that's because weight does mean something. heavier people are just naturally stronger overall than lighter people - that's a fact.

That's not true. On Monday I did shoulders. I worked out with a guy who is taller and heavier then me. I was throwing up 225lbs on military press with no problem. He was struggling with 205. There is a guy at my gym that's about 5'10 at about 170lbs and he throws up 315 on the bench press, for 6 reps without a spot. Meanwhile I see guys a lot heavier then him that can bearly do 315 for 2 clean reps. One thing I did notice is that being short has its advantages in bodybuilding.
Want proof.
Check out Mariusz Pudzanowski. At his first Strongest Man Competition win he was roughly 280lbs at 6'1. He competed against guys a lot taller and heavier and kept on kicking their ass. Size and weight don't mean shit!!! It's genetics and for the most part a good "chemistry lab".
