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

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


A very strange list though..
