I read somewhere (and this might not be true so correct me if I am wrong) that people who do things like push ups, pullups, and squats are generally stronger than those who lift weights (Unless your lifting above your bodywieght) but those who lift weights have bigger muscles.

Well ye, the people that do push-ups and pull-ups are the ones that push them selves to the limit to get that last push or pull; but you don't see that with body builders (at least the majority), I've seen many people that drop the weights as soon as they think they can't do another rep or so. My weight is just under 150 lb and I can only curl 45 pounds per arm for 6 reps, but I can do 10 push-ups on one hand (both left & right), I don't know how I would compare this with body weight and one's arm strength but thats how it is.

Teenagers seem to be on a faster pace for getting strong because during the late stages of puberty the body produces somthing similar to a natural anabolic steroid you could say. As for peak with biceps when doing curls after your last rep squeez your biceps pretty much til it hurts. Arnold Schwarzzenager(spelling) says that is how you get the most peak and pump in your arms. I've been doing it during my bicep workouts and it has increased my peak a good amount. It hurts but you pain no gain.
