Exactly, I'm not looking for bulk. I'm a runner. I love to run. I need good abs, good legs, good arms, but not too much of one. It's one of those delicate balance areas. So that when I run, one part of my body doesn't get tired faster than another.
For instance, back a couple years ago, I totally ignored my arms. That was my biggest mistake ever. I would get 3-4 miles into my run and my arms would get so tired, I could barely lift them. It really hindered my developement as a competitive runner. But, these past two years I've balanced out my strength and now I can go 8 miles without one muscle group getting more tired than the others.
I often see too many people totally bulk up in one area, then just ingnore all the other parts. Then they get all unproportional with their body. That can be really bad for you if you compete.
