well olympic weightlifters are the most POWERFUL men on earth. Just take a look at the power formula P=w/t. Those guys do a lot of work in less time than powerlifters of strongmen. So maybe they are not the strongest but you can say they are the most powerful

Crossfitters aren't power lifters, weight lifters, or strongman. Crossfitters are just….

Crossfit is what made Olympic Weightlifting popular in america…its how I got into the sport. I love OW but my heart still has a soft spot for CF, I still do some metcons when I want to cut some weight.

Even Arnold Schwarzneggar in an MP sponsored program wonders why these days people are not interested in learning snatches and clean & jerks, even though they are helpful for lower back strength? But the problem is that people confuse these amazing movements with crossfit which also is good at some point but carries some bad reputation always. So the folks should be awared about the difference. Good job Omar, keep it up. đź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ť

id venture to say that strongman is in fact the oldest strength sport,maybe not the organized modern form that we know today,but the basic idea of it goes back to the iron age,over a thousand years before weightlifting

Oly lifters are still gym cancer. Bunch of skinny dorks who just like the sound of weights falling on the floor and don't know how to strength train. It amazes me how I see the same people week after week doing sets of one snatches with weight that I could easily strict press because I actually strength train

Fyi , Froning is an amazing athelete for Crossfit but according to my research in his category of kilos if he competed in weightlifting he would place around 10.000 place worldwide , to make it more clear even tho he's remarkable, the max kilos he can lift are the warmup kilos for an olympic weightlifter.

In CrossFit we try to be good at everything, but not great in any single thing. It is not about being strong, but being fit.

i appreciate your point. I do crossfit and I will tell you that its a mixed bag. However, it allows you to incorporate many elements of fitness into a work out. People rag on crossfit saying that its cheating. It is a path to fitness. You are a master of nothing but a student of everything and when done correctly it is a very comprehensive program. If you have good programming, strong coaches who know their stuff then you will get better with time.

No need to explain anything to lazy people. Gymnastics, weightlifting, powerlifting and bodybuilding can all be used to achieve a better physique and strength.

Clean & Press January 27, 2020 - 12:08 am

Actually, weightlifting was very popular in the west until the removal of the Clean & Press back in 1972…The Press with strict form was the ultimate display of strength. Weightlifting has never been the same since then ( loss of prestige).
