What's the deal with this? Guys neglecting leg day?
Lots of sitting, and not a lot of crouching or sprinting.
When we say 'spineless,' what we really mean is 'assless.' As Foolsgold said, a man with a flat ass has a weak posterior chain. We already know that posture and physical gestures can affect a man's testosterone levels and his attitudes - and I believe that science will find that a weak posterior chain, i.e. literally having a weak ass, contributes to a weak mindset and tolerating abuse and disrespect from others, if studies don't already confirm that.
If a man wanted to quit being a pussy, improving his posture and strengthening his posterior chain and getting bigger legs and ass is one of the most important steps he should take.
It's also interesting how the most common terms for calling a man a pussy is a "weak ass," (624k hits on Google) or a "weak ass bitch" (391k hits). It's not a random association.
Having more muscle in general and posterior chain muscle in particular contributes makes a man feel more rooted and solid. Bigger legs and ass means more mass and a lower center of gravity. You'll notice that most guys who are spastic, fidgety, shifty have little muscle. If they gained 20-40+ lbs of muscle, their fidgeting would decline dramatically or disappear altogether. Have you ever seen a dude who was both big and spastic? Absent the influence of PCP, I'd have to say no, I've never seen a big, spastic dude. When you're muscular, all that fidgeting is just too calorically pricey.
