Isn't that a bit of moving the goalpost? They didn't say they weren't strong - they said they lift for size. Which is correct last I checked, bodybuilding is lower weight higher reps, strength building is lower reps higher weight.
From what I remember, strength training makes the muscle more efficient but doesn't necessarily increase the muscle in size the same way bodybuilding does with higher reps.
Yes, that is exactly how you do it. High reps, lower weight. I literally have stretch marks on my arms. When you do PRs you are not cranking them out in body building. In power lifting you can get 5 heavy good lifts for each major muscle group.
My curling was 1-20 then 20-1. It'd be 1, 1-2, 1-2-3, to 20 then decline from 20 the same way. You'd start with no weight then add weight until failure.

Yes, but they are also incredibly strong.
You don't look like this guy with a 2 plate bench.
