European Countries with the Strongest People

Here, you will find the countries which perhaps have the strongest people of Europe. This list is not influenced by contests but purely by physical strength and genetic builds.

The Top Ten

Croatia

Croatia, officially the Republic of Croatia, gained independence in 1991 and is located at the crossroads of Central Europe, Southeast Europe, and the Mediterranean. Its capital city is Zagreb, and it is a member of the European Union and NATO. Croatia was formerly part of Yugoslavia during the Cold... read more

Very tall and strong people. I would not mess around with a croatian
Poland

Poland, officially the Republic of Poland, is a country in Central Europe, bordered by Germany to the west. The Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south. Ukraine and Belarus to the east. And the Baltic Sea, Kaliningrad Oblast (a Russian exclave), and Lithuania to the north. With a population of approximately... read more

Polish people are strong. Very strong. No-one knows exactly how but the Polish people have carried their gene of physical strength for thousands of years. Hard-workers? Yes, but that's not all. The poles are from Eastern Europe... A lot of what you'll be seeing on this list.

There are 3 options: you either lift/box, play sports (football, volley), or hack computers...
Albania

Albania is a southeastern European country that is slightly larger than Maryland and borders Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Greece. The capital is a city called Tirana. Some other major cities in Albania are Durrës, Elbasan, Vlorë, and Shkodër. Albania gained its independence in 1912.... read more

Albanians and Kosovans are the exact same thing. Same blood, same mind and same strength. as well as mental strength, the Albanians have tonnes of physical strength. It's like Albania is it's own little continent with Kosovo, they're hated by most Balkan countries (partly because of their arrogance) and their strength (as seen in street fights against Macedonians or Africans) is excessive...
Norway

Norway, officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a sovereign and unitary monarchy in Northern Europe whose territory comprises the western portion of the Scandinavian Peninsula, plus the island of Jan Mayen and the archipelago of Svalbard.... read more

Norwegians can endure the coldness of their country. That would make them strong.
Bulgaria

Located on the Balkan Peninsula, it shares borders with Greece, Turkey, Romania, Serbia, North Macedonia, and the Black Sea. The capital of Bulgaria... read more

Bulgarian men seem to have a very similar hobby - Bodybuilding, or Gym. The women (of course) are extremely strong due to the generations of carrying heavyweight raw materials like wood, and working in kitchens. But the Bulgarian men are extremely strong. The older they are the worse they can fight, but generally speaking they're brutal fighters.

Is there even someone who became popular as a polish strongman or something? No? Because there are no strong polish people, bulgarians are the strongest in the world. Dimitar Savatinov is one of the strongest man in the world, lifted 140 kg on one hand, drug-free without any steroids like the most men are using. Stoyan Todorchev - was the strongest man during the 2012 year. Look at some boxing matches or something, bulgarians take down easily their opponents, especially americans and europeans. For example the legends ''craig tullier and devon larrat'' lost against Plamen Dimitrov and Krasimir Kostadinov even though they are just regular bulgarian men, not pretending to be a strongman or anything. I think bulgaria should take the 1st place and after bulgaria, ukraine at 2nd, they are extremelly strong people, not some albanian and polish miserable genders taking steroids non-stop then pretending to have a strong genes...Not true. Also the bulgarians are number 1 weightlifters, strong and resistant. 1st- Bulgaria, 2nd - Ukraine and 3rd - Russia
Romania

Is it an Eastern European thing? Clearly... The Romanians are really hard workers. They work as hard as the Albanian and Slavic builders who have invaded most Western countries like the UK. They're men are generally pretty strong, and some can fight quite well, but this doesn't account for the whole nation.
Belarus

Belarus, officially the Republic of Belarus, formerly known by its Russian name Byelorussia or Belorussia, is a landlocked country in Eastern Europe. It is bordered by Russia to the northeast, Ukraine to the south, Poland to the west, and Lithuania and Latvia to the northwest. Its capital and most populous... read more

German people have an average build. Hundreds of years of political unrest has lead to the inner strength they have (not all of them, but a few). But as we've established, strength in Europe is dominated and mostly prominent by the Eastern Europeans.

Greece has some of the healthiest lifestyles and diets on the planet. To add to that there is also mandatory military conscription (meaning that every able bodied male must serve in the military). If you visit Greece you will find that the majority of people (mostly men) are in better physical shape and stronger than your average westerner. Greece should be ranked much higher than a lot of countries on this list.
