Modern technology and a sedentary job are what make it possible for me to do hard strength training 4x/week and eat a high protein diet. As an amateur strength athlete, I am almost certainly much physically stronger than any of my ancestors that didn’t have the luxury of eating like I do, or exercising specifically for strength. We have good ways to quantify this even because we have ancient stone lifting traditions- we know how strong the strongest ancient people were, and modern people that train for strength are much much stronger- we now have small women like Chloe Brennan that are as strong as word famous strongmen were a century ago. Sometimes I hear people say strength is useless nowadays but I couldn’t disagree more. In emergency situations I have been able to push stranded cars uphill to a safer spot, carry injured people and animals to safety, move large furniture and car parts myself, etc. Being more attractive to romantic partners is no downside either, nor is being able to eat a lot and not get fat. Strength makes modern life easier and more fun.
