>Hip geometry
That sounds like a bro-science myth. Is there *really* a significant distinction across ethnicities on how your hips are shaped?

@Nikephoros multiple scientific studies with cross sections of hips and hip sockets my guy

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4384273/

They talk a bit about geometry of patient hips in this

Shows you how geometry affects the squat

I'm trying to find the PDF of the study that has data based on ethnic groups

Im not saying I don't believe that hips can have any variation, but I am skeptical that different groups (especially within the same race) have distinct tendencies in hip structure.

This study is too broad

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5004623/

Like doesn't go into minute differences in ethnicities

It just says white vs black vs asian

The difference is enough that it gives advantage to Slavic people

From an evolutionary standpoint, something like hip geometry seems too insignificant to really manifest as tribal distinctions.

I'm at work, but I will see if I have the paper saved to my computer. The difference is significant and measurable

It's not insignificant at all lol

Mongolians have weird legs for literally riding horses all the time

You walk all the time

Pick shit up

Squat etc

So, slav squatting is...genetic??

I wouldn't say squatting in the street is

But how could you not!

But they have very good physiology to squat comfortable and have a lot of power from the hole

If you believe this genetic predisposition to be real, surely the slav squat cannot be mere coincidence!

Well the reason the squat in the street is most likely cultural

Asians and Indians squat a lot

But their advantage for squatting lies in height, not the hips

But aren't are cultural traits a factor of our genes as well as our environments?

Fair enough

Thats a rhetorical question

But other cultures without pro tier hips squat a lot

Very well. Still, I gotta admit I am genuinely amazed by this ethnic hip geometry info.

Fuck I cannot find this study

I have read it before when I was researching soviet and Bulgarian weightlifting programs in the past

I can't really think of any unique examples of what environmental condition made hip geometry evolve for optimal squatting for slavs that couldn't also be reasonably expected of Anglos or other Continentals.

Basically Manlet Slavs have the best chance of weightlifting efficiency

Terrain, farming methods idk

Maybe the culture of squatting

Induced the hips
