[edit]How on earth is he being included in the same class as the brutal monsters we know are actually strongmen? Because he's tough on murderous gangs? Alexandermoir (talk) 12:00, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

[edit]This article is focused on modern-day strongmen but does not have content on historic strongmen - especially ancient historical examples. For instance Julius Caesar. BlueberryA96 (talk) 05:38, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
Absolute garbage article
[edit]So much blinkered 'western' bias. And very poor QA. References 1, 2, 11-15, 19 and 33 are to some guy's worthless opinion piece. 70.55.213.154 (talk) 20:18, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
