That's because they try to lift too heavy too fast. And they don't use correct form even if they're using sufficient volume. They do half assed reps or cheat too much. Then the accessory muscles get more worked more than the target muscles. You know how much was my starting incline bench? The bar alone. My starting dumbell press, 20pounds. When you do proper form, you may feel like a pu$$y with such baby weights but the target muscle gets hit and your strength gains come MUCH faster compared to half assed rep strength progression. Hypertrophy first always, that's our target, BUT the strength will come. Which is why people like Ronnie Coleman and Dexter Jackson can hold their own among powerlifters. Which is why i can hold my own among the powerlifters at my gym. And the public gym i work out at have a lot of hardcore people.
Heavy weights yes, but done with proper form.

very true...
been looking around in my gym and i notice the same thing.
i guess many of us like to go heavy due to ego also.
wanna push as much as we can as fast as possible.
when i started 2 month ago, i was the same.
but i not going to bother bout the weights anymore instead learn how to feel.
will test my max reps once a month, but most of the time will go high reps.
thanks for the advise. =.=
