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! |
So, he strengthens up without bulking up. Nevertheless, he strengthens up and sees more benefit from it than he sees disadvantages.
It takes quite a lot of bulk before the sheer size of the muscle begins to hinder the person in their activity. There is a long way to go before anybody becomes muscle-bound while there is only a short way to go to become just a little bit stronger, strong enough to play golf.
If we only look at the best player today, he gained about 40lbs of muscle and it does not appear to hinder him one bit.
