Do women like muscular men? A man has more muscles and benefits
It can be seen from recent film and television works that muscular men and "rough men" have become more and more popular in recent years. Girls no longer pursue delicate "soft boys" but prefer healthy and more "manly" men.
Big guy, big charm
Women prefer V men
A study by the Department of Psychology at the University of Newcastle in the UK showed that women prefer men with a "V" shape.
The researchers asked 30 women to rank the attractiveness of 50 men with their faces covered. The researchers examined the impact of men's waist-to-chest ratio WCR, waist-to-hip ratio WHR, and body mass index BMI on women's attractiveness rankings. It was found that men with lower waist-to-chest ratios, higher their attractiveness. This means that women prefer an "inverted triangle" figure with a slender waist and a wide back.
"The broad shoulders make women feel safe." This shape is closely related to testosterone secretion in men. People with high testosterone levels may appear healthier and more energetic. It is more able to adapt to adverse environments and is more able to resist the threat posed by disease. In this way, women's aesthetics have progressive significance. Men with such a figure can not only provide women with more material resources and security, but also carry better genes, making the next generation healthier!

Muscle man, long life expectancy
Strong muscles have lower mortality rates
If a recent study told you that having all muscles can help you live longer, would you believe it?
A team of Swiss scientists conducted a 27-year survey of 1 million men in Switzerland and found that men with stronger muscles have lower mortality rates and live longer lives. Subjects were grouped according to the strength of grip strength, the number of push-ups, and the strength of calf flexion and extension. The average mortality rate in the stronger group was 20% to 35% lower than that in the other groups, and the probability of developing mental illness was even lower. Close to 65%.
Strong muscles may be the key to your longevity!
Some scholars believe that strong muscles can reduce the rate of strength and muscle loss after middle age. The muscles and strength of the human body reach their peak at the age of 20 to 30. If there is a lack of exercise, muscles will be lost at a rate of 0.5 to 1 kg per year. The loss of muscles will lead to a decrease in the body's metabolic function, which makes it easier for fat to accumulate, increase blood pressure, blood lipids and blood sugar, and decrease the body's resistance. Men with strong muscles are more resistant to muscle loss. Therefore, body functions can be better maintained and life expectancy will be longer.
Healthy men have a lower risk of developing mental illness. Intensive exercise can increase the secretion of dopamine in the body, giving people a sense of happiness and satisfaction. Therefore, men who can have strong muscles will be more optimistic and positive, and are less likely to suffer from mental illness.

Strong muscles and strong bones
Strong muscles maintain bone density
Building good muscles not only shapes your shape, but also maintains bone health.
In the past, the medical community paid more attention to and prevention of osteoporosis in women after menopause. But the study found that among older adults, 30 percent of hip fractures occurred in men and 70 percent in women. Although the incidence rate is less than half that of women, the mortality rate is twice that of women. This shows that men are more vulnerable in the world. Their bone quality and prognosis for complications are worse than women's. This is one of the reasons why the average life expectancy of men in almost all races around the world is about 7 years lower than that of women.
Muscle volume and mass in older men become loose with age--and so do women. Men exercise their muscles scientifically and maintain the weight and quality of their bones is related to their life span. Building good muscles will also add bricks and tiles to the density and weight of our bones.
Muscle exercise movements include lifting dumbbells in sitting position, lifting kettlebell down in standing position, lifting elbows back to the ground in sitting position, push-ups and similar "little swallow flying".
Among them, push-ups can train the muscles of the whole body, mainly exercising the muscles of the upper limbs, waist and abdomen, especially the chest muscles. Beginners can practice push-ups in two groups, each group of 5 to 10; athletes with a certain foundation can do 3 groups, each group of 10; high-level people can try 4 groups of 15 to 20 push-ups. Horizontal push-ups are the most difficult. You can start training step by step from easy to difficult from wall push-ups and kneeling push-ups. The most important thing in push-up training is not quantity, but quality. Every action must be done in place.
