Does having a lot of muscle mass do anything for your actual health, quality of life, and longevity?

Does having a lot of muscle mass do anything for your actual health, quality of life, and longevity?

In the long run, what’s the point of resistance training if all you need to do to live long is walk and not eat like shit?

    no. the manhomosexuals that populate this board are gonna come HULKING over to this thread and tell you otherwise but they're just wrong. as long as you have mobility, good cardiovascular endurance, and as you said, eat a well balanced diet, you're fine.

    its so funny, literally only other hulking manhomosexuals care about a dudes physique. women do like muscles, but nothing you couldn't accomplish by just doing calisthenics. hulkhomosexuals are always coping but NOBODY CARES ABOUT THEIR MUSCLES

    If you go ridiculously hard and end up on the obese side of a bmi chart at below 10% bodyfat youll probably have some heart problems or something?

      Only happens with non-natty lifters, which you shouldn't even take into consideration when the topic is about health and longevity

        I dont think its impossible to be natty and do it. Ive hit 242lbs at 6'4 and i was around 12-15% it wouldve taken some serious effort but im sure i couldve gone sub 10% and maintained weight

          You were not even close to the written bf% percentages. Take it from another tall guy who used to underestimated his bodyfat levels on IST, I used to believe I was 14% because I could see some hint of abs but in hindsight I was probably 18% at that point. Lost a shitton of water weight and dropped from 245 to 200 close to actual 10%

    > According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, there are healthy body fat percentages based on your age. For people aged 20 to 39, women should aim for 21% to 32% of body fat. Men should have 8% to 19%. For people 40 to 59, women should fall between 23% to 33% and men should fall around 11% to 21%. If you’re aged 60 to 79, women should have 24% to 35% body fat and men should have 13% to 24%.

          Science can't tell you what you "should" do. If it's telling you that, it is not science.

            A reasonable person would interpret that as science saying you shouldn't eat that food.

              Yeah, sunlight can cause cancer too. Does this mean science is telling us we should only use artificial light? Does this mean you should avoid going outside? Hell no dude.
              You can't avoid doing the cost/benefit analysis. Science can't do it for you. There are always tradeoffs, and it's up to YOU to decide what the best course of action is-- it is not up to the people wearing lab coats.

              No cause one study that was probably paid of by someone who wants you to consume food Y instead of X doesn't mean much. I bet you heckin' love science you moron, don't you?

    Strength is unbelievably useful.
    We have to be able to move ourselves around in the world to achieve some goal or avoid some threat -- which sometimes means running, or climbing, or jumping, etc.
    We also have become a creature that uses tools and builds and toils. The currency of this kind of existence is strength and endurance. Technology has eased this somewhat, but it's not as if we can just build machines that build machines that build machines that build machines that do literally every physically demanding task that needs doing. Some things are heavy and there is no reasonable way to design a machine to move them in a way that's useful to us.

    Mining is still strenuous.
    Logging is still strenuous.
    Agriculture is still strenuous.
    Construction is still strenuous.
    Transportation of goods is still strenuous.

    Imagine you're going to move to a new home. Who (or what) moves the furniture onto the truck? Who moves into the new space and puts it right where you want it? I'll contend that it will never be a machine. It will, until the end of humanity, be a pair of human beings who pick up and move that couch. It's not impossible for a machine to exist that does that, but it's not economically or logistically or ergonomically worthwhile.

    tl;dr civilization is enabled by the capacity of human beings to do physical work and that will never change. You may not need strength, but you will certainly come to rely on the strength of others.
