Every 2 years it happens. The Olympics come on. And every 2 years I find myself asking, "how on earth do they look like that?" Well, athletics are their full time jobs. Surely if I were to pack it all in and train, train, train then eat, eat, eat, I could look like that, right? Ummm... The New York Times takes a look at Olympian physiques - both from a modern day perspective, as well as from the point of view of history. The result? Gawk away. They are close to gods in the fitness arena.
