ronnie coleman. Johnnie jackson claims it but ive never seen any amazing lifts from him like i have coleman

**metalmania81** · 03-27-2009, 12:22 AM

you should have made it a poll thread, but its ronnie if youre talking about overall strength between dead, bench and squat.

**RAEKWON201** · 03-27-2009, 12:45 AM

coleman is the strongest overall. jackson is pretty dam stong for his size. kovacs was dumb strong but not the best bodybuilder. also ruhl is very strong especially on upperbody.and columbu was very strong back in the day for his size or anyones size for that matter.eddie robinson was known to be a powerhouse back in the day as well.

**jameskang2009** · 03-27-2009, 02:36 AM

Coleman and Levrone. There's a video of Levrone benching 500 for 3 reps 8 days out of Olympia.

**murali_biglee** · 03-27-2009, 02:43 AM

coleman and jhonnie...

jj also lifted heavy - he has competed and won several PL shows too

**bubba g** · 03-27-2009, 02:51 AM

Ronnie was the strongest, Jhonny Jackson, Kovacs, and Levrone was very strong too.

Check out thse behind the head shoulder preses.. I think it's 4 plates.

No. He said, "I'm strong, that's why I'm big" After he did his 100 lb DB curls.

But seriously..how can this question be asked, argued, or debated any more than it already has been?

**Loctus** · 03-27-2009, 06:39 AM

Coleman. /Thread

200lbs flat DB presses, then right after that he does them incline for 6 reps or so

T-Bar rows with ~12 plates
Front squats with ~7 plates
800lbs Raw deadlift x2
800lbs squat x2
Bent over rows with 5 plates

edit:
2350lbs legpress

**Darren in Gym** · 03-27-2009, 06:51 AM

Kovacs is the strongest, but he is like a ape man so i can i see why he is so strong lol. Ronnie then for sure, his lifts were insane. Ruhl did a 600lb shoulder press (on smith) for like 4 reps.

**AMERICAZHUSTLA** · 03-27-2009, 07:39 AM

they are all pretty strong who knows whos the strongest

**antish** · 03-27-2009, 07:52 AM

imo levrone is stronger than ronnie on certain exercises and vice-versa.

ronnie have bether bodybuilding form

example - bench press

ronnie go all way down and half way up which is proper bodybuilding bench press that hit chest

levrone lock out (rest at top and use more of triceps)

not bodybuilding best, you are not supposed to lock out on top if you benchprress for training chest (which is what bodybuilders do)

all the way down half way up is correct when you train chest

Many bodybuilders do, many don't.

I'd rather just do a set of lock outs after with heavier weight for the top of my form.

if you want to train your chest - its not perfect

if you just train for "how much i can bench" than its good

locking up is lot easier because you use your triceps and your chest is resting

if you want to stimulate chest best than dont lock up

**lancs_hotpot** · 03-27-2009, 09:49 AM

People are saying Coleman but i think he WAS the strongest, he lifts no where near what he used to do now. I dont know who id say is stronger now, JJ in terms of powerlifting moves, Brabch is strong, i actually think Cutler is strong but he never seems to go to the max, i dont know really.

**hercules71185** · 03-27-2009, 10:06 AM

Mariusz should be considered a bodybuilder he has a sick physique lol. (no homo)
Strongest now I think is Jay, Ronnie is softening up. I think Jay is afraid to go heavy because of joint pains. That's all I can think of.
