stocky build
Short and sturdy
A stocky build describes a body type that is compact, solid, and broad—shorter than average with a thick, sturdy frame.
The term suggests physical strength without height: He had the stocky build of a wrestler.
Neither complimentary nor insulting, it simply describes someone built low to the ground with substantial muscle or bulk.
