Jacked

Definition

The state of being extremely muscular, where your body looks like it was sculpted by an artist who only knew how to make things bigger. Getting jacked requires years of dedication, perfect nutrition, and the willingness to spend more on protein than rent.

Example Usage

"He got so jacked that his old shirts became crop tops and he had to buy new clothes, which is either a fitness success story or a very expensive wardrobe malfunction."
