he’s probably racking different weights than you too 
I don’t know about any bad advice from big guys but I do know that we shouldn’t accept everything as a good idea just because a big guy said it around here.
I mean being huge does not exonerate anyone.
I’m not sure what the name is for the logical fallacy of it…but I mean if a big, ripped guy says that if you don’t drink a gallon and a half of water a day you’ll not make gains…is that true? Is it even true for him? Did he ever try drinking less water for a long period of time and then see his muscles shrink and/or gains stop?

Yup, who is he trying to impress with that horrible upright row form ? They will be cleaning his back off the floor after he breaks it.

Perhaps an “appeal to authority?” Dunno…[/quote]
I think it’s called the “proof by authority fallacy”

There is this one big, ugly motherfucker in my gym though. Never seen him before but friggin hell, he has a huge neck, ugly face and stands at 6’6" or 6’5". I’m 6’3" and all these smaller guys were like “omg he is so big! /pout”.

It’s snatch pull variation with perfect technique, brah.
Big guy once told me I’d get bigger faster if I didn’t chew my food completely. He told me to take a few chews and force my food down almost whole.

There would be some validity to what the guy told ID.
Most nutrition gurus, not trying to gain weight, would advocate that you chew each bite of food some arbitrary number like 32 times. This is because the slower you eat the sooner into your meal you will start to feel full. Not to mention the numerous other benefits.
By wolfing down your food you are able to get more in before the feedback loop of fullness kicks in.

Damn.
“Now before you lay into it, I want you to sit on your couch and just stare at that fucker. I want you to understand that that pizza right there is keeping you from your goals.”
This guy is in a zen-like state when he’s talking about this.
“Now you’re on the clock,” he continues. "After 20 minutes your brain is going to tell you you’re full. Don’t listen to that shit. You have to try and eat as much of the pizza as you can before that 20-minute mark. Double up pieces if you have to. I’m telling you now, you’re going to get three or four pieces in and you’re gonna want to quit. You fucking can’t quit. You have to sit on that couch until every piece is done.
And if you can’t finish it, don’t you ever come back to me and tell me you can’t gain weight. 'Cause I’m gonna tell you that you don’t give a fuck about getting bigger and you don’t care how much you lift!"
–Dave Tate, excerpt from the secret of gaining weight.

I would have guessed the opposite. Since the more you chew, the easier you can digest the food, meaning more nutrients are absorbed.

The body is much more efficient than that unless you are eating something like corn with a tough outer cover that needs broken/crushed before being chemically digested.

Are you being sarcastic? I hope?
You do know that’s not an upright row, right? Unless I am seeing it wrong, it looks like a power-clean to me.
