I've talked to many intelligent people and professors who insist that talent doesn't exist and that expertise is almost exclusively determined by practice. To me, this is as preposterous as a belief in witches or unicorns, but damned if they don't defend it with verve.

Projection by you (of course). You made an extreme claim - not just that gym rats are usually stronger but that there are no counterexamples. There are. The weaker version of your claim is still wrong - anyone who goes to the gym knows that innate talent matters a huge amount.
