being a strong bodybuilder always come around to bite them in the ass if you're pro - you're paying your mortgage on appearances and contract/instagram money you become some strength clown and have to produce ungodly feats of strength to make money instead of concentrating on the movement , specificity and building quality tissue - you have to be a whore to numbers then you get injured - it seems like very "strong" dude Is just waiting to get hurt and then talk about that best bodybuilders have longevity , no injuries , no cool ultimate squat vids (haven't seen jay cutlers 800lb squat vid but Ronnie is in a wheelchair )
Johnny O, and Efferding were very strong.Luke SAndoe had retard strength. Hollingshead also has it...MAny very strong guys out there today...
I believe Dallas Mcgarver was the strongest high level bb.He was doing 900 deadlifts and 500 bench inclines for reps.He was also using more gear than anyone so makes sense...Dont think anyone close right now but could be wrong
Dallas is def one strong MoFo
Is he still Dead . ??
Tbh I feel like Franco Columbu was pound for pound the strongest
It’s a valid point but I think the sensational lifts are some of the best marketing a bodybuilder can do. Ronnie’s lifts get talked about more than his contest showings, and I think they’ll get talked about for as long as pro lifting is a “thing”. Gotta tread that line between risk:reward very very carefully, though.
Strong IFBB pros...BenWhite VS Johnnie Jackson deadlift competition I remember watching....LOL sad excuse for a event that was.
Ronnie's lifts get talked about more than his contest showings? No
Put it this way: way more people have watched his lifting than his posing on stage. Lifting heavy weights has widespread appeal, doing battle in a thong does not.
There are/were many, but who was the "weakest"? I mean, one that chose to train light on purpose to avoid injuries or other reasons.
Holy shit, the guy is 2 weeks out of a Pro show in Spain and is doin' 4 plates high incline presses on the Smith machine for 30+ reps + a drop set with 3 plates, are you shittin' me? @09:30
Are you a tard? Seriously?Not a single rep was done.No even a half rep. On a Smith machine to boot. What a fucking embarrassment to lift like this.
Post a pic champ
Damnit. Don't make a thread about the strongest bodybuilder if you aren't going to talk about his strict curl. What kind of bullshit is this? Sure levrone and Ronnie were strong but ever notice how they shied away from the strict curl? It aint for pussies.
They should combine both, lift crazy weights while wearing a thong and posing oil, sure to get much more viewers
