Why are Slavs and Balts physically stronger other Europeans?
Why are Slavs and Balts physically stronger other Europeans?
Stocky, Mongol genetics.
>Slavs
Because Russia doesn't have anti dopping agency.
They aren't. Worlds stronkest ever Jeff capes - Ben Weider - Brit and Canadian
Latvia has produced some world class level lifters.
Probably because they live a more active lifestyle than burger eating westerners?
How many olympic gold medals have they won and how records have they set in strength/power sports like weightlifting or shotputt?
That's a meme.
Why would Mongol genetics make someone stronger?
lots of vodka
Please tell me you're joking.
>mongols are magically stronger
Is what why Mongols aren't worth shit in olympic strength sports? Secondly, the Baltics have the least amount of non-European ancestry and large parts of Russia, specifically Western Russia, was not attacked by Mongols.
inb4 Russian shill.
Because they're poor and stupid and know they're not going to live that long so they don't mind taking a fuckke tonne of steroids to get inhumanly strong, you know like niggers do. Ronnie Coleman is now permafucked as is Big Ramy.

It's just genetics. Slavs naturally take to weightlifting the same way niggers are naturally good at sprinting and niggerhoopball. Peripheral "almost white" populations in middle east and central asia also tend to be really good at weightlifting. The turks, iranians, etc.
I'm Polish and this is just anecdotal evidence, but I've always had a naturally "built" build. Even before I started working out at all, people assumed I did. And when I started lifting, my stats went up really quickly to the point where /fit/ kept accusing me of either lying about my stats or using drugs.
Potatoes and vodka my friend
Bodybuilding isn't a strength sport and Olympic athletes get tested, and many of them get popped.
olympic athletes get tested, but it's so easy to get around drug tests. You just switch from long ester to short ester steroids and stop using them a little before the competition's drug test. Just enough time to let the short ester steroids clear out of your system. Literally every single olympic athlete uses roids and whatever else.
aren't bulgarians exporting non doped men everywhere and win gold medals for 30+ years? bulgarians are least slav from all the slav
Creatures evolved in colder environments developed shorter arms and legs compared to creatures evolved in hot environments.
This is primarily due to surface area of the body and heat regulation.
Shorter arms and legs means less effort required when lifting heavy due to less distance traveled.
Yes, but they still get tested and therefore can't be on year round. Secondly, they also use much lower doses than bodybuilders. The testing is also improving every year and becoming more accurate as mass spectrometry techniques improve and become more efficient.
That's a good argument. But I'd need to see data.
I don't quite buy that. Nords are also from a very cold area, and they're tall. And I don't actually think the average height for slavs is that different from the rest of Europe. Of course, that still doesn't tell you about proportions.
...
I believe it's this. And also cabbage.
>want to see data on slav height
>height map that shows a big "NO DATA" sign over the majority of slav nations
Also, keep in mind that Russia is only 80% Russian, with the rest being various turkic/mongolic peoples. I assume this would throw off the data for that country.

>GLOM
Becuase they use steroids. They just got banned for it.
South slavs are the tallest in the world (Bosnia, Montenegro and Croatia), they easily reach 2m.
>tallest in the world
>2m

MANLET ALERT

I'm taller than you, Jamal.
6'4" of slavic power. Watchu got, punk?
Visited Montenegro. Felt like I was in the land of Giants.
>Data suggests that Herzegovinians have the genetic potential to be more than two inches taller than the Dutch. In the Netherlands, about 35% of men have the genetic profile Y haplogroup I-M170, but in Herzegovina, the frequency is over 70%.
I'm 186cm, fugg
You wrong Finland strong!
star wars legos a shit
you got problem with my legos? they make me smart!
Everyone uses steroids
South Slavs are weak and brittle though,the ones winning competitions are Northern Slavs,which despite being midgets are built like tanks.
Why are you talking about russians you fucks?
OP meant Poland and Lithuania. Those 2 countries got Mariusz Pudzianowski and Žydrūnas Savickas.
Funny thing is that there are no germans on list of world's strongest man competetion. Mostly just balts, anglos, icelanders and lithuanians.
>The Golden one after 6 months of no roids
wait hes not natty?
but bulgarians tho
Of course Latsbrah isn't natty. You don't get that size without drugs.
Arrestbrah and Cardiac Arrestbrah were natty tho. So was Fr0nk and the puzzlemaster.
Powerlifting is about lifitng weights with power not strength. A strongman could lift that weight slowly and with multiple repetitions.
>iceland and lithuania are the 2 countries with highest suicide rate in europe
>iceland and lithuania are the two countries with strongest men worldwide
coincidence????
weight nationalism
They are actually pretty good considering Mongolia only has 3 million people.
Hey now, Gooby is definitely 200% natty physics
Russia has dominated Olympic lifting since the 60s. I'd rather talk about olympic lifting because the talent pool is much higher and crosses the entire world, whereas strongman and powerlifting have a small one. Olympic lifting gets more genetic freaks. Plus the olympic lifts are a far more impressive feat of strength than anything done in powerlifting or strongman,
>Who is Eddie Hall?
>a strongman can lift 250kg above his head for repetitions
Kill yourself. The OP pic is olympic weightlifting, not powerlifting. Olympic lifting is far harder and more impressive than strongman. It's not only about strength, it also requires power and speed.
There are guys like Ilya Ilyin that can get 250kg above their heads while weighing only 105kg. Strongmen weigh 180kg.+
Yeah but theyre probably like 5'7 lol
Deadlifting isn't as impressive or as difficult doing a clean and jerk or snatch. If the talent from olympic lifting went into less genetically dependent sports like powerlifting or strongman, you'd see all the strongman and powerlifting records broken.
yeah, there's a lot more technique in olympic lifting, explosiveness and flexibility are also an issue. But if we are just talking about strength...
While true, strongman competition is a mix of strenght, speed and endurance.
Strength is more than just brute strength. Explosiveness and speed are also components of strength. You need explosiveness to deadlift, though it's not as much as doing an olympic llift.
If a guy like video related
youtube.com
went into powerlifting or strongman, he'd anihilate.
264kg clean and jerk at 140kg bw.
>While true, strongman competition is a mix of strenght, speed and endurance.
Yes it does, but it's not on the level of Olympic lifting. Strongmen can also be on drugs year round, WSM doesn't do any serious drug testing.
Look at this oly lifter squatting 370kg x3 @ 150kg bw with no belt. Squat isn't even his main lift, it's just an accessory.
instagram.com
Same guy was squatedd 400kg before with no belt.
Poland has some of the best Olympic lifters by the way.
fpbp
he looks like a literal Untermensch poster, the face, the expression, it's like a walking meme
Let's see what your facial expression is like with 250kg above your head.
Yea, i don't want to take anything from olimpic lifters, they are beasts. I just think what they do is really specialized, while strongmen use all their muscles. Btw in a vid i posted Pudzian is squatting with 400kg, and its just his training routine, he was 150kg at that time though. And he juiced like a motherfucker (officially he didn't but.....)
Olympic lifters are using all of their muscles mate, they're just using primarily fast twitch fibres, so it may look like they're not 'feeling' the weight.
Squatting is usually an event at WSM, so strongmen train seriously for it, so I'm not surprised Maruisz squatted a ton.
>264kg clean and jerk at 140kg bw.
yeah. 264kgs is really nice but,
>powerlifting or strongman, he'd anihilate.
ya know who actually did anihilate in strongman? Eddie Hall.
Why would Lovchev go into a sport that requires lower talent when he has talent for the olympics?
Olympic lifting is comprised of higher level talent, that's not even disputable. That's why I made this thread about olympic lifting and other Olympic strength sports, that way you can compare the best of the best.
He's also squatting wide stance low bar and his depth isn't completely visible, but it looks like it's paralell or maybe a bit above. Oly lifters squat with a close high bar stance, and they generally go much lower than paralell. Squatting like an Olympic lifters lowers the amount of weight you can squat by 10 - 20%, but it's better for the Olympic lifts.
Everyone uses steroids. Getting Russia banned was a plan of (((theirs)))
They do.
Yea, i don't want to argue, i really don't know enough about lifting to enter this discussion. It's just Pudzian was my hero when i was a teenager and he was winning everything :)
Hopefully he got you into weight training
Amateur, just to keep me in shape after i hit my 30s. Im 182cm, 87kg and benchpress 120kg 3 times. Nothing to boast about, but i feel and look just fine.
Drugs, the world's strongest man atm is an Anglo (pic related). The point that you should have made is that white men are the strongest in the world.
see
It's true. The peoples of the Dinaric Alps are the tallest in the world on average, then the Dutch, then some group of Nilotic niggers.
That would give you a max bench of around 130, so about 1.5x bw. Nothing to scoff at and better than what most gym rats would ever do.
Thanks lad! Being in shape is very important IMO, it really does help especially mentally, and it would be great if everyone here went to gym at least 2-3 times a week.
This is bs because ex yu countries are literally the tallest in the world together with the Dutch
genetics. duh.
When you have no real skills or knowledge and it is frozen outside for 9 months out of the year you pick up and put down heavy shit for fun.
