Pity bump.
European powerlifters/strongmen are just insanely strong and in-shape.
Overall, it seems like European lifters are better than American lifters.
Too many cheeseburgers in the US. :'( :'(

More Yacubian trickery. They catered to the white man's strengths, while down playing the black man's strengths. I'd like to see how whitey would do in such events as "Boosted flat screen carry for time" or "50 yard farebeaters dash with turnstile jump".
J/k ;D.

That would be hilarious. A huge widescreen and a track. Add in sirens and gunshots for realism. He would need to stuff the remotes in his pockets and not lose them.

AJ, if you went against the german powerlifter, do you think you can take him in a series of powerlifting/strongman/bodybuilding events?

Easier access to high quality legit anabolics that's why.

You really think that is the deciding factor? I mean, its not like the US powerlifter/strongmen aren't pumped full of drugs, the same as the Europeans.
It seems like its splitting hairs at that point.

Maybe slightly with the influx of Eastern European lifters, but the US lifters still gives good account of themselves in Powerlifting and Strongman. In Olympic Weightlifting, not so much. We seem to have given up on it since the mid 80's.
The one thing that you do seem to find in Euro lifting, more than American lifting is respect for weight classes. Bit more of a "Aw, @#$%, I'll just go into the next weight class" attitude here in the States.

From 1972 to 2012, not one person from the USA has won a gold medal in the super heavy weight division. And in most other divisions (Bantamweight, Featherweight, Lightweight, Middleweight, Light heavyweight, Middle heavyweight, Heavyweight) a gold medal has not been won by the USA since the 1950s.

Exactly. That's Olympic Weightlifting. In Powerlifting and Strongman, we are still absolutely fine.

Good point. However a lot of non-Americans are coming on strong.

Well, I references that because you mentioned Olympic weightlifting.
Even among Worlds Strongest Man competitions, from 1983 to 2015, there has only been two American winner, Brian Shaw and Phil Pfister. And Pfister only one once. Shaw has won 3 times. Once Shaw retires, it will be PIP for american strongman future winners. :'( :'(

No, not in my lifetime. I could maybe get the 220 x 20 in bench, but probably not. My best was like 12. I probably would get 1-3 with the pull-ups. I might be able to do the dips, I do train dips with weight approaching that. And the squats, NFW. Can't back squat for shit without ending up in traction.
So no. And the Hebrew would eat me too.

Im surprised the "street athlete" couldn't get more on the bench press. Just goes to show you: looking like you can lift a lot, doesn't mean you can. And looking like you can't lift alot, doesn't mean you can't.

Ah, but we still have a number of 2nd and 3rd placers in that mix, so we aren't getting blown out. Also Kazmaier was politely excluded from 83 - 87 from competition because of his winning ways, or we probably would've had many more titles. He came back in '88 with a second place win, 4th in '89.

Yes, Kazmaier did win, but that is when WSM was just coming onto the scene. I mean, it doesnt make his wins any less important, but the more WSM became popular, the more people from around the world started to compete in them.

;D I think I'm being trolled.
2015 - we had 3 Americans placing in the top 10, with Shaw winning.
2014 - we had 4 Americans in the top ten, with 2 being 3rd and 4th place.
2013 - we had 4 again top 10 with Shaw winning.
2012 - we had 2, in the 4th and 5th spot.
2011 - 3 in top ten, with Shaw winning.
etc....
We're still very competitive in Strongman.

My guess is that the street workout specialist deals mainly with body weight/calisthenics exercises. You are not really going to build strength with that. Cuts, some size and stamina is what you gain.

Street dude was probably natty too, unlike the powerlifter.
-
That must have killed his huge "black man ego" oh man...
But was kinda surprised for a guy who can do those park style pullups could not finish. He has an impressive shape. But knew he'd choke when came time to do legs. Like most black dudes in the gym actually. Not surprised.

Yep, once whitey got past the dips it was over.

he obviously doesnt train for the lifts. his positioning was all wrong.
How well do you guys think the powerlifter would do in a calisthenics themed workout.... He'd probably get injured.
BTW ND what movie is your avatar from.

Do you guys think the "street athlete" is all calisthenics + drugs + superior heboe DNA... or do you think he lifts weights as well?
-

Sometimes these dudes do go to a gym. Mainly do light work and cardio. If anything it's healthier, and you get cut (don't know what his diet is like). Plus that is the look that is being pushed now, so one can get modeling contracts.
It's really a case of apples and oranges.

Great decisive victory for the cawk-Asian champion.

He's probably lifted. Most of the bigger calisthenics guys do have past lifting backgrounds, they just don't play it up. Many I knew had a decent amount of lifting experience from high school/college, then just transitioned to mostly calisthenics, plus a few regular lifting work outs here and there.

exactly. When you are in the lifting-Calisthenics world, you've started out somewhere. And usually it was high school or college, and then transitioned to either one or the other or dabble in both.
We all know how to do reg push ups, wide grip push ups, diamond push ups, dips. And the same people who do that tend to know how to do bench press, squat, etc. The thing is that many don't know how to master the technique of one or the other if one is more of a specialist.

Great , great movie Sword of Doom

Calisthenics guy would have struggled to squat that weight once, probably why he quit on dips. It is interesting though that he performed so poorly on the pullups and dips, the additional weight crushed. I'm sure he is capable of banging out sets of twenty with bodyweight only. The powerlifter had very good muscular endurance, he would probably smoke a crossfitter. I wonder how Scott Mendelson or Dave Hoff would have fared...

More Yacubian trickery. They catered to the white man's strengths, while down playing the black man's strengths. I'd like to see how whitey would do in such events as "Boosted flat screen carry for time" or "50 yard farebeaters dash with turnstile jump".
J/k ;D.
Or eating heaps of KFC + watermelon and at the same time ingesting Grape Drank mixed with "Chitlin's" whilst being in a porchy state! ;)

Here is an actual high level street workout specialist:
the guy in OPs video is just an overconfident beginner

How does that humble pie taste?

so the guy who does resistance training wins a resistance training workout. Spectacular.

Proof muscular control with your body weight does not equal strength or stamina.

Wrong, thw guy is just not very strong, as bodyweight specialists go he is a beginner. See my post above for a more advanced athlete
-
I bet if the GErman guy won at the "street workout" everyone would be saying "steroids, steroids!" just like here.
He's just trained at a much higher level, even gear would not make the other guy squat that weight for reps...

Hi, Chaos, SF1900 here. Hey, man, no one is talking bad about the powerlifter. We all agree with you here. Just because the street athlete is well-built and can do lots of pushups, it doesn't mean he can outsquat or outbench a powerlifter. We all agree with you. You are not alone.
Your friend,

Why did they attack the baby?
We're they overpopulated?

Intensely-trained strength athletes performing at a high level are VERY athletic and capable of immense workloads.
Too bad so many know-nothings on this board, and elsewhere, only think an aesthetic physique equals fitness and sustained physical ability.
(This black prick got owned in a brutal way.)
-
that was brutal what that german guy did. thats like an old school arthur jones torture session
-
Wrong, your above guy would get the same treatment.
the guy I posted probably has higher relative strength for pushing movements and better absolute strength for pulling despite being much lighter. On legs Im sure the powerlifter slaughters him. Did you even watch the video I posted or are you going off of a guess that the guy is doing high rep push ups with his wrists backwards? He's doing all high level low-rep strength moves.

I watched the video, you're wrong, deal with it. The guy could do push ups on his pinkies, doesn't matter, bodyweight exercises do not translate into weightlifting strength.
-
I would be surprised if the guy posted in the second video could do one rep of bench with 225 so he would probably fail at this challenge immediately.

I will second that and say that the 130 pound Russian "street athlete" fails to do a single rep in any of the lifts.

Guy who lifts weights beats guy who doesn't lift weights at lifting weights

I keep seeing this post, yet the second exercise they did was weighted pullups, should have favored the street guy since they show him doing clapping pullups in the preview, third "lift" was weighted dips on rings, again should favor the street guy right since you're more likely to find those rings on a playground. Really the only weightlifting move was the bench press.
