beefcakes
Gym-sculpted showoffs
Beefcakes are muscular, physically imposing men, especially those who display their bodies: The gym was full of beefcakes flexing in the mirror.
The term carries a playful or mildly mocking tone, treating male physique as visual spectacle—the masculine counterpart to cheesecake.
A single such man is a beefcake.
