a thought. strength is maximal weight lifted, so the lift that allows for that should be the best test of strength. this is generally one of the power lifts (usually deadlift).
although that could be twisted to the quarter squat being best test.
however when i think of some one being strong i imagine odd object lifting and just overall strength which i think strong man provides. i think i might go into strong man once my powerlifts are decent and i've put on some more mass.
I would say deadlift. The lift alone isn't what makes me say that, it's just that if you deadlift at all you are probably pretty tough mentally, and will train hard in your other lifts.
I've seen a lot of guys strong in bench or whatever and be weak in deadlift. I have not seen or heard of anyone with a strong deadlift who is not strong in other lifts, too.

I don't know if I agree with that completely. I reckon it takes more balls to get under the bar and drop into a heavy squat. Miss a deadlift, and you let go of the bar, crisis averted. Miss a squat, and you could end up tipping forward, falling backwards, or completely buried in the hole.
To use your reasoning in the inverse, I don't think I've seen someone with a massive squat who isn't strong in deadlifts.
Heavy snatches require even more balls again, you're squatting plus potentiall dislocating your shoulders and elbows at the same time.
This is why strong men is the best test of strength in my opinion...
Define strength?
I suppose it isnt all about beign a 1 hit wonder in a bench suit to me perosnally..
But i believe if you are strong you will excel in other events that require any form of strength..

Strongman events require; strength, power (an element of strength) and conditioning, to get the job done.
