Svend is stronger than Ronnie .

Ronnie can`t 370kg deadlift for 3 reps .

[stjartsmor]

don´t compare a bodybuilder with an strongman , ronnie coleman wouldn´t have chance against svend.

@AmusingYeti Im not saying he wasn't.Im just replying to the comments that Svend is stronger than RonnieC and im just explaining that its apples and oranges.I bet Svend could not lift the same weight when he was competing as a IFBB pro bodybuilder to when he was competing in WSM.Ronnie made those amazing lifts at around getting ready for Mr Olympia,low bodyfat,cycling carbs...thats pretty bloody amazing.

[AmusingYeti]

@ronaldov09 Svend was also a world class bodybuilder and powerlifter. He earned his IFBB pro card and broke a lot of powerlifting records. The comparison is neurile however and both should be placed in the context of their sport.

No Ronnie cant do 370KG for 3 reps....neither could Svend at 3% BF and the conditioning of a Mr Olympia!The only way to compare is to get Svend down to around 3% BF....and I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't lift what Ronnie lifts.My car drag car can do 0-100 in 10 secs but only has a top speed of 220km while my day car can do 270...which one is faster? Apples and Oranges.Svend trains as a powerlifter,Ronnie is a Body Builder.

why do people keep comparing ronnie to strength athletes, he is very strong agreed, but at the end of the day he is a bodybuilder, at will always be 20-50 kilos weeker than a strongman or weightlifter

[Jpb90k]

@iasdhiohqodhqwo58293 He manages 363kg for 2 reps in a popular video on youtube. Not too bad.

[TheTrueFortress]

Svend competed as a bodybuilder, powerlifter and strongman. A true man of iron.

[brianwilson1986]

i agree i think svend is stronger but body building isnt about streanth, and im sure strong men are steroid free? so he is naturalt stronger, ronnie is a machine though, what about markus ruhl hes the biggest body builder????

[hungarianbeast]

@iasdhiohqodhqwo58293 yeah and Ronnie was a body builder and Svend was a strongman, check the difference ;)

[morteneide1]

@iasdhiohqodhqwo58293 YES HE CAN

[rockerroller00]
