Who is stronger a body builder or a runner?

The strength of a bodybuilder versus a runner depends on how strength is defined. Bodybuilders typically focus on muscle mass and maximal strength, making them stronger in lifting heavy weights. In contrast, runners develop endurance and may have functional strength for their sport, but they generally do not lift as much weight. Therefore, in terms of raw lifting strength, a bodybuilder is usually stronger, while a runner Excels in endurance and stamina.
