Sure, you can find plent of dudes in the every day world throwing up 400-500 bench presses. However, how many of those guys do it on a 6-10% body fat level, run sub5 -mid 4 second 40 yard dashes, hit 32-40 inch verticals? Only a few i would imagine. If the blacks truly worked on their strength training primarily, i wonder what kind of numbers they would put up? Alot of americans want to play football and if they had the chance they would play college and of course pro; with that in mine, why is the nfl 2/3 black?
In regards to the test levels. I have read that they on the average have higher levels. Have I drawn blood from 300 black and 300 white men and did the comparison? No. However, i know i have read it before.

ANd a study once showed that mexicans had a higher test rate than whites and blacks, so why do they not dominate the NFL?
Power lifting championships between countries have EastEuropeans beating USA team all the time. Poor countries like Ukraine with a pop just slightly bigger than Cali dominate the USA teams. And i mean dominate them.
With drug testing and with Americans have better equipment we still lose. Our teams have whites, blacks and everyone and yet we always lose. Why?
you argue that one group can have a genetic advantage in something and yet cannot mentally process that it is not the same group all the time?
And all NFL competition will always have more blacks in it sense it is a sport of speed and power. WIth speed being more important(more likely to see a sprinter play than a powerlifter). In fact at the competition the number of blacks is more than whites, so using it as a standard is not rational.(in fact the only position that have a large percentages of whites in football is offensive lineman. The position that speed is less important)
Use the world powerlifting and olympic lifting as a scale for strength not the nfl.
Their is slight genetic differences in groups of people(not race cause it is not a scientific measure. Eas vs. northern vs west african/european/asian, etc) If one group was superior then we would all look the same.
If that was not so then counties in Africa and West Indies would have as many lifters win medals has they have athletes win speed track events. Vice-versa for Easteuropeans.
