A man who can bench 300 pounds can still be fast. 300 pounds isn't a huge amount of weight. The difference between powerlifting and bodybuilding is great. The strong man will snatch you over his head and slam you into the dirt before you know what's happening.

You put gloves on and that's another story.

A true measure of strentgh is how much you can deadlift. It takes all the muscle groups to accomplish this. Remember you are only as strong as your back will allow you to be...
