Strongest Pro Bodybuilder Ever?
Now that Johnnie Jackson has been declared "World's Strongest Bodybuilder", everyone thinks he or Stan Efferding are the 2 strongest in the IFBB. Now, just because Ben White lost the challenge it doesn't mean he should be written off-I think Johnnie would be pretty sore that Ben benches more than him and stated even on the reverse bench press he's stronger than Johnnie.
Firstly, I want to know,why is everybody saying Johnnie will lose?
Stan efferding:
821 lbs Squat
606 Bench
793 lbs Deadlift
That's 2221lb total
Johnnie Jackson:
Squat (personal best): 825lbs
523 Bench
815lb Deadlift
That's 2163 total
That's really not much of a difference-especially since Johnnie will be going for it this year-he has that drive and mentality
Otherwise,who do you think is the strongest bodybuilder around?
I think it is between these 2:

Ronnie "The King Coleman"
The following lifts were several years back and while he was carbing down and using less gear for it was nearer contest time and apparently tests are random
Benching with 200lb DUMBBELLS for reps
495-500lb Bench Press for reps
800lb Squat 1RM
800-805lb Deadlift 1RM
2250-2300lbs Leg Press for reps
Overhead presses with 315lb for 12-15 reps
Overhead Presses with 150-160 lbers for reps
T Bar Rows until the bar bends
Barbell Rows EASILY over 400lbs for REPS
Shrugs with over 700lbs for reps
I think that considering he was losing his carbs and was using less gear precontest, that he could do the above RAW in the off-season. Apparently he did a handful of sets before these max outs too.
[b]2011-2012- RONNIE SHOULD COMPETE TO BECOME THE WORLD'S STRONGEST BODYBUILDER WHO HAS ALSO WON THE MR.OLYMPIA!!![/b]
