[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9236269, member: 23751"] Then he can lift 1500 pounds? Because that's strength. Google the strongest man in the world. You won't see a gymnast pop up. Look at the world's strongest man contests. No gymnasts there, either. Endurance is not strength. Being in shape is not strength.....at least not to the degree of the body builder. The gymnast needs to be in shape, and be stronger than the average person, but the gymnast is nowhere near as strong as any of the professional body builders. Doesn't matter. The gymnast uses those extra muscles for balance and agility, and for endurance. Not for strength, at least not to the degree of a body builder. The ones the body builder uses are for strength. Your opinion runs contrary to world opinion and accepted definitions of strength. Now, I agree with you that what a gymnast does is amazing, and they are very strong relative to the average person, but they are not stronger than body builders. [/QUOTE]
