How is it possible for elite bench pressers like Scot Mendelson, Ryan Kennelly, and Glen Chabot, weighing around 320 lbs, to eat 10,000 calories a day and remain relatively lean, looking like off-season bodybuilders while training at a low volume?

Meanwhile, bodybuilding heavyweights of the same size consume around 5,000-6,000 calories in the off-season and train at significantly higher volumes?

All of them take massive doses of GH, so what accounts for such a large calorie difference to maintain their weight?
