Then we are in agreement. I am glad to have had a reasonable discussion with you over the interweb.

i am glad as well, its rare to find someone else that will do the same

well damn there are some bruce lee fans thumbing down hardcore anything that isn't worshiping him

That's because he wasn't a power lifter.

Pic unrelated.

yeah, not saying powerlifting is a waste

they'd def have an edge in any fight even without any skill but they'd probably fair about the same as a bodybuilder

Quite true. My final point, and i hope I'm not being redundant, is I doubt the 300 or whatever pound linebackers are as strong relative to their body weight as many other sports players are.

i agree relative to there weight other sports players beat them, but if you need a car pulled via human the line backer is your choice. For sports the athletes train to have the body best suited for it, soccer players work on having crazy high endurance and leg strength, baseball players alot of upper body strength, and things like football it depends on the position.

Exactly, he is a five time worlds strongest man but still has the definition of some body builders. he is strong but not too strong and cut but not so cut he looks starved or weak like some body builders. in my opinion this is what men should look like, he could fight a bear lol, don't know why he would want too but he could lol. oh and now he does MMA. hate to fight him fuck that!!!

They can, but football is mainly meant to get you big. I'm not saying you can't get strong from football, but it isn't a sure thing.

generally if you get bigger then you will get stronger, now you will not get anywhere near as strong as strongmen unless you train for it as they do and are genetically gifted in muscle building. for football also the position matters, a quarter back isn't going to be trying to get super strong but a linebackers will. I agree there is no guarantee that football will make you strong and by no means does being on the high school football team make you a bad ass mofo( despite them acting like they are). But if someone plays pro or college football in a decent devision then its a safe assumption that they are pretty damn strong at that level.
