Definition
健美 (jiàn měi) refers to bodybuilding as a sport (noun) or a fit, muscular physique (adjective). It emphasizes deliberate physical training for a sculpted look. In contrast, 茁壮 (zhuó zhuàng) describes natural, sturdy growth, like a healthy plant or child — it does not imply gym training or competition.
