I didn't say go become a gymnasts. Anyone can do many of the conditioning routines gymnasts do to improve strength and technique. Push-ups, dips, crunches, v-ups, etc. are the most basic things most gymnasts do to strengthen their muscles and since most people are not going to be pushing boulders around I don't see a point in doing any kind of heavy lifting if you're exercising simply to reap the benefits of exercise. Also, I didn't make a claim about accidentally adding too much muscle. I simply stated that the kind of muscles that weight-lifting builds is different from the kind of muscles you will build if you don't use weights. I've done both and simple routines that I can do at home exercise more muscle groups without isolating specific areas and overall I feel much better.
