meathead
Muscular but dim
A meathead is someone perceived as stupid or intellectually dull, especially a muscular man assumed to have developed his body at the expense of his brain.
The term suggests that the head contains meat rather than a functioning mind: Don't be such a meathead—think before you act.
Often applied to gym obsessives or jocks.
