swole

Bulging with gains

Swole is slang for muscular, describing someone with visibly developed muscles from weight training: He's been hitting the gym—dude is swole.

The word comes from swollen, suggesting muscles that have expanded from exercise.

It carries an approving tone, often used admiringly or as a goal: trying to get swole for summer.
