You know, I can understand why this statement has some follow-up questions because it sounds so crazy, but I have heard the same thing.
My workout partner is a CSCS and he has told me that the core-strength and functionality is so different (not to mention the mechanics) that there are instances of these massive guys not being able to do a proper push-up with their own bodyweight. Obviously, they would have a shorter learning-curve than most others, but yeah, this scenario could actually exist.
