You can have too much bulk for specific tasks. You can't have too much speed, agility, endurance, flexibility, etc.

Sprinters definitely spend time in the weight room lifting heavy. Stop thinking on extremes.. too much bulk would be someone training for the Olympia, which 99% of the lifting community is not doing. To each their own, but that 'no carry over' argument is just plain reeruned.
