muscly
Like a bodybuilder
Muscly describes someone or something with well-developed, visibly prominent muscles: He had muscly arms from years of construction work.
The word is informal and slightly playful compared to the more neutral muscular.
It often carries a hint of admiration or emphasis on physical bulk: a muscly bouncer at the door.
