Re: Bodybuilder vs Weightlifter
[ QUOTE ]
guids,
I assume most compare them to equally athlete non-physique strength athletes. Like WLers/PLers/Strongmen... In which case the BBers are near universally the weakest for their weight. But... They look great in thongs (not really).

Ya, Im not sure what people are comparing them to. I consider Wlers/Plers/strongmen, different from NFL players, etc. So I guess we have to classify them a little better. For being that heavy, compared to a PROfessional powerlifter, they are "weak", but compared to someone in the NFL, I dont believe they are in the least, like I said its all relative. You take a 320lb (off season ronnie) 5 11 lineman from the nfl, in a brute strength contest, I say ronnie is up there in regards to NFL players, take a 320lb pro powerlifter like dave tate, and "its not close".
coleman deadlifts 800lbs by the way.
