton champion back in his college days, but had a chance to grow up in the late 80s and graduate in the early 90s and get married in 94' to my mom who went to school for fashion design.
He wasn't a chad, but he and my mom were together since childhood. He got to experience true love. I hope I can lift enough for someone to love me. I'm already almost done with College, so maybe. Just maybe.
I got a feeling that this stuff rarely happens anymore. We now live in a society where "romance" is dictated by roasties on tinder.
Being a chad doesn't mean being a 6'5 greek God, it doesn't hurt, but to truly thrive in this shitshow called life,
>truly that is chad-hood, and for your father to be one of the lucky few, im sure he's no virgin
heed not the words of whores, they are fish to an ocean, hold fast for your mermaid, she may be legend, but that may only be true because she hasnt been found yet.
Call me Autistic or a loser or whatever, but I find myself watching 80s teen romance movies and anime like 16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, Maison Ikkoku etc. I get caught in this wonder of love and experiencing things that I haven't been able to experience in my own life.
I use it as means of learning how to be and as an escape from the world now. It's kinda sad, I admit. But it's all I can do other than lift weights and try my best to be a good man.
sounds prime to me user
Asioilla on tapana järjestyä, rakas poikani
Damn your dad sounds like jonathan joestar
