strapping
This term carries a positive, admiring connotation, evoking an image of robust health and impressive physical stature. It is almost exclusively applied to males, particularly those in their youth or early adulthood, suggesting a natural, hearty strength rather than a gym-built or muscular physique.
Because it describes a general state of being well-built and healthy, it is rarely used in formal medical or technical contexts. Instead, it appears in descriptive storytelling or casual conversation to highlight a person's imposing but wholesome presence.
