To avoid getting bulky muscles don't use heavy weights when working out.Try to use small amounts of weight (less than 8lbs). Also stretch out lots! Ballet and yoga are also good for toning muscle instead of building.

The bulkiness of your muscles has nothing to do with the workout. It has everything to do with your eating habits. If you want a lean look then cut out carbs from your diet and use a good protein supplement which has Whey Protein Isolates. These are easily absorbed in your body and can give you that lean look. Work out as much as possible.

Which burns more fat a lean muscle or bulk muscle?

Answer There's no such thing. Muscle is muscle. There are no "lean" muscles or "bulky"muscles. Some people have a greater muscle mass, some have less muscle mass- but that mass is muscle. A pound of muscle is going to require energy to stay around. If you have a greater muscle mass, you'll have a greater metabolism. He's right you know. This is really splitting hairs!
