Caloric intake of powerlifters vs. bodybuilders diet

[JK]

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?

they dont, no one is eating 10k cals a day for a prolonged period of timed, you would end up with digestive overload

a human digestive systen cant maintain that level of digestion

Think about that volume of excrement & their mass...canīt wipe their own ass without this

Most powerlifters can't even count that high.

It's possible they're overestimating their daily calorie intake, but I know some of powerlifters intentionally smoke weed just to be able to eat more, not to mention the constant use of insulin.

They're not simply overestimating or forgetting to carry the 4. They're lying and embellishing to fool people.
