How strong is a bodybuilder?

Answer 1

Well it depends of course on whether you are referring to natural bodybuilders or not. and of course height differences will create great variables.

The average, beginning bodybuilder of average height usually walks onstage in contest condition at between 140 and 170 lbs. More advanced natural bodybuilders with several good years under their belt can walk onstage at heavier weights, in the 175 to 195 lbs range. But the very best natural, average height bodybuilders can weigh over 200 lbs onstage, but this is very rare for any natural under 6 ft tall.

When you're talking about Non-tested bodybuilding events, then obviously there will be steroid users and the weights we speak of will be higher. Sometimes much higher.

220, 240 and even 260 lbs are all possible for an average height, steroid using bodybuilder. Jay Cutler, 2010 Mr. Olympia, who stands only 5ft 9in, weighed 268 lbs in contest condition....but there have been larger guys than even him. Markus Ruhl, Ronnie Coleman, Dennis Wolfe, Gunter Schleirkamp, Art Atwood, Greg Kovacs, and Lou Ferrigno have all weighed more at some point, anywhere from 270 to 320 lbs onstage!

Answer 2

They're usually very strong to be able to lift the kind of weight they need to lift to push out their body sizes, but powerlifters are likely stronger since once bodybuilders are within their beneficial range, which is already pretty damn heavy, they increase reps. Powerlifters just keep lifting heavier and heavier, beneficial or not.

Answer 3

A bodybuilder tries to eat at least Avery three or four hours every day. Remember to eat healthy if you wanna be a bodybuilder.
