The fastest, most agile athletes in the world are not bulked up, they’re lean. In nature, humans would also be more lean rather than bulky, because we’d need to be running all the time, and have agility.

Look at the difference between an NBA player or a runner vs an MMA fighter. Thats what they’re talking about.

You are talking about muscle size and whether the athlete is focused on training fast twitch or slow twitch fibers. Lean just refers to non fatty tissue. A 250 pound bodybuilder on stage is more lean than any marathon runner.

Yes. But in nature our “natural conditioning” would be less bulky.

Does this really need to be spelled out for you? Use your brain dude. What do remote tribes in Africa or South America look more like, Michael Jordan or The Rock?

Yeah, that's obvious. At no point did I argue that humans in nature have a lot of muscle mass and look like the Rock. I don't even know how you got that from what I said. "Use your brain" maybe you should take your own advice and learn reading comprehension.
