A term for a phony tough guy who acts like he owns the gym. Often smells bad from wearing the same clothes and cant wipe his own ass and has cheesy tattoos. Will use steroids, plastic surgery and any other short cut to impress people. While most people snicker behind their back you often find him posing in pictures with his shirt off and looking in the mirror thinking he's an adonis.
Check out that guy in the skull t-shirt grunting and slamming weights on the ground, hes tank tough.
