it's for the beefcake look.
but to be fair, they onlt look like that when going in ofr competition, at other time they are no where near as ripped as that.
i think they go down to somthing like 3% body fat, which when you compare to an olympic sprinter during the olympics is something like 7% it's quite low, it's an unsustainible level to keep at.
i knew a guy who did this and when training for a competition he used to tape his mouth over in the shower so as not to take on any extra fluid other then what was in his strict diet.
