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.
Dont want to reignite this "banter" - I am friends with a professional squash player - he has to be extremely carefull about the amount of muscle he puts on because he has to be very mobile and flexible. His emphasis is increasing what his coach calls "wirey strength" - ie. Muscle strength without added bulk ...
He hits the ball an absolute mile at golf as well despite looking a lot less muscular than some of the other guys we play with!
