stockiness
Solid, thick physique
Stockiness is the quality of being stocky—having a solid, compact build that is broad and sturdy rather than tall or slender.
The word describes a body type that suggests strength and sturdiness: His stockiness made him ideal for wrestling.
It carries no negative connotation, simply describing a thick-set physique.
