if these 8 bodybuilders had a strongman contest who wins???

[ivanovichjones]

not the strongest guys just some big names


arnold
kai greene
dorian yates
phil heath
sergio olivia
dexter jackson
Markus Rühl.
tom platz.


if they have a typical strongman event
log lift
truck pull
some kind of dead lifting
maybe an old school battery holding event and a few others etc etc etc

[WolfRose7]

I take it we are picking them up at their youth-peak?

I'd like to say Platz, I think his attitude and technical approach might take him furthest in a strength sport.

but freak genetics can't be underestimated...

Sergio was an olympic weightlifter before he came to bodybuilding, so there's that. He'd win any standing overhead.
Yates and Ruhl are the biggest guys and were definitely strong at all the bodybuilding stuff, hard to tell how they'd do at strongman stuff.
It's a toss-up between those three.

Ruhl would have been interesting to see in strongman

I'd rank them:

Markus Rühl.
dorian yates
sergio olivia
tom platz.
arnold
kai greene
dexter jackson
phil heath

Add Ronnie Coleman to that list and he would be at the top.
