Jambo, I see exactly what your saying but I think the outcome of someones frame comes more from the weight lifted, reps, diet and suppliments rather than the actual movements they are doing. I see no reason why a t-shirt poser cannot include deads/squats etc in their routine without becoming a meathead.
If only it was that easy to be built like Arnie was.

On another note.. I've never included deadlifts or squats because i'm paranoid about injuring my back.
Best take some now then Mark as progress is continual.
Plus how you look now is where its at, no-one walks around with a t-shirt on with a pic printed on the front of how they used to look to make their current look seem a better achievement. Well no-one apart from Coldo & Brad
Joking aside, take some pics even if its only for your own use as you soon forget what you used to look like as you see it every day. Its hard to see the change.
Oh and I would be jealous because I expect unlike you I can't see my feet when standing.
