You're up early today Danielson - it must be at least 7am in the US at the moment.

Anyway, back to topic - where is Hossein Rezazadeh, the Iranian weightlifter?

The only reasons I can see for them leaving out certain names is that they are distinguishing between various types of strength eg static and dynamic. Power being more static?

Alternatively, they left them out so that people like us will discuss it  :D

Pudzi is all about static and dynamic strength... Better athlete than all those on that list...

Everyone on that list beats him ALOT on Squat and Deadlift but he is the "world" strongest man,


A very strange list though..

Its all about the hardcore feel of the smith machine, weight belt, backward cap,
 
going to war with the weights, to get those those real good gains.

i saw 4 guys benching using the smith and i asked to work in with them

i ended up using them all as spotters

Post by: Palpatine Q on May 19, 2008, 09:05:45 AM
Ronnie's on the list because he's the Strongest BBer ever, so being that it is FLEX magazine, he's there. They also include Louis Cyr, who was nothing more than a circus strongman, for an "old school" pick. Again, this is FLEX magazine we're talking about.

That list a fucking joke.. Doesn't have Hossein Rezazadeh on the list.

How many of those listed on the list could clean and jerk 585 lbs or front squat 615 lbs?

Not a good list.
Title: Re: the 10 most powerful men to ever walk the earth
Post by: BM OUT on May 19, 2008, 10:41:19 AM
The idea that Eddy Coan doesnt make the list is silly.2400lb  total at 220lbs before the advent of advanced power gear and a 903 deadlift.The strongest powerlifter who has ever lived pound for pound.
Title: Re: the 10 most powerful men to ever walk the earth
Post by: Camel Jockey on May 19, 2008, 10:45:07 AM
Rezazadeh and Pudz should be on the list.

no alexyev?

That was my first thought. Suprised he's not been included.

Razazedah belongs in there for shizzle. Strong cases for Coan, Sigmarsson and Magnus ver Magnusson (who is still alive btw MoS).

Pudz? I can fully understand his absence. Tremendous athlete but i'd put others before him for this list.
