Anyways dude is like 5'10", 210 lbs of pure muscle. He told me he just quit roiding a few weeks ago though. He gave me some tips on stuff, but I also noticed he didn't seem to be using proper form on any lift, and he was using his legs to help him lift giant amounts of weight for these shoulder workouts.

Just because someone is big, doesn't mean they know what they are doing. I've seen plenty of juiced out freaks who have the worst form and rarely do any compound lifts. Mainly live on machines and cables.
Then again, I've seen many juiced out freaks who are excellent sources of knowledge and do things by the book.
I've also met some skinny guys who have plenty of knowledge, good lifting form and maybe just poor genetics for size.
I rarely judge someone's personal appearance in relation to their lifting knowledge and who's brain I would pick for training advice. You've got plenty of knowledgeable posters here and I can tell that by what they post. I could care less what they look like.
We all have different starting points and genetic ceilings. Just keep grinding to be your best. I've got no hate for those who choose to roid and lift like beasts. I myself, have just not chosen that route to aid my lifting.
