To clear a few things up: this isn't to bag on bodybuilding. Its more to answer the question of why athletes for certain sports who may don't train for hypertrophy often look lean, muscular, and well-proportioned.

Almost anyone who’s not a body builder would say that athletes look better than body builders. Most people don’t care about the insane amount of muscle and very low body fat of body builders. They prefer more athletic physiques like gymnastics, Fighters , football players (both soccer and American football) , basketball, ect.

You compare the top olympic athletes against what type of bodybuilder exactly? The average? You have to compare apples with apples to be honest. Top bodybuilder, the ones participating in Mr Olympia, are nowhere near olympic athletes in terms of muscle mass.

I tried to take steroids out of the equation for this reason. I'm comparing standard 5-6x week gym-goers with people who train for certain sports with the same volume.

Something not mentioned is that most athletes that are good enough to be on tv didn't just start there. Most of them have been apart of sports training programs from middle school to college. During that time they have very structured training routines that yield them may of the gains we see. So that alone turns it into a question of why does the person with 10 years of consistent and often well managed training look better than the person with 2-3 years of potentially haphazard training. Granted a bodybuilder with competent programming over 10 years would most likely have an objectively better physique due, in no small part, to specificity.

This is the type of discussion I wanted, great point! That’s true, but there are a lot of people also transition from high school sports into pure gym work after graduation. It’d be cool to see someone trying to gather stats on that.

One thing you haven't mentioned, specifically in the varied training section, is that different exercises emphasise growth at different muscle lengths. Which means, when you do the same exercise again and again, you end up creating a very specific muscle shape. Moreover, many gymbros mess up their proportions, underdevelop a muscle group here, overdevelop a muscle group there.

You wanna tell us that runners train with a larger range of motion than bodybuilders? 🤣 That cyclists have a better balanced physique than bodybuilders of a comparable level?

What is the video even about? Same level athletes looks worse than same level bodybuilders (when you judge them by bodybuilding standards). The people you are comparing these athletes to are not "actual bodybuilders". Average gym goer isnt a bodybuilder same as an average dude that goes for a run 3-4 days a week isnt an actual athlete.

Its a tricky topic to cover. I'm trying to compare people who go to the gym 5-6x week, training for hypertrophy to athletes of power-based sports.

The Chinese Olympic weightlifting team are actually trying to look good. They do hypertrophy training when needed. The Italian Olympic weightlifting team are doing the same.

Interesting point, I wonder what proportion of their total volume is taken up by this, can’t see it being more than 20%

People will cope saying that all athletes just have the magic genes that make them specially athletic in all sports. But its mostly good habits learned while being an athlete, but habits that are more powerfull than just the standard sleeping at a good time and eating your veggies. Its stuff like flexibility, good breathing, actual good rest and such. Like you might have extra long legs, or a specific gene that makes your bones denser, but when someone is generally ''more athletic'' thats almost always due to some sort of habit that saves them a ton of inflamation, allows them to rest better, gives them the ability to exert their muscles more, and such. The day teh science comunity stops chucking everything up to genetics and starts looking we will all be super humans (or more specifically peak humans, wich is what we are all evolved for, practically no one has ''bad genes'')

For sure, there’s countless factors that could be at play here. It’s just all become a bit muddy with the rise of fake natties and unrealistic expectations. But anyone can look good and be athletic!
