The Hulk seemed much stronger. He once threw a grizzly bear like 100 feet through the air.

The Hulk's strength grew in proportion to whatever force opposed him.

He was gamma.

Mentzer exceeded all of that while being a drug free teenager.

Are you talking IFBB pro bodybuilder? Or any pro bodybuilder?

There is this guy, Christopher Oketch, PNBA pro bodybuilder and Kenya's/Qatar's Strongest Man.

Placing 4th in a World's Strongest Man contest, especially considering he didn't know how to train for some of the events, is quite impressive.

He's no Christopher Oketch, but..... ;D

At the time, strongman wasn’t even a recognized, established sport. This was its “novelty” spectacle days, in which everyone from footballers to … participated.

And concerning the numbers listed …

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahaha!

Most strongmen were the guys ripping up phone books or bending bars in their mouth. Bill Pearl, former Mr. Universe, made more money doing strongman stunts than he ever did as a bodybuilder. Chuck Sipes was another guy who did such feats like bending spikes and tearing license plates in half.

That was back when people expected bodybuilders to be as strong as (or stronger than) they looked. Didn't the old AAU shows have a weightlifting portion and a bodybuilding show for their contests?

Sipes was a beast. The guy worked hard labor all day and then came for a 2 hour workout.
