I Never Said They Were.
What was said was That they Don't have Strenth
Which is Bull.

And They There are Several Body Builders
In the Martial arts Who are Verry Strong

Such as Shamrock,Colmen,Randalmen & Kerr
U said they Were not,Yet They Say they are.
Thats a No Brainer to me.

Powerlifting and Olympic lifting is the best for MA and most sports.

Powerlifting - You gain strength without gaining a lot of mass, which is the opposite of bodybuilding where they gain mass and a little strength.

Olympic Lifting - Speed strength, otherwise known as explosiveness.

For training articles, go to drsquat.com and bodybuilding.com (has a lot of articles on Olympic lifting, powerlifting, and bodybuilding).

Ken Shamrock technically doesn't do bodybuilding at all.

He powerbuils, meaning his goal is a hybrid of strength and mass.

And none of the above train like a bodybuilder nor eat like a bodybuilder. They are athletes, bodybuilders are a different type of athlete where they aren't judged on performance (not unless you take posing as performance). Posing takes grace, but bodybuilders are the weakest and most exhuasted on competition day.

The average bench press of a IFBB professional bodybuilder is 450 pounds. The average benchpress of a professional deadlifter is 600.

That's what I said.

Relatively, bodybuilders are not strong at all, I do agree with that. Shamrock doesn't even compare with bodybuilders in his lifts nonetheless powerlifters. He's much stronger than the normal man, benching over 400, and squatting 600, but I don't see strength one of his strengths. In reality, strength isn't the biggest factor in a fight, nor a sport fight. Tank Abbot is a beast, but...
