Haha, we should coding with one hand and lift weights with the other :)

#5Muscles need neurons to control them, so it makes sense that some feedback loop would exist. I remember reading about similar feedback loops between muscle growth and bone density (as you get stronger, bones benefit from being resilient to higher loads).
As I understand it, the kinetic chain goes nervous system -> muscles -> tendons -> bones. It would make sense for all of these to make each other stronger in some way.

Perhaps building/having neurons and utlizing nerurons are two different things?
You can have a very good gaming pc but if you are only using it to play solitaire then you are under utilizing the capacity/power.
I am not a neuro expert so take this with a grain of salt.

Probably not the best delivery, but perhaps use of anabolic steroids in bodybuilding could have a counteracting detrimental effect to the brain (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000632231...).

It's a lazy and dated stereotype. I know a lot of very intelligent people who spend a great deal of time lifting heavy things.
In fact, there's a joke around our campus that the engineering school needs its own fitness center due to the overall buffness of the students.

What percentage of people going to the gym takes steroids ?
