working out too much with weights totally messed up my game...leaner and toned is fine...but bulking up (even a little bit)...it's almost like trying to learn to swing a club again..and readjusting a bit...

Dude, I don't really think adding some bulk would make you feel like that. I added 15 pounds of muscle last season and right now I'm hitting it better than ever. Go figure.

Swing = Stacked and On Plane when possible.

True, but I stand behind the point about muscle not interfering with a swing. Also, It's not like I'm big, I'm 6'00" 175 lbs, so I'm far from bulky.

Oh, I completley agree. I'm a big advocate of building muscles for golf, particularly in the lower body and core. Prime iexample is Tiger Woods, the guy is built like a tank. I'm not big either barley pushing 10 and a half stone (bout 145 pounds) and 5'9''.
