Edit: Excess muscle is a liability in many sports. Off the top of my head, neither running and climbing benefit from being "big" like what most fitness influencers aim for. Muscle is both heavy and requires additional energy/oxygen input to keep fed.
- xboxnolifes 3y agoIt's not just amount of muscle either, but also the kinds of muscle. Each sport has particular muscles that benefit that sport more. Influencers focus on the muscles that are visibly attractive.

I would guess a majority of fitness influencers are somewhat genetically gifted in being fit. Whereas a quarterback might be genetically gifted at passing a football.
