Good article.

For my money, the strongest man is the strongest powerlifter...but that's just me. :)

I agree to a point but this is how I look at it. If you had to pick which guy to to scrap.... who would it be?

Myself it would be the powerlifter, imo the strong men have more mobility and functional strength than flat out power lifters. SD or Aladine care to chime in?

I may be talking out my ass.

who would you rather have punch you in the face? The powerlifter with a 600lb+ bench press that trains for speed in the press or the guy lifting 300-400lb logs, pullng trucks, farmers walk etc.......both punches would hurt for sure......remember that powerlifters do gpp.....i know my cardio right now is hitting a tire with a heavy sledge for 5 minutes a round....others pull a sled etc......

Lots of strongmen and Plers do both events. Chad Aichs does PL, strongman, and highland games, and I saw 2008's Canada's 2nd Strongest Man compete at a PL meet and smoke everyone in the DL.

Now the real question TT is would you rather fight Alladin or SD?

Don't leave weight lifters out of the mix. Pound for pound the strongest. A functional background in both powerlifting and weightlifting would be essential in being an overall strongman.

P.s. My Heritage is French! No wonder i'm such a FREAK! LOL jk, but it really is french.

I thought you were part A-rab?
