Ronnie vs. Mark Henry?

I got new s for your bud, Mark Henry is not drug free and if you think he is you have a lot to learn about this business.

You're just another clown who can't accept the fact that some people are naturally strong. Good luck with those 225 lb bench presses.

Are you claiming Mark takes more drugs or just as many drugs as RONNIE COLEMAN. Henry does not juice. He is fat as hell. What the hell would he have to gain juicing. Not to mention the Olympic drug testing.


HAHAHAHAH

juicing can help even fat musclemen recover faster and put on muscle quicker . . .

like Sharry, right?

[Necrosis]

i know personally that mark does take steriods, just not around comp time. i've witnessed an interaction per se

Fair enough. So lets say he does juice. I think it is safe to say his intake of steriods, growth, insulin and hoards of other shit is less than Ronnies.

who looks worse, Ronnie off season or Mark year round?

if you had mark's cranium, and lived in the middle ages, they would use your head as a battering ram . . . and it would improve your appearance.

No, I am referring to "sexual chocolate", the chicks seem to really dig him.

[Scimowser]

drugs or not, its most likely nothing even near what a BBer takes. And dont forget, Mariusz was banned from comps for 2 years for using steroids and getting caught

They use for strength, not looks. At last in Mariuscz we have a strongman who looks like a strongman ought to - but in reality most powerlifters/strongmen are big fat bastards. Just the way it goes. [and it reinforces how awesome Pudz is]

Exactly.

[chris_mason]

First, don't lump powerlifters with strongmen.  Powerlifting has WEIGHT CLASSES.  Those in the lighter weight classes tend to be VERY lean.  In fact, until you get to the 308 + lbs weight classes a good proportion of the them are relativley lean.

The men in the 308 + lbs classes tend to carry more body fat because:

a) They can.
b) Their body type tends to be that way.

Increased body weight translates to increased lifts so if your weight class allows for it any intelligent competitor will do what they can to add body weight.

Next, strongmen at the highest level don't have weight classes therefore you will have more men carrying more body fat for the reasons above.

You really should learn more about a sport before you make ignorant statements.

a better question would be who would score higher on a IQ test.....

That's like wondering who between Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles would do better on a vision test.

[fearANDloathing]

On WWE I just heard them say that Mark Henry squatted 1000 pounds. You think he is stronger than Ronnie?

I hear a lot of shite lift claims. Usually they are just that- SHITE

[the shadow]

Its not even close.Mark Henry squatted 951 with no suit and pulled 903 in competition and then turned around and made the Olympic team in weightlifting.No contest.

dude how much leverage does a suit give u when u lift that shit load of weight..i don't give a horseshit if ronster did a 800lbs squat with a suit or not..thats still impressive....wats the difference when u lift that weight with or without suit....thats the same thing either way..ronnie is still the man..

Errrr, no, there can be a HUGE difference with the powerlifting gear.  A good suit, wraps, and possibly briefs (we don't know if he was wearing them or not) can add anywhere from 100 lbs to well over 200 lbs to your best raw squat.

Now, Ronnie is still a BEAST because squatting with 800 lbs for 2 relatively easy reps with a close stance is rather awesome!

[BM OUT]

I never said Ronnie wasnt very impressive,even compared to powerlifters.However,he is no where near as strong as Henry.Henry squats 953[i believe]with no suit IN A MEET!!!He pulls 903 IN A MEET.Now,Ronnie is very strong but pulling with straps is no where near like pulling without straps.Henry then did the olympic lifts and did well at that.Ronnie is great and beyond strong,but you cant compare him to a guy like Mark Henry in terms of strength.

[Scimowser]

I gotta disagree with much of this thread.  I don't think Henry is anywhere near as strong as Ronnie if Ronnie trained solely for max strength.       

If Mark Henry trained solely for a max, instead of jetting all over the world and wrestling, then there wouldnt be a record that didnt have his name on it. Ronnie is a monster but no comparison

Plus, I heard that when you have too much sex you become weaker. Mark is called "Sexual Chocolate" for a reason. Can you imagined how strong he would be if he were to abstain?

[Scimowser]

now thats a classic comeback!
