458 Muscle for Being

I once saw a documentary program featuring a sculptor working for the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona for years. His masterpieces were impressive of course, but the moment the interviewer (and the audience, including me) couldn't help exclaiming in admiration was when the camera caught his well-build, refined, lean yet sturdy body. He seemed to be maybe in his 60's. He laughed embarrassedly at the admiration and just answered "Naturally. I handle heavy stone." 

The other day I read an interview of a renowned dancer who told that he almost never tried muscle training or muscle building, though no need to mention that he had a body like a sculptured figure. He also said he felt most comfortable when he controls his muscle created only through dancing. 

Muscle is not for the muscle itself. It's for movement and power.

The insight of these stories is simple. Our body is (might be) trained through its profession in its own way. I wonder if sculptor, dancer, singer, fireman, conductor, driver, postman, chef, gardener, doctor, economist, fisherman, copywriter, artisan, all the houseworker and everybody could have its own trained fine muscle justly fit for the each professional movement.
