Grievous vs. Vader...Feats of Strength!

Grievous and Vader are in a contest of Strength.

Round 1) Grievous and Vader must lift a 300 pound weight and carry it one mile. Time is not a factor.

Round 2) Grievous and Vader must arm wrestle.

Round 3) Grievous and Vader must see who can beat down who with power blows with a lightsaber. Grievous is only using one and has his arms locked. No Force.

There's a full day's rest between each feat...

1) Grievous.

2) Grievous.

3) Vader, possibly.

Well in 1 and 2, Vader can augment his strength with the force. I'd say vader for 3.

Grevious is stronger than Vader, so he wins all.

Any proof?

Grevious alone in CW has shown how strong he is. Vader was outmuscled by his son, even though his experience in the force is leagues above Luke.

1) They could probably both do it.
2) Vader would crush his hand. In RODV it says that he could crush his lightsaber.
3) Vader, most likely.

I would say Grievous in all of the feats, because his limbs and body are entirely artificial.
Vader might have the strength in his hand to crush his lightsaber, but his bicep and shoulder are organic, so in an arm-wrestling contest (easiest example), Grievous would simply be stronger because all of his arm and shoulder is artificial.

The upper arm and shoulder he can strengthen with the Force, however. So, in addition to the tooled up lower arms being immensely strong, his upper arms are super-human in strength, as most Jedi can achieve.

I bet Obi Wan powered himself with the force when he attempted to kick Grevious and he was still in pain.

Must be said, he's kicking metal, not trying to beat it at armwrestling...

To be honest, I can't think of any examples in the movies of Jedi using feats of superhuman strength in lifting or forcing things.

It's mostly EU stuff, really.

Vader does pick up the guy in ANH, if that's relevant.

He does, but that could also be through use of the Force to levitate the body, and this was said to be a contest of pure strength, not strength through use of the Force, which Grievous is unable to wield.

I highly doubt that. Lucas probably (and most likely, I wouldn't know, I'm not in that crazy man's head) wanted to show that Vader was a badass and could lift a full grown man with one arm. It never says anywhere that he lifted him with the force, and I think it's safe to assume he didn't. Lucas probably would have made it more evident that he was using his powers if Vader actually was.

Umm...lol who cant pick up a person with one hand.. I could grip my bro's neck and lift him up. And Vious is right, allowing Vader to use the force is putting GG to a disadvantage. In pure strength GG wins for sure.
With the force vader could use superhuman strength and mend his wounds/fatigue.

vader's mechanics wheit him down more than anything.

1. Grievous - he was strong enough to smash but a big dent in the wall of a starfighter. Vader may be equally as strong but he couldn't carry the weight as easily for as long because he'd get tired.
2. Grievous, I'd say. Snapping someone's neck with one hand is impressive, but smashing a starfighter hull is more so.
3. One one hand? Vader wins since Grievous isn't used to fighting with one hand and might have never done it before - Vader consistently fights one handed.
