muscular male

A male who is very muscular. An overall bulky, bodybuilder physique, with large biceps, developed abs, and large pectorals.

• Comparison with toned male

Details like bulkiness of the arms, neck, waist, and broad shoulders are a good way to distinguish between toned and muscular builds.

Do not use pectorals size alone as a determinant for this tag. It is common in artwork to draw them unproportional to the rest of the body, especially with manboobs etc.
