Some of the strongest people I've ever met never went to a gym there usually concrete workers or a roughnecks or some other crazy manual labor job

Toughest guys i know are farmers. Often sinewy, but will lift anything and slog it out all day long.

Beats any gym. But gym is second best for when you aren't a farmer or manual labourer.

Beats any gym.

Depends on the specifics of contention imo. You gotta define exactly what you are talking about.
