    South euros (not including balkans) don't participate in weight lifting / muscle mass related sports often. It isn't as emphasized in the culture. Iberians aren't weak by any measure it's more so that they participate in sports that involve being skinny, leaner, than being bulked up. I'm bulked rn myself and stronger than many nordic type phenotypes I see everyday and I'm at a medium, average height too lol.

    Strength is not the Balkan Dinarics' forte as much as height and athletic skill. I think of them more as basketball or tennis players rather than powerlifters or strong men.

    But we Iberians work very well in teams, we have more resistance, we endure hard efforts and great penalties consuming little, and on top of that we are more handsome, more likeable and charming.

    As my countrymen have been named, well I would say from my experience that on average they are a mix of strength, endurance and mental quickness so they could in a free context easily beat anyone even stronger and heavier.

    I am hallucinating, people think they can say whatever they want about the Spaniards and stay so wide, no dear, it is not going to be that way.

    The strongest man in the world in first half of 20th century was Marijan Matijević from Lika (Dinaric Alps) https://www.cometocroatia.holiday/di...jan-matijevic/

    He was friend of Nikola Tesla btw. They are from neighboring villages.

    quickness, agility and endurance play more an important role than strength, so it's not something special
