The issue is not building muscles, in almost any body building competition, what comes with it is lowering body fat to unhealthy levels.

Know well that something as simple as visible abdominal muscles already requires a body fat percentage that is lower than what is generally considered healthy.[0]

One's musculature should not be “defined” for optimal health, — that requires dropping below healthy fat levels.

Professional body builders go far beyond that, of course.
