Full squats, deadlifts, bench press, and press will always be king. They're the best for you and require no specialized equipment, really.
I've always wondered why people thought you had to have a bodybuilding routine in order to get huge... Those routines are tailor made for each individual AFTER having reached their genetic potential. In most cases, to help push themselves beyond their genetic potential with the aid of anabolics.
In my opinion, Sifu Chiu Wai looks like someone who could have easily done nothing other than basic compound lifts, his kung fu training, and just practiced a healthy lifestyle.
the issue with bodybuilding isn't getting huge. The issue with bodybuilding is that such exercises isolate muscles. Also, getting bigger is typically a more bodybuilding mentality. Of course you can do O lifts and get big.
