americans... very concerned with strength....
I got laughed at when i was benching 365 lbs on decline with good form for 6-8 reps... not because it was light, but because it was waaaayyy too heavy a weight for a lot of people. I know a lot of people in one of the hard core gyms in the area who are fucking huge! they struggle to bench 315 lbs for 3 reps (permabulkers)...

this guy didn't look very impressive... then, within one year (trained by another famous arabian bodybuilder you all know) he turned into this.
look at the weights he uses to while prepping... and listen to what he lifts in the offseason... his maximum weight is 315 lbs in incline presses. and that's for 3-5 reps (talked to the guy... very friendly... and in person, as thick as a fucking wall!!!)
strength does not necessarily equate to size. powerlifters/weightlifters are the biggest example of this... they lift WAYYYY heavier weights than bodybuilders, and most of them (again, most) look horrible! i've seen more weightlifters that push some very impressive weight and i said "fuck, they look like regular fat or skinny people on the the street" than i care to remember.
in this video, he doesn't seem very impressive (don't know what happened to him, and he kinda disappeared for a while after that) but i was in a contest where i competed in the 90kg, and he was 90+ kg... and when he was walking to the stage i overheard another competitor on my team who was supposed to compete at the 90+ kg tell the coach "i'm not going out there, are you trying to embarrass me putting me against this guy? i'm not going"... LOL... the dude is fucking retardedly big in real life... video doesn't do him just... probably because of the 1 hour of cardio the coach was having him do
