by definition you could argue Jon Pal or Svend Karlson are the strongest bodybuilders as they have both won the worlds strongest man Svend competed in the Arnold classic

yes mate he was untill recently competing for IFSA along with Eddy Elwood very strong powerlifter and very good bodybuilder but at a distict disadvantage in strongman though he did very well considering his size but at the end of the day its a big mans sport

i dont know what he would have been like in competition but Trevor Smith of Nuclear Nutrition was very strong he made most pro bodybuilders puke up trying to train with him , i got into a few arguements with him from time to time so we didnt discuss training and because i feel your not a bodybuilder or a powerlifter unless you compete then that was another touchy subject used to spark him off i was a champion and he still had yet to compete so that always caused friction ha ha
