I always find it interesting that the strongest guys in the world are white.
I always thought it would be black dudes - since they seem to dominate in other sports where strength is important.
Just a casual observation. Not wanting a race thread here!
I don't know a lot about this subject but from what I heard, people of African descent have more fast-twitch muscles which give an advantage in bursts of speed and explosiveness, so blacks are more likely to win things like sprinting. And Caucasians have more slow-twitch muscles which are slower but have more strength.
