Is there anything different I need to do if I have a lot of muscle.

Is there anything different I need to do if I have a lot of muscle. I have big arms chest shoulders and back. I can’t make the same moves with my arms as normal players. I’ve been golfing for 31/2 years now and I feel like I have tried all the swings that are out there without success. One swing I’ll block it. One swing slice it etc. I know I can close my stance but I still have issues.

Hello Kyle. It would be tough without seeing the setup and movement. You will tend to see taller players will require more knee bend and larger chested players may not have their arms as close together as setup. But, the it doesn't require a lot of elevation to reach proper arm height going back. You may need to adjust how much you coil/open the hips/etc. Nevertheless even with your build there shouldn't be any cray adjustments you need. You more than likely are just building tension in the wrong place at the wrong time. I have some larger students matching you build I could show you for comparison if needed.
