Is Goku stronger than Gohan in the end of DBZ?

Discussion, generally of an in-universe nature, regarding any aspect of the franchise (including movies, spin-offs, etc.) such as: techniques, character relationships, internal back-history, its universe, and more.

I never got this. Gohan didn't train that much for 7 years after the Cell Games, and yet, during Boo saga, he was still depicted as quite buff and muscular, whereas Goten and Trunks were shown as scrawny young men during the 26th Budokai. If I didn't work out for 7 years (never mind 22 years), then I would either be very skinny or very fat (very out of shape, let's just put it that way), but I would never look like Gohan in GT or in the Boo saga.

I don't recall Goten and Trunks being depicted as scrawny young men at the 28th TB, but anyway, I don't think it should matter, since they're superhuman and half-Saiyan, after all.

The only other example of a super-warrior losing his muscle was Muten Roushi pre-22nd TB, although he could still use his buffed-out max-power form. But he's an Earthling, and nowhere near Gohan, Goten and Trunks' levels.

To conclude: don't try to align DB with real-life in such situations like this.
