During my gym session this morning, I was thinking about why I feel a natural impulse to screw up my facial features during particularly heavy lifts.
If I consciously decided not to let my features distort I can more or less left heavy with relatively calm features but why is the natural inclination to ball up our face like a baby with wind? Does it actually provide any kind of benefit?

Same reason we scream when we r startled or smile when happy or make any kind of expressions with our face …to communicate to our tribe
In this case it’s to communicate that we r struggling with something heavy or physically taxing and are in need of help
Screaming serves as an alarm system for the tribe…back when humans were just a less hairy version of monkeys being startled almost definitely meant being attacked by an animal and u scream to sound the alarm 😱😱 hoping the rest of ur tribe runs to safety
Smiling is communicating that u appreciate what they did …let’s say they just gave u a back rub and got rid of all the ticks and parasites that u yourself r unable to reach …u thank them with a smile 😊😊
