Surely it's possible that some folks get bulky with heavy lifting and some don't?
Of course....but again were talking about two very different types of things; power lifting vs. bodybuilding.
Remember Rich A's quote about the problem with adult/masters swimmers being that "when they swim slow they swim to fast and when they swim fast they swim to slow". Same thing can be said about weight training, lots of folks who don't understand it and do it in ways that probably are not specific to their end goal(s).
Bottom line however is that if your focus is 50-100 then strength training according to most respected coaches/athletes is a necessity to maximize your potential.
