Abe is actually quite muscular. Not ripped, but he's been doing back-breaking labor his whole life. He's by no means a weakling. He can break open metal locks by slapping them, and other mudokons are capable of killing themselves by smacking themselves in the head.

There have been quite a few fictional alien races that have been based on the physique of a Massai warrior or basketball player (Kroot, anyone?). They are muscular, but not bulgy; they've got muscles like steel cables that jerk taut. It gives a more unearthly quality.
