Cope. First of all weightlifting has weight classes. If size didn't matter, the strongest man in weightlifting wouldn't look like this. Second, weightlifting is hugely technical. It involves a lot of balance and ability to move effieciently above just raw force output. If you compare any weightlifter with a bigger bodybuilder, the bodybuilder will almost always have greater strength throughout his various muscles, even if he can't clean and jerk as much. This is a fact. If you want "strength, health and readiness", you should bodybuild and get strong on heavy barbell lifts first. Pavel was a DYEL.
