Except he wasn’t a “carpenter” in the sense that we think of it. He wasn’t a woodworker building tall tables and chairs. The translation would be more accurate as “builder” or “construction worker”.
Would still be in good shape, but nothing out of the ordinary.
You know construction workers are jacked compared to desk workers right? Like if you take a random construction worker and a random office worker, neither of which lift, the construction worker is going to tend towards both more mass overall (as it helps prevent injuries) and more muscle mass (because working out as your work tends to do a lot for your body)

They’re either built like trucks or real wiry. Though the wiry guys tend to do more climbing which might explain the difference.
In other words, jacked because he had to go into a forest and cut down his own tree.
to be fair to you, technically those are other words.
