There isn't any way lifting can make me dumber, right?
The body is a very complicated clusterfuck, which must be why we can't even cure simply diseases and damages despite landing satellites on asteroids and other planets.
Maybe through increased blood pressure in the brain while excerting great effort or something.
I hate being a weak DYEL, but if becoming strong means becoming a brainlet, I'd rather not.

you think Mark is dumb brah?

???

You should be fine anon, you're pretty retarded already.
>>40228627
If youre this clueless about human biology then you probably dont have to worry about being a brainlet t b h
>There isn't any way lifting can make me dumber, right?
Make you dumber? No.
>>40228627
dont worry, i lift 700lbs and im' still smart as the day i lift 135. training both body and mind is key

>landed satellites
satellites don't land. If they do they're not satellites.
>we landed asteroids
no dude we don't shoot rocks up into space. asteroids aren't even manmade they're literally space rocks.

I don't think it's possible for you to be any dumber anon.
I think you might have reached the rock bottom already, anon.

Yeah, I admit I know nothing about human biology/anatomy.
But the body is very complicated. Doesn't seem very likely, but still you never know.
Also, there is this
>According to a study published in the June 2000 edition of “Neurological Research,” cerebral blood flow velocity induced arterial pressure within the brain up to 450/380 mmHg. The authors state that "catastrophic brain injuries such as stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhage and retinal detachment have been associated with weight-lifting."

Atleast one study seems to indicate that resistance training can improve cognitive function in some areas, but that study was done with old women using machines. Barbell training, in particular squats could be very different.

do you ever wonder why you feel alive in your body, why not another body?
i think if you can answer this question, then you can answer everything
>>40228627
You calling Taleb a brainlet?
last bump
>>40228627
it certainly can
browsing /fit/ too much will make you dumber, for example
doing a stupid brosplit routine that won't get you where you want to be is going to make you dumber, because you'll insists that it's the "right routine for you"
if you're smart about it though, not only will you get stronger, look and feel better, you'll also learn something about how the human body works
and that makes you smarter
