I can't understand how strongmen and powerlifters carry so much muscle mass. They don't isolate and they rarely do more than 5 reps. This definitely breaks the 6-12 rep range myth (?) for mass.

Heavy compound lifts create mass. Once I switched to powerlifting and stopped working so much isolation I blew up. I would say though that while we are capable of putting on plenty of mass, its generally not as aesthetically pleasing as a bodybuilder might look. Dan Green is a major exception though. He has tremendous genetics.
