roided up

Roided up means having the exaggerated muscular physique associated with anabolic steroid use—bulging muscles, prominent veins, unnaturally large proportions: That guy is totally roided up.

The term often carries judgment, implying the physique wasn't achieved naturally.

Extended to describe anything aggressively enhanced or overpowered: a roided-up version of the original game engine.
