Is there anything wrong with studying 70-80 hours a week?

Yes, it's hard to do

Your social life and mental and emotional health will likely suffer, and unless you're a medical or law student, that's far more than you should need to study to get good grades with a full-time schedule.

Spending 70-80 hours a week between research, studying and teaching as a graduate student is to be expected but that's simply more study time than should be necessary for a standard paced degree program.

There are other reasons for studying than grades. You'd expect someone one the science board to realize this.

You can't change your nature, no matter how hard you try. Sucks, but it's true.

If it works for you.
Personally I can only focus on studying for 3 or 4 hours a day.

No. Very few people raise the bar above their immediate expectations. It doesn't matter if it's the science board or /r9k/, most people are mediocre and content with barely good results.
Some people exert themselves for 6 or more hours a day, but they are a very small minority, and somehow they are not only able to take it but not burn out because of it.
5 or 6 hours a day of dedicated work is already more than, say, 80% of people are willing to put into something, however important.

I mean stem is something that harnesses and hones your intelligence

so you can be smarter than the average person but I'd argue that it's not until you really start testing your limits and thought processes that you can truly reach your potential intellectually

pretty much if the extent of your intellectual endeavors are arguing online with a bunch of other unemployed or underemployed morons, you're never gonna be great

kind of like a 6' 6" 260 lb guy who never goes to the gym or practices any sports

Well, you're right about that. STEM is more intellectually stimulating than humanities.
However, studying humanities is still intellectually stimulating, moreso than playing sports, for instance.
