Unironically what's the benefit of lifting heavier and heavier weights from a scientific point of view?
I can understand working out but being a powerlifter seems to have no benefit unless done for money.
Can we pass down muscle memory to kids?
Will being a gymbro make me live longer?

being a powerlifter has exclusively negative effects on the body. it's a severe strain.

Sam Hyde explains it well. Basically if your life is so fucked up that you cant even start fixing it, lifting weights teaches you how to learn to do something. The hormonal feedback rewards perseverance, discipline etc. Then after a couple months of weightlifting you might think clearly enough to figure out the next step in fixing your shithole of a life, and have enough stamina to actually do it.

There's certainly diminishing rewards after a certain point, but being stronger makes almost everything easier

not all are unique to weight lifting but several forms of fitness training seem synergistic to these benefits

there's a book called spark that focuses mostly on the research and mechanisms around exercise and brain health/function - IIRC most of the research points to a mixture of weight training, cardio and some form of dynamic stretching (yoga or the like)

What if you give up because you find out you simply can't build muscle?

Quoted By:

Pretty much any kind of exercise triggers a substantial dopamine release. As for lifting, not everyone who lifts is a powerlifter or wants to compete. I lift because I enjoy it, and because it has a grounding effect on my life. It helps keep me disciplined.

That being said, you can definitely overdo it. Gymcels who have no personality or interests outside of lifting, and people who push themselves too hard. Realistically, if you lift for long enough, there are diminishing returns for adding more weight to the bar. If you're smart, you lift heavy enough to challenge yourself, but never so heavy that you risk failure. Failing on a heavy squat or benchpress can be horrific. You can still continuously challenge yourself, but you do so but doing more reps and taking shorter breaks. And never neglect cardio and mobility work like yoga.

make you feel alive, which keeps you from suicide.
using your body doesn't matter in the modern world but we're still animals it's what we know.
running around hunting gathering building wrestling and competing is what we were doing much longer than we've been modernized.
humans haven't been fully domesticated yet.
the ones that want to lift even though it has no benefits are remnants of the past.

A balanced training regime will increase lifespan, and energy levels through the day as well (you will be able to concentrate more, for longer).

I enjoy it because it provides me with routine which if I did not have would just see me wasting the day. I would rather go to the gym for 1-2h a day than waste that time on gaming.

You can, just eat more eggs. Eat protein, push yourself to eat a lot of it, and lift the heaviest shit you can. You'll build muscle.
