They don't look to me like the muscles you will only get when you are doing body-building.

Here are some images that show the body types of Olympic athletes and their field.

Competitive athletes in peak physical condition are surely sporting the most ideal, perfect bodies. They spend hours a day training and shaping their bodies into the strongest, leanest, most effective machines they can. So, they should all look like models, right? Of course not. Because humans are not manufactured like robots. We are beautifully diverse. And that’s a good thing. Let this serve as a reminder that there is no such thing as the “ideal” body or body type. (Ahem, video game designers … )

Sociological Images has the full gallery, which was taken by Howard Schartz and Beverly Ornstein. Caution: Viewing these pictures might motivate you to work out. That is a good thing. Go with it, and start slow. Or else you’ll pull a boob muscle, like I did.
