Strength Wars – Bodybuilder VS Powerlifter VS CrossFitter

Strength Wars - Bodybuilder VS Powerlifter VS CrossFitter

Strength Wars – Bodybuilder VS Powerlifter VS CrossFitter

Bodybuilders, powerlifters, and CrossFitters are constantly compared. To find out who is the strongest of the three is the ultimate goal. All the three formats are different and there were no common grounds to assess who is the strongest, until now.

Enters Strength Wars

Strength Wars bring insane lifting battles between athletes of all kinds of disciplines such as deadlifts, squats, bench press, pull-ups, dips, keg lifts, prowlers. Putting different types of athletes against each other, Strength Wars is the ultimate proving ground to test any given athlete’s true strength.

Bodybuilder VS CrossFit VS Arm Wrestler VS Strongman

As someone rightly said, you’re as strong as your grip strength. This Bodybuilder VS CrossFit VS Arm Wrestler VS Strongman grip strength contest is a treat to watch. Although the powerlifter won the contest, the bodybuilder stole the show by beating his opponent who placed third in the European grip championship.

The arm wrestler and the CrossFitter were a disappointment as neither of them put in a fight, let alone winning. We are sure the results would have been different if the bodybuilder was allowed some rest before going for the final exercise.

Bodybuilder VS Weightlifter VS Powerlifter – Squat Session

We couldn’t leave out squats when talking about strength. This is a classic squat session with low reps and high weights. It was no surprise the powerlifter won this round as the intensity wasn’t suitable for the weightlifter or the bodybuilder.

We have to mention the weightlifter is pretty impressive in this competition as he squats almost three times the weight as compared to his bodyweight. The bodybuilder and the other powerlifters gave in too early.

Bodybuilder VS Four Powerlifters

Since we have seen the bodybuilder getting beaten in the previous videos, its time to see him kick some ass in this one. This strength war is a deadlift content between five people. Four of these five people are powerlifters and one is a bodybuilder.

The bodybuilder maintains a constant pace throughout this contest while all the powerlifters had different forms, techniques, and speeds. It would be safe to say the bodybuilder smoked his competition.

Powerlifter VS Bodybuilder

This Strength Wars competition features Faceless who is the undisputed and reigning champion of the Strength War series. Faceless goes against a bodybuilder and it was a close competition for the first two exercises.

The Strength Wars champ regained his lead in the last exercise while the bodybuilder couldn’t manage to hold on to the barbell. We would like to see someone go head to head with Faceless and come out as the winner.

Street Workout VS Gymnast

Street workouts and gymnastics are very different from bodybuilding, CrossFit or powerlifting. While both these disciplines might not involve a lot of resistance training, athletes of both these sports are incredibly strong.

Both the competitors went head to head in this contest but the gymnast came out on the top in the end. The street workout athlete lost control during front squats which cost him precious time.


Who do you think is the strongest amongst all the discipline listed in this article?
