I Could've been The WORLDS STRONGEST Man

[@2ZZGE100]

Mariusz Pudzianowski was a monster in his prime. Strongest man is not just about raw strength, but about endurance, speed, cardio and determination. Pudzianowski had speed, cardio, endurance, raw strength and had iron will where he competed and won with an injured knee. I remember looking at a double bicep pose of his in just trunks and even at 320 lbs, he was shredded to the bones with tissue paper thin skin around his waist. People don't realize how difficult it is to be so lean and compete in strength competitions. There is a reason why strongmen like Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, Zydrunas and Hafthor carry so much fat around their waist as it helps with counterweights and supporting the weight using soft surfaces while Pudz used to be dry and shredded to the bones competing with the Hercules look no one else could match

[@Radoslaw731]

That's why he was Polish like me!!

Marius wasn't the strongest statically. But in moving events he was in a class off his own. He was able to move ridiculously fast with heavy weight

[@akshaymishra3674]

He was strong and agile, just like how a warrior should train.

[@Freshprankstv1]

Wrong. At the time he was. He beat everyone in presses and also deadlift, and moving of course. Guys these days have leveled up

[@jacobwalters5341]

It’s a better selling point

[@stevegeorge6880]

Strongest Mr Olympia almost definitely, but there have been a couple guys with legit better numbers in actual powerlifting competition, so it does get hard to say. What is definite is that Ronnie was respectable enough in his strength and work ethic that real strongmen and powerlifters will tip their hat

[@Nirsterkur]

​@@stevegeorge6880 I would still argue that Ronnie is the Strongest bodybuilder ever. His résumé of lifts done during the Olympia prep, some lifts being carb depleted at 5 weeks out with ~3% shredded to the bone bodyfat levels has never been matched. It's not only about the 3 powerlifting lifts... It's all the movements across all body parts.

[@cisrael468]

@@NirsterkurI think it’s a bit of a stretch to say Ronnie was stronger than the likes of a prime Stan efferding

Mariusz had a crazy winning mentality, very stubborn and hard-working. If someone was on his heels, his level and records would be even greater. In the last part of his career, when he was winning almost everything, he started focusing on other things and it was a wise decision

[@mikefreeman6799]

1998, Poland, I bought my 1st Flex Magazine. It was right after Mr O. I was pushing weights for about two years, started when I was 16, On the front cover was Ronnie winning his 1st Mr O. I was looking at this front cover, not believing that a man can be so dam muscular. Ron looked bigger then the most exaggerated muscular cartoon characters. Even now looking at Samson winning Mr O few days ago, no one has matched RC in his glory days

[@MrMikelaclaire]

The big takeaway here is that Big Ron is a prime example of an individual with the physical, mental, and emotional aptitude to be a world champion at whatever he set his mind to

Great guy. He believes in himself, but also has respect for the GOAT. I don't think he would've win anything in WSM with the assumption that he goes there without preparation, as said at the beginning of this video, but also he could've been a force to be reckoned with if he trained to be a strongman.

The greatest Powerlifter maybe but Strongman is so much more than raw strength. Pudzianowski was dominating the competition during Ronnies time and even though he was statically not the strongest he definitely was the smartest, quickest and most explosive of them all. And then there was also Savickas. So Ronnie might still do well but he wouldn’t have dominated strongman the way he did bodybuilding

The lifts from Ron are much more fresh. The lifts from Mariusz were all one after another in a few days lol it's totally different and more difficult. But still a fun/ interesting question. Ronnie was very driven and could have been successful to some degree if his heart was in it. Cheers

[@Stockfish1511]

Ronnie was repping insane amount of weights while shredded to the bone days before show. From my experience even a 1 kilo fat loss for me loses some level of strength. So at peak show week and as lean as he was, he was probably getting progressively weaker when closer to the show which means when Ronnie was in of season he was probably stronger. He was also mainly aiming towards bodybuilding routine. He was also insanely strong in core powerlifting exercises like dead, bench, overhead, squat. I have no doubt in my mind that if Ronnie did gain a bit of fat and focused primarly for strength, he would be able to compete for world strongest man. He was just genetic freak.

[@monusaifimonusaifi]

[@JustRolly]

Off season prime Ronnie wouldve made a great strongman competitor

[@scottswift8153]

If Ronnie started strongman same time he did body building and put the same effort and training in for that amount of time. He probably wins. Genetic anomaly.

[@L.B.O.E]

I agree and im happy Ronnie said it, No way Ronnie losses in a bodybuilding competition, and no way Marius losses a strongman. A good question for ronnie, do you think Marius had genetics to be a pro bodybuilder? If yes, would he just be a card holder or could me place in a olympia? Also ronnie, if you focused on strongman and not bodybuilding how successful do you think you could have been?

[@sleedog11]

I'd love to see a mitchel hopper ronnie Coleman workout. That would be legendary. Mitch can do some insane body building moves too he beat to play squat record and that is saying something.
