What lift or event is the biggest indicator of strength? A person with shorter arms might have a great bench press but be less impressive in the deadlift; a longer armed indivdual might be the reverse. Is Iran’s super heavyweight Rezazadeh stronger than Poland’s strongman Marius Pudzianowski? A Kenyan marithoner could cross the finish line at the Boston Marithon, have dinner and be back in Kenya before I cross the line, but I bet I’d have a better front squat than him; does that make me stronger? Just food for thought.
Clearly it’s who ever has the biggest dick.
hahahahaha…it’s funny cause it’s true.
it means that your muscles which were used for that excercise(i.e. quads,hams,glutes) would be stronger than his. In my opinion overall strength would be the highest load used for the most compound excercise possible, i.e using the most muscles possible. So in my opinion the deadlift or possibly the clean would be an accurate test of strength. Then you also have more functional type strenth, like lifting irregular shaped objects-which the Strongman competition is based on.

Actually ya know it doesn’t matter. We all know the most functional people are the crossfitters!!
In fact, Hanley’s answer is as good as it gets. We all have thought about that at one moment or another, I suppose.
It’s not important whether Reza is stronger than Pudz (although it’s fun to speculate about it).
Both of them are way far ahead of us, mere mortals, and they are so specialized, because of the specifics of their respective sports, that it is stupid to say “So, you’re the strongest guy in the world, why can’t you snatch/farmer walk more than the other?”
But we all know that, of course. Food for thought is good, but I prefer steaks.
You can’t compare the strongest squatter with the strongest deadlifter. There is no strongest man in the world.
the one who can overpower his opponent in wrestling is the strongest imo.
The hulk is the strongest. He can press over 100 tons when mad and jump over a mile. He is brutally strong and agile! He also does crossfit from what i was told.

I wouldn’t say I was the absolute strongest. But I am a contender.

So John Cena is the strongest?
Can we all agree to simply stop posting in this thread and pretend it never happened? Please?
I think strength has to do with balance. The strongest man may not necessarily have the heavyest bench press, but he doesnt clearly have a weakness. The man with no clear weakness is the strongest IMO.
Balance as in balance beam? So a gymnast is the strongest.
No…I meant strength balance in the real world. Hanley said above crossfitters sarcastically, but I actually believe that philosophy of non-specialization leads to the strongest individual, because no matter life throws at them physically they can withstand it if their training is good enough.
Usually gymnasts sacrifice size, and strength to be small enough to control their bodies at such a grueling pace. They are very strong maybe some of the strongest, but they have a blaring weakness. And that is brute power with heavy weight.

It’s fun tho!!
As an aside, I’m just out of an economics lecture. We were talking about agricultural import barriers within the EU. I made reference to how the EU will not curretly allow the importation of Brazillian beef, and the lecture posed a question… “Say I’m the Irish farmer, and you’re 100% brazillian beef, what happens?”
So there you have it, the hulk is 100% brazillian beef!!
wait, is the irish farmer a girl who likes 100% Brazilian beef? I could tell you what happens then, just let me find that movie.
Did i spell movie right, it doesnt look right to me, maybe im just losing my marbles.
while in stupidity :
If your Girl Friend bench more than you, you are NOT strong at all.
It’s an indicator AHAH
