Functional muscle.
You mean, being too big to wipe your own ass isn't considered functional muscle?
That's a problem we would all love to have....On a side note, the first pic is ridiculous if it's not photo shopped.
I thought shopped at first, but some gymnasts are pretty damn built.
Built to move their own bodyweight, not so much external loads.
NO!
YES! They're all 5'5.
Yah. Sorry, bro. That's what I meant. All the really good guys I ran across were all about that height and 145-155lbs. And they were amazing. I was just a hacker who had a few good moves but no real gym sense.* When I was on the team the really good guys came from York because their coach was a former Japanese Olympic competitor. Ours was a mining engineer, so lotsa beer appreciation * i do have my varsity letter somewhere. maybe my mum has it.
I pretty much just liked jumping on the tramampoline. More of a swimmer through high school. Still got the physique to prove it.
A lot of them may not have the genetic potential to get really big legs. At that level, their genetic potential might be so specific that their tendency to have small legs might be what helps them maneuver their bodies so well.

You see some great upper body development on them. Pity they're the height and weight of a ten year old boy.
