Environment and activity has a great deal to do with bone density. People who live in the mountains, for example, tend to gave greater bone density than those who live in the flat-lands.
RE: Human Strength - Polar - 07-17-2016
Exactly. People who live near/in nature (such as mountainous and grassland areas) tend to have stronger and denser bones than those (even strong people) who live in any society of sorts.
I am not sure about the differences in bone density between mountain-dwellers and grassland-dwellers, though.

People continuously walking or running up and down hills are working harder than those walking or running on flat land. Lifting weights, I would think, would build not only stronger muscles but very likely denser bones as well; if I am understanding correctly.

I will try to find a scientific article (NCBI?) to explain how bones respond to weight lifting.
RE: Human Strength - Polar - 07-24-2016
NCBI publishment on PubMed about how human strength athletes' bones respond to power events, such as weight training or power-jumping:
Muscle training for bone strength.
It is always proven that weight-lifting or strenuous work leads to stronger bones. But what does "stronger" usually entail?
Denser bones?
Thicker bones?
Increased cross-sectional bone filament density?

An American study on the differences within the humerus between both a male and female Neanderthal, and a modern human. Interesting at how ancient humans (or at least Neanderthals) had significantly greater strength bias towards their right arm than in humans:
Radiographic study of the humerus in Neandertals and Homo sapiens sapiens.
Though, the only question that arises is: do Neanderthals have much thicker and denser bones than humans at a equal given weight? This would be an interesting insight to pound-for-pound strength of earlier humans.

Here is a video showing famous MMA fighter Conor McGregor sparring (more like play-fighting) with "The Mountain" from Game of Thrones.
Imagine if both really tried each other...I wouldn't give a McGregor a good chance:
RE: Human Strength - brotherbear - 09-11-2016
Imagine if both really tried each other... Yeah, reality makes a difference. Years ago, my neighbor had a Doberman named Prince. His dog always enjoyed play-fighting with my boxer, Hero. During their wrestling bouts, Prince always had Hero down and looking like the victor. It never bothered me; they were playing. But then one morning, my neighbor tossed a meaty-bone out to them. Big mistake! Hero tore into Prince and took the bone.
The same rule would likely apply to people.

Here is a compilation of various arm-wrestling matches involving Devon Larratt. So far, I am becoming a big fan of this guy in today's arm-wrestling tournaments. I don't think any of the other arm-wrestlers can beat him left-handed, but right-handed, some can accomplish:

Glad you're getting into arm wrestling, quite a bit of technique goes into it.
New IPF world Record Squat (1102lbs)
RE: Human Strength - Polar - 11-01-2016
His raw squat doesn't even touch that of Henry's, but a good strength feat nonetheless.

His squat is way more than Henrys
RE: Human Strength - Polar - 11-01-2016
No, actually, his raw (not equipped) squat is much less than Henry's. His raw squat is 915 pounds while that of Henry's was 953.5 pounds: heck, Henry even claimed to have done 1,006 pounds raw in training, but that is just a claim.
I don't think any strongman/powerlifter/athlete can compete with Henry in leg strength, with the exception of Paul Anderson and possibly some wildmen or some freakish man with abnormal leg strength.
RE: Human Strength - Pckts - 11-01-2016
The only difference is body suit and he's almost 200lbs heavier than Henry's raw, his raw could easily be more as well, but he wasn't required to do so. Henry never reached that weight for his squat raw or not.
I don't even think Henry is in the top 5 for raw squats anymore but I'd have to look it up.
Ray Williams is the world record holder in the raw squat.
I'm definitely not downplaying Henry's strength though, the guy was an absolute monster.

Doubt this guy could reach Henry's raw squat, even at this world-record moment of his. It was confirmed by the USAPL that Henry did a squat of 953.5 pounds raw. Ray Williams did indeed do a 1,005-pound raw squat at a lesser body weight than Henry, but I still give Henry the upper hand since he was drug-free in all his lifts:
Notice how I didn't say that Henry had the "world-record" squat simply because there could be potential and unknown men who can beat that raw squat record of his, but with well-known powerlifters, I don't know one who beat him with an exception of Paul Anderson or Ray Williams.
