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

* [b] Comparison with [[toned male]][/b]
Details like bulkiness of the [[thick arms |arms]], [[thick neck|neck]],  [[strongman waist|waist]], and [[broad shoulders]] are a good way to distinguish between [[toned]] and [[muscular]] builds.

[i]Do not use [/i][[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.
