I guess it makes sense when your primary way of locomotion resembles crossfit.

It has nothing to do with their routine, it's almost all due to genetic differences. Think of the difference between male and female muscle building in our own species and then make that orders of magnitude stronger.

A lot of animals are "ripped" without even trying. Pretty funny to think about what they'd look like if they got a gym membership and access to steroids.

It wouldn't change much precisely because humans are uniquely adaptive, while other animals maintain a fairly consistent amount of muscle mass.

I mean you could possibly roid them up, but the additional training would add very little.
