Bodybuilders are going to be freaking strong compared to the vast majority of the bell curve of people. And speaking from experience, that weight training can really increase cardio health too (I can't do much lower-body cardio because of disability, but get a lot out of upper-body workouts). It's just that they're doing what they do primarily for aesthetic reasons; the strength is more of a side-effect (and the drugs can be problematic as the article alludes to). There's also no correlation with martial arts skill really; that's an entirely other thing.
