man-mountain
Enormous hulking figure
A man-mountain is an exceptionally large, powerfully built man—someone whose physical presence dominates a room.
The term evokes someone so massive they seem geological: The man-mountain of a bouncer blocked the doorway.
It's usually admiring or at least impressed, emphasizing sheer size rather than fitness or athleticism.
