Don't know about genetics, but probably to steroids.
I don't think you realize how ridiculously muscular some powerlifters are. I don't care how many reps you do, if you can bench press 500 raw, you're going to have a big chest. If you can deadlift 700, you'll have a muscular back. If you can squat 600, you'll have legs.
With regard to the deadlift and squat, you're just wrong. They're risky if you do them incorrectly. They're safe if done with good form.
Assistance work varies among powerlifters. Strikeback is the guy to ask about it.
