now i understand this might come off as a simple question, but the more i thought about it, it really didn’t make sense. yes theyre eating +6k calories a day, so then why wouldnt it turn into something more useful like dense muscle with all the training their doing?

It is near impossible to gain muscle without also gaining some fat onto your body, you need to be in a calorie surplus to gain muscle and even with steroids which chemically convince your body to produce MORE muscle you’re still going to gain fat too
Your body thinks fat is amazingly useful, and its right. Its far more useful than muscles, fat has probably saved many more human lives over millennia than muscles, plenty of people died of starvation probably not a ton because they couldn’t lift something heavy
if you want to look lean you then have to cut food, lose the fat, you’ll lose some muscle too but you’ll lose more fat and get down to that perfectly cut lean look, but you’ll likely be less strong than you were before the cut
