    maybe your lifting to heavy, i believe muscle hypertrophy results from 6-12 reps and strength 1-6

    Agree with this, me like many others will experience more growth with rep range 6/8-12/15 doing big muscle groups heavy and small more light......

    Maybe you should try to not worry so much about lifting so heavy all the time, atleast put in some easy weeks once in a while...

    And this^^not to mention, theis big dudes could most likely have a higher bf% and when its a big guy its spread out all over the place just imagine them on a calorie diff diet and 10%bf it would be silly. And sum people lift hungry and that's a no no it will turn your workout into crap quick!
