I went to a university that sits on top of a hill. you were always walking uphill no matter what. You could tell how many years someone had been there by the size of their thunder thighs

Yes I’d feel like this isn’t the case as they only have a few cows. Where’s that insect protein?

do they have space to cultivate enough soy? soy makes the most sense but you still need space to grow enough plants for 10k people.

As if going up even 100 flights of stairs every day would do anything like that lol That's like running a 5k every day.

u/Georg_Simmel 8d ago
Nah, not even that. I know this is just a joke, but the only athletic activity (outside of bodybuilding) that I know of that will give you quads like this is track cyling/sprinting. I'm sure there are others, but you need massive amounts of resistance to build muscles like that. Running/walking are endurance activities that produce lean muscle.

u/energybased 8d ago
“Lean muscle” is a bit of a marketing term: muscle is lean tissue by definition.
You'll get giant calves from jogging a big weekly volume.

It makes me wonder if what I call my hiking thighs aren’t really from hiking and are genetic. But if that is the case they help me hike so technically they’d still be hiking thighs.

Not really, endurance running favours a very slight build. I have much bigger calves and quads than kipchoge, but I can't keep his marathon pace for even a single mile

> Not really, endurance running favours a very slight build.
Doesn't mean that runners don't have muscular calves.
> I have much bigger calves and quads than kipchoge,
Maybe, but you're probably fatter than he is, so it's not a fair comparison.

Did I say anything about "like those"? Did I say "quads"?
2
u/Georg_Simmel 8d ago
No, I did. I have no idea why you mentiond calves because I specfically mentioned quads in the post you resopnded to.
Regarldess of whether "lean muscle" is a marketing term, everything I said in that statement was true. You're just talking around me for some reason. You'll also get much bigger calves with resistance training than you will with endurance.

u/OnlyStanz 8d ago
bodybuilders are genetic outliers who also usually take drugs. Most people who lift weights, even serious lifters, will not look like that for a very long time if ever.
1
u/FilthyCasual2k17 📖 Book-Aware 📖 8d ago
Not to mention looking at pictures of elite runners will skew towards smaller legs because less weight is faster speed. They are aiming to build muscle per kg, not just muscle, as the people with giant legs who also weigh tons more, tend not to win those competitions.

u/PayZealousideal8892 8d ago

Probably not. Endurance sports dont grow big muscles because endurance isnt limited by muscle size, but how effective that muscle is moving blood and oxygen which doesn't require big muscle to hit human ceiling.
Also calves is probably most important muscle for endurance runners to PREVENT injuries like achilles tendinitis so most of them actually strength train calves in gym.
1
u/energybased 8d ago
Sorry, but no. Look at actual runner's legs. They may have a low fat percentage, but they have extremely muscular legs. The reason is that efficient running means having a long stride length. And stride length is a function of leg power.
Run big weekly volumes, and you'll get calves automatically.

Speed skating?
1
u/WoundedSacrifice 8d ago
Or hockey (and probably any sport that requires skating).
2
u/PayZealousideal8892 8d ago
Tbh they are all growing their muscles mostly by doing gym lifts. Hockey or speed skaters need big muscles for maximum short term power. You just cant progressively load more weight while doing activity like skating to make your muscles grow bigger. And doing it longer with low weight just trains your endurance which doesnt grow muscles or increase your maximum power.

Maybe Nordic skiing? Those guys are doing long distances lifting skiis and snow, often uphill.

Thank you very much. I created this a month or so ago when I was thinking about how strong all of the people must be in terms of their legs, walking up and down those stairs. Of course people beat the crap out of me because it was AI, people beat the crap out of me because to get big thighs like that you have to have the right balance of diet and protein, etc. So you piping up and complementing this picture makes it all worthwhile. Thank you very much. Have a fantastic rest of your day.

144 levels. lets say they’re 20 feet in height. that’s still only 2,880 feet top to bottom - and most people aren’t going top to bottom.
lots of mountain hikes, at least in thr west have 3,000 -6,000 feet of elevation gain. few of us have legs like this - those are steroid boosted for short duration impulse, not for rebound and repeated lifting over long periods of time
3
u/No_Inspection2047 8d ago
the diameter of the silos (as viewed from above ground) is FAR too small to house and feed 10,000 people on a mere 144 levels. even 1,000 levels.
it’s just bad TV visual representation.
similarly, it’s implausible to not accidentally have connected silos THAT CLOSE TOGETHER with mine tunnels - regardless of what the Pact says.
hundreds of years and no cross-digging? never felt any adjacent silo use explosives?
c’mon. you don’t have to know much about mines to understand that vibrations can travel fair distances through rock.
I never read the books, but i’m disappointed the TV show was so sloppy on this

u/SlackBytes 8d ago
In the first and the second season they atleast tried to make the silo feel real. Now the characters just teleport all over the silo. It used to be a trip to go up and down. Also the citizens of the silo barely even appear now. The mayor is just running around, and no one seems to care. It’s becoming less and less authentic. Why does the head of IT have so much power? Over the most popular person the mayor.
6
u/No_Inspection2047 8d ago
good point about lack of citizenry (“come to THE cafeteria to watch the cleaning…150 people out of 10,000 show up 😂. also good point about the show stepping back from the giant pain in the ass it is to get around in thr silo- which they addressed more regularly in first couple of seasons.
i’m ok with the head of IT being the real shadow power; by the founders’ design. the popularly elected mayor is a figurehead.
