We benefit more from being stronger than from anything else. It's also easier to become stronger than anything else. So all in all, it's better to aim for greater strength.[/quote
mus·cle·bound also mus·cle-bound (msl-bound)
adj. 1. Having inelastic, overdeveloped muscles, usually as the result of excessive exercise.
2. a. Hindered by or as if by overdeveloped muscles.

who said anything abouth strength!
there are lots of sports where it is better to be supple
You did, just there:

"there are lots of sports where being muscle bound is a distinct disadvantage"

From my experience and from the specific quality of muscles, muscle bound or overdeveloped muscles means strength and lots of it. So, you're the one who wrote something about strength.

Please name one sport where it is a distinct disadvantage to be muscle bound and now please name one sport where it is better to be supple.
