Perhaps you should ask the posters on Marundes site to quite lumping all of the T-Nation folks in the old
“Love the site, but those posters over there did not even know what size the rock was…Duh”
group.
I read their thread and the majority thought that Ronnie could place in strongman but his strength was GYM only. Marunde did not appear to be joking about being stronger than Ronnie.

No, you just hear “powerlifters”, “Strongmen”, “Athletes”, constantly bringing up how weak bodybuilders are.
What you’re seeing now is the backlash.
BTW, I firmly believe its all the fanboys (powerlifting/ bodybuilding and others) who argue about this shit. Its rarely the “doers” who care.
Definetly not trying to minimize Ronnie as a matter of fact he is probably the only guy in the sport that could kick ass in powerlifting, strongman, or on the stage on any given day. In strength realted athletics i really don’t think anyone comes close to him.

i think Pudzianowski could kick ass in all of those too

jeez-S fuckin christ !
what does “did not appear to be joking” mean ? i don’t believe you’re so dense that you don’t understand trashtalk followed by a smiley face. how can you have “gym only” strength and also place in strongman ? why do you want to spin up a shit storm ?
dude i like ronnie. ronnie can do some awesome cool shit. i find it weird that ronnie fans want to dirty up a thread. and my point is why do i care what they’re talking about over on marunde’s site ? why even mention it ? it just brings this ronnie thread down. if you don’t like what they’re saying somewhere else, then somewhere else is where to deal w/ it. just go over there and engage. what’s the point of throwing fuel on a stupid fire ?

Bruce Lee summed it up perfectly,
Put every great teacher together in a room, and they’d agree about everything; put their disciples in there and they’d argue about everything. – Bruce Lee [/quote]
the thing is there actually are competitions that decide these things.

If you go to Jesse Marunde’s forum you can read a bunch of panicky strongman try to discredit those photos.
It’s funny-sad.
Ronnie is crazy strong, deal with it.
Wow,
Interesting forum. I cant believe someone who cant squat all the barrells on the WSM smith machine would talk shit on Ronnie. Ronnie is the real deal, like him or hate him, and is stronger than 85% of the strongmen out there. [/quote]
that might be true. but he took more than them for sure too

I’m a “doer” and I care.
It bothers me that fans of Ronnie think he could just crossover and do well in strongman. Other than the few static lifts I mentioned, he would get crushed. Or die in a medley.
Just like strongman would get crushed if they wore a speedo and dressed in oil. Mariusz is the only guy that would have a chance b/c he is a freak, just like Ronnie is a freak. Jesse Marunde does photo shoots for money and b/c he is a little fruity.
Compared to strongman, MOST bodybuilders are weak. If this bothers you I have no idea why. Bodybuilders are NOT trying to be strong and that should be your point. They are trying to look pretty on stage with their banana hammocks and tanned/shaved bodies.
I think a lot of bodybuilders have ego problems and get upset when someone says they aren’t strong, in general.
The best argument is bodybuilders don’t try to be strong, they try to be pretty.

And most "strong"men are fat, ugly communists who have a chalk fetish and need a spotter to see their dicks.
