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?

Muscles need energy, the harder the muscle needs to work, the more energy it needs. Fat is able to provide muscles with that energy.
Strong men often look fat, but it’s because they have a lot of muscle with a healthy amount of fat over it. Body builders focus solely on lean muscle, making it less efficient but more prominent.
Note, body builders are still strong, just less strong than a strong man with the same amount of muscle.
