“Is their a relation between flexibility and huge muscles? I heard body building turns your body very stiff and makes you loose all your flexibility. Is it true?

I have been a bodybuilder for 6 years and carry a noticeable amount of muscle. I have only ever noticed an INCREASE in flexibility over the years. I always make sure I stretch thoroughly before my weights workout (after warm-up) between sets and after my workout.
I have occasionally seen the really huge men looking like they can barely walk because they have built their legs to such an extent that they can’t properly move past each other but I am talking about the real steroid monster men and even then, it’s not a lack of flexibility as such.
