Came here to say this. I’m currently listening to “Nothing Like It in the World” by Steven Ambrose. I’ve got through lots of history and other classics while working out.

Right, it's not like you have to think much about moving the weight once form is established. May as well listen to something, or write an essay in your head.

I think strength training is more important.

Becoming strong makes you more mentally astute. The brain and body are totally connected.

Plus, if you are genetically predisposed to being weak, you can counteract that easily with strength training.

If you are genetically not very bright, there's honestly not much you can do. You might as well become strong.

If you are naturally intelligent, there's not much you have to do to stay intelligent. You'll naturally seek out information and learn. The internet makes this incredibly easy.

I've had the opposite problem. I work in IT, and I constantly find myself trapped in my head and completely neglecting my body. Thankfully, testosterone still gives me the ability to lift a car if needed, but I have not been keeping up and have hurt myself overexerting.

Plato would kick his ass....literally

Or even just getting into a convo with any serious gym bro about sports nutrition and muscle biology ....
