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!

Yes. Weightlifting can increase the amount of lean muscle mass you have. The more lean muscle mass you have, the greater your metabolic rate. A pound of muscle burns many times more calories over the course of a day than a pound of fatty tissue. So weightlifting is of great benefit when it comes to being leaner and carrying less fatty tissue. .

Does an increase in muscle mass increase your metabolism?

Yes, an increase in muscle mass usually does mean that your metabolism will be higher--if you remain lean without starving yourself.

I always try to keep in mind that my muscles ARE my metabolism.
