Even still, this trope ignores that intelligence comes in many forms, people are capabale of multi-tasking and incorporating studying/training on the side in addition to their main area of focus, and the existence of naturally intelligent/naturally strong and fit individuals, who don't need to sink hundreds of hours into studying/training to be what is considered "intelligent" or "strong".

While this is a FalseDichotomy as there's nothing inherently opposing about being strong and being smart and there are plenty of people in RealLife who are both, there a logic to the idea that there is a milde trade-off between the two traits, at least at the extreme ends of the spectrum, if we understand intelligence solely to mean BookSmart. Put simply, studying, researching, and getting the vast amount of knowledge to be deemed appropriately BookSmart requires a significant amount of time and energy, time and energy in which one is often sitting very still to read and write. That lack of physical activity, if not supplemented by exercising, can lead to physical weakness over time. GeekPhysique is this idea taken to its extreme, since being a {{Geek}} means dedicating one's time to learning about something in-depth. Though, it should be noted that you can become a "fitness geek," at which point GeekPhysique as an assumed character trait doesn't make much sense. Similarly, getting physically fit to the point of being incredibly strong requires a lot of dedication. The time that one could be using to study, read, and research, one is using to develop their muscles and strengths.

In video games that use some version of TheSixStats to balance playable characters, there will typically be options in which strength is sacrificed for intelligence, wisdom, and/or dexterity and intelligence is sacrificed for strength and/or constitution. If character upgrades are done by the game itself, then expect the bias to become even more extreme, emphasizing this point further. And some games place limits on how much EXP you can put in either stat if the base character selected is of the "opposite" type. So if you pick a character that is of the strength class, you may only be able to upgrade intelligence or [[MagicIsMental magic]] a handful of times, where as strength and endurance stats can be maxxed out.
