I know where you're coming from, just that those particular athletes aren't really the best way to illustrate your point. They've been lifting for so much of their careers that you can't really say what is due to weights and what is due to swimming and what is just what they would have even if they didn't exercise at all. Going back to Lionel, I probably have more muscle mass than he does (i'm about his height and outweigh him by 45 lbs or so) and I don't lift at all. I do, unfortunately, have a lot more body fat covering it up. which is slowly coming off ;-)
Sorry but i don't have any 1970s era pictures to post. And regarding yourself, i think it's absolutely true that some guys will be pretty muscular even if they do nothing at all, and then get really big if they hits the weights hard.
