i have been giving him some shit
but i have to say he sticks to his guns
and he is preaching the truth
Agreed.
The only real point in which I differ with mighty gH is the idea that the biggest pros aren't also typically the strongest. Yates, Coleman, Cormier (hey, he did hit like 255 in awesome shape, didn't he?), Francois, Ruhl, Bertil Fox, Levrone, JJ, Branch, Tom Prince -- those are some strong motherfuckers, and few men match them in either strength or sheer muscle size/thickness. Shit, even Dex could bench 405 for 5-6 and "Chihuahua" Ray moved a pair of 150s or better on the incline like it was a regular thing.
On the contrary:
I can't speak to Fux, but Nasser's relative lack of strength is well-documented by Rob Fortney. Plenty of people have said Dillet wasn't strong on any exercise.
So, two or three guys versus at least six or more ... I dunno. I realize strength gains as a means of hypertrophy MUST be finite, but apart from simply upping the dose, I gotta say I reckon the best way to get bigger over time is to improve that 6, 8 and/or 10RM.
