5 current WWE wrestlers with the best strength-to-size ratio

To normal people, tyres belong in the parking lot – on vehicles – not in the gym!Gym culture is so prevalent in today’s world that it’s hard not to find at least a handful of real-life Hulks in the iron jungles we spend a few hours wading through everyday. And physical fitness is so diverse nowadays that using one parameter like a personal best isn’t enough to measure true strength or level of fitness.Earlier, someone was considered to be ‘fit’ or ‘strong’ if they could run an soul-sucking distance or bench press the equivalent of a small car. And from a layman’s perspective, size equals strength. They’re not completely wrong, but with the advent of things like CrossFit, MMA and yoga, fitness and strength have taken on a completely different paradigm.At first glance, wrestlers are primarily associated with strength. But not just the bodybuilders’ definition of strength because despite them working out with the same kind of equipment and weights, wrestlers need functional strength, because they’re lifting bodies in the ring, not barbells.This is where their variety and intensity of training comes into play. Now keep in mind that there are at least a couple of inches’ difference between a wrestler’s ‘billed height’ and their ‘actual height’ and about 20 pounds’ in case of weight (the exaggeration’s greater if they’re smaller).With that in mind, let’s take a look at the 5 wrestlers who are the best bang for buck when it comes to strength:

#5 Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins is reportedly back to training following his knee injury

Billed height: 6’1”

Billed weight: 217 lbs

The erstwhile WWE World Heavyweight Champion who never lost his belt has one of the leaner frames on the roster, but that doesn’t preclude the fact he can’t execute power moves. When he was recently separated from The Shield, his speed and agility were his hallmarks, but after he topped the WWE podium, he’s been giving audiences much more to talk about, like this Turnbuckle Powerbomb, a perversion of the Shield finisher.

Rollins credits CrossFit-based workouts for augmenting his strength, power and conditioning and reducing injuries.
