This is literally experience vs training

Muy merecida victoria 🏆

The construction dude that hit the bench was no joke either! Big dudes!

Last dude looks like he lifts. Guy who smashed the bench press definitely doesn't though

@@MinotaurvsCyclops WHAT ?????? Nobody puts up 405 lbs without “lifting”. I don’t care how much gravel you push around or how much jack hammering you do all day. You have to hit the gym quite a bit to bench press 405lbs. That is a lottttt of weight! Especially for the average person. 400+ is BIG BOY territory. I defy you to ask someone his relative size that doesn’t train to lift that much weight…AND… he did it relatively easy and could have went even heavier probably. I get the guy who did the bar bend and deadlift was a beast but the bench guy is also. 💪

​@@adamhodgson8851yea bro ive worked in construction especially ironwork... and believe me the strongest ironworkers definetely hit the gym to gain strength but also we gain strength from all the lifting and pushing and moving that we do there as well its a win win for us regardless but i promise even the most unfit unhealthy construction workers are alot stronger than you think without hitting the gym because of all the strength and work theybhave to do everyday at work... and yes im talking about the latinos with beer bellies as well lmao

Do you think they were born with the ability to build a building? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

​@Geowzzyy I think thats his point? These guys spend more than 12 hours a day building and learning that. They don't have as many hours in the gym but they naturally lift all day

He's an animal

Right the bodybuilders switched one time while he did it all by himself and still kept up with them and then bended the gold bar while the other couldn't straight beast 😬😬

He’s a tank bent a bar that even the strongest man alive couldn’t even bend.

@@JMK248 the dude should start a yt channel

he is not a construction guy, he is a powerlifter you can look it up this video is fake af

Yeah the amount of cheating by the bodybuilders was insane. Same for bench en still lost.

Yeah foreal

Lol, he does resemble Randy savage

Bro they cheated multiple times

Best team won. Amazing strength by construction workers.

Nah. It’s just practical vs aesthetic. Proper work boots beat tennis shoes every day. Muscles built through labor beat gym built every day. Not saying body builders aren’t strong. But when you’re focused on aesthetics and numbers, you don’t necessarily build out the stabilizers quite as much, simply because you don’t have to. When I worked an office job, I threw my back out regularly and struggled with deadlifts in the gym. Now I work in event production and it’s like half deadlifting and then carrying…and I haven’t thrown my back out in years despite no gym time. 🤷‍♀️ Everyone is awesome here though. Well done.

Well they make money being bodybuilders too.

Earlier people had to work and got muscles Today people have to work to get muscles

they are also paid too little

If you think the guy who benched 4 plates got that strong from construction work youre delusional. He paid for a gym membership to get that strong just like the bodybuilders.

Seriously called him out in front of all his boys

Fr, that’s that man’s pre workout everyday

Crushing shit is more about skill, doesnt take that much strength once you know how to swing but sure was exhausting when new lol

Well it’s easy

They about it lol

😭

It’s mostly skill, use your abs and contract them before. And you’re using momentum which bodybuilders are not used to.

I agree. The wheel barrow and brick smash proves that. Functional strength I different from gym training imo

@@Tom-hr1cm You don't know what you're talking about. "Construction worker" is a very broad term, and most construction workers work hard. I build towers in the city. Very hard workers. Mail man LOL

Bonesaw's REEAAADY!

*powerlifter

That Jonathan guy should be in Gears of War or Warhammer

And lets call the movie "the mechanic"😂

He already built the set

To be fair though, the strongest construction worker is regular weightlifter. It would be dishonest to say he got in that shape through his dayjob alone, although you could perhaps attribute his forearm strength to that but not his deadlift and bench

And but to consider he went up against someone who dedicates his life to that and as big as he was while the construction worker lifts as a hobby, it’s wild. Imagine if the CW did it as a job and passion instead of splitting his time working then working out.

Gym and muscle for the construction workers

@@jl3114 This is true, many of us in construction lift or do some physical activity so as not to incur injury faster or unnecessarily.

as a construction worker, i can confidently say, they kept it "clean" for the vid

Thank you, I found myself lowering the videos volume whenever the host of the video talked. I just wish there was a specific setting to target his volume to lower cause most of it was just unnecessary

Hey the bodybuilders weren't exactly slouches in the strength department either.

Everybody there was strong af lol. And everybody looked strong too

That’s a stretch lmfao. No one here looks weak and no one here is weak

@@tyreiksmith5468 Hahahaha

Yea, body builders aren’t that strong and workouts are different. That construction guy lifts, so it defeats the purpose lol your average construction guy is not stronger. A lot of the jacked construction guys I know here and lift also taking gear.

He sure was! Reminded me of Macho Man Randy Savage LOL! 007

He could breed me any day

Yeah idk how they had him go up against two dudes.

He even did an extra lift while they were switching guys, and apparently he already bent that gold bar in a previous shot anyway, which they showed afterwards, so it was already over before they even started. Maybe they tried to get him tired enough to not be able to bend the gold bar anymore, and manipulate a draw out of that.

So do the bodybuilders. What's your point

@@JohnBe-uc9fs Apparently not.

bro I bet you don't even hit the gym

Construction workers have better endurance but idk about strength, only saw a short between a body builder and a construction worker who could bend a iron spring that comes in different sizes (idk what they’re called) the construction worker won

Wow... As a northern european I thought they both talked a lot of crap. Here in Sweden they would likely have been more or less quiet Unless drunk of course. 😂

@@hnorrstrom Ah ha. I am from France. And in my region, Alsace, it is part of our culture to tease in a gentle way and joke with people we don’t necessarily know. It is a funny and friendly part of our culture. I thought what the workers said was in adequacy with this mindset. The bodybuilder (the one who was talking the most), however, were more scoffing than teasing. Of course I understand it is part of the entertainment, in my opinion, he was more rude than funny. It is true than the other bodybuilder were more moderate in their words.

​@@Alsacienne_d_AlsaceThat's quite funny, because here in Sweden I work for the french aluminium build system company Norcan based in Hagenau. So I have met some people from that area. Guess the world is small. Swedes usually joke the same way but only to people they know well. We are in general reserved in the begining. Anyway it's great to know that I can actually joke friendly the next time the bosses from France come and visit us. 😎

Humble as well, bet they didn't even know they are that strong

@@VuuxxX That’s funny 😄

LOL

gotta make hay while the sun shines

Yes, it can. It's called THE GYM. Physical labour is just chores, that gives you suboptimal results for more effort requires. It's task you have to accomplish, not task to build your body. It's simple math.

Farm kids also learned how to be self-sufficient so excelled as mechanics and engineers.

@@emperortohellwithyou9850 you’ve never experience farm strong then. I was on my powerlifting team in high school, I had friends who never spent a day in the gym, they grew up working and working hard with physical labor, and they had a strength that you could not get in the gym. I’m not talking about supplements, I’m talking specifically about lifting weights and exercise.people who go to the gym, go there because they enjoy it, it’s a lifestyle. But those young guys who grew up on those farms, that’s life. I’m not saying guys who go to the gym can’t be strong, but what I am saying is, there’s guys out there who can be just as strong and never step foot in the gym

@mrangles3402 Powerlifters would be very hard to beat in those challenges but it would definitely be interesting to watch.

Juice v hard workers ;-)

Body builders are also actually strong even if the are not specialized to strength. Also you just reveal your ignorance and that you have never been at a site that you think these are your average construction workers.

I mean they're all strong

Construction workers "work"? They just stand around all day drtinking soda and blocking traffic, machines do all the work fo rthem

⁠@@Tom-hr1cmYour argument is so ignorant. You are saying construction workers don’t “work” because of machinery they operate instead of by hand. I have read your last other comment said that mail man work “harder”. I can say the same about mail man that they don’t “work” because they drive a mail truck instead of walking on foot because they can drive from point A to point B less than 40 minutes compared to walking. Your argument is just stupid. And besides, construction workers don’t block traffic all day, do you want to have better road conditions while driving or not? So that is why they block temporary. And plus, you are living inside a house built by construction workers, why not you just go live outside then if that is what makes you happy.

@@Nikoncha Exactly, the guy is not your average construction worker. He is a strongman who works in construction, he could be flipping pizzas and still be this strong.

Great point.

But surely these guys don't skip days so

Also, there is no such thing as "I can't! no more! I'm out of strength". Instead, it's always: "The job is got to be done! Show must go on." 😂

alot of them have unhealthy lifestyles though this might just be a uk thing but every time iv worked on site nearly all of them were coke addicts/and or alcoholics and diet is greasy fried foods still strong as fuck but thats about it every other part of them was unhealthy

Back in the days you'd have oxen for this. Now you let some buff blokes do it for the same pay.

Dude I was once trying to load a dead car made in the 60s onto a car trailer because my boss had sold it and it was fighting me bad.the wheels were locked up tyres dry rotted and everything she was stuck as could be and weighted almost 2 ton I was just stuck. So the guy gets there and he's enormous and in talking bigger than a double door smart fridge he was huge and his mate that was with him was equally enormous. I told him my problem I was having and no word of a lie he looks at me and goes why did you just pick it up and I'm like I don't have a fork lift? Next thing him and his friend walk over to it and simply pick the front up drag it to the trailer and rest the front on it,then they walk to the rear and lift the thing off the ground and just push it on.i was in disbelief I'm decently strong and have worked with cars my entire life,I have never seen anyone do that and I haven't seen it happen since if I never witnessed it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it.
