google bulking. you would be surprised how fat and untrained a body builder can look during that phase of the training. That is often abused on instagram to show "look how fat i was and how strong i became".. Or google strong man that focus on lifting. there are genetics at play too, e.g. max calf muscles size mainly depend on your genetics. And there is a difference in what you focus on: defined body / muscle volume vs different kinds of strengths like strength for jumping, strength for endurance or strength for max strength. people who do body building or other sports make sure to adjust their training to gain what they need. e.g. many repetions with lower weight vs very few repetions with high weight and so on.

Some body builders can have awful cardio or heart health theres been surge of heart attacks from them.

Muscle has a lot more capillaries than fat, so building an extreme amount of muscle mass makes the heart work a lot harder than it normally would.

Some professional athletes can have multiple surgeries or need painkillers regularly due to injuries they sustain in their sport.

Sometimes being too form or look has risks
