muscle man
Gym-sculpted physique owner
A muscle man is a man with a heavily developed, muscular physique—the kind displayed by bodybuilders and strongmen.
The term often carries a slightly cartoonish quality, evoking exaggerated biceps and posed flexing: He looked like a muscle man from an old comic book.
It can also mean an enforcer or bodyguard hired for physical intimidation rather than brains.
