strapping
Broad and muscular
Strapping describes someone tall, strong, and robustly built—the kind of physicality that suggests health and vigor: a strapping young man, strapping farm boys.
The word carries admiration, often applied to youth whose size promises capability.
Separately, strapping is the present participle of strap: She was strapping the luggage to the roof.
