I'm just wondering, what exactly are the main clear differences in the workouts between bodybuilders (ie Schwarznegger types) and Strongmen (ie Pudzianowski types).
Does it come down to the sets/reps numbers etc?
I'm more after the look of a bodybuilder, but at the same time I'de want to be liter like a bodybuilder. I may be wrong but from what I've seen in stats etc the strongmen tend to be quite a bit heavier - even the lean ones. And with the recent death of yet another strongman, Jesse Marunde I was reading posts in other places and people were going on about just the size of the guy... ie he was pretty tall, but at the same time pretty lean but 300lbs... all this size and stress, regardless whether its muscle or fat places the body under stress and with the combination of the workouts lifting weights this guy just gave out and collapsed, as have a few other strongmen in the past. I haven't really heard much on bodybuilders collapsing and dying, and they kinda seem to be living long, Arnie's still around, and i think most of the other guys from his era are and they're probably well into their 60s I would be guessing.
Example...
Mariusz Pudzianowski ...
Height 186 cm (6'1")
Weight 132 kg (291 lb)
and Arnold Schwarzenegger
Height 6'2" (tiny bit taller)
and
# Off Season Weight: Around 235 lbs.
# Competition Weight: Around 260 lbs.
Just want to know what I should focus on in order to achieve more of the physique of Arnie etc rather than the strongmen.
Thanks!
