How can you have bulky muscle or bulky muscle tissue. I know that the goal is to work towards lean muscle, but what is bulky muscle compared to lean muscle? I have muscle but is it bulky, well I can leg press 500 pounds, bench press 230, and curl 130.

There are two different types of muscles.
"Fast twitch, or type 1 fibers" and "slow twitch, type 2 fibers"
Type 1, is what you are calling bulky muscles, that you see on a bodybuilder.
Type 2, is what you are calling lean muscle, that you see on a long distance runner.
And there is also numerous different muscle fiber types in between type 1 and 2.
Work all types, to get the most out of fitness.
Weight train, and run, and every thing in between.

What Does Bulky Mean

Usually 'bulky' means fit - a good build. But it may also have been used to say that you are also quite large/fat whilst having quite a good build. I hope that makes sense!
