brawniness

Muscular body type

Brawniness is the quality of being muscular and physically powerful.

The word emphasizes bulk and strength over definition or tone: The brawniness of the wrestlers was intimidating.

It carries a slight suggestion of roughness or working-class physicality rather than gym-sculpted fitness.
