Weightlifters have never been the strongest athletes. In the squat, bench, and deadlift (i.e., force-driven movements), strong man athletes outperform most. How would those incredibly forceful athletes stack up against our best? Where would they place in the continent or the world?

After 10 years of weightlifting, you have a unique relationship with the sport. You can take the path of self-development or you can keep comparing yourself to others.
