Step 1) Open find
Step 2) Go to classifieds
Step 3) Search for "male skins"
Step 4) Go to place that sells skins
Step 5) Buy skin with muscles

Important warning.

Steer clear of any skins that rely on a lot of painted shadows. Pick those that just use moderately varying tones. All the lighting effects available mess up the look of skins that depend on painted shadows.

Example of mess-up: A skin that artificially puts shadows on the underside surfaces will look very weird and will have 2 shadows (above and below) when lighting comes from below.

I don't really shop for stuff. So can't really suggest how to find what you want in-world.

Check out SL Exchange marketplace at www.slexchange.com . You might find something there. Again, steer clear of the heavily shadowed skins.

Making skins is a lot like making clothing for SL, and both are hard work. You might check out this thread to learn more about what goes into making clothing and skins:

As far as making the skin texture goes, some people "paint" their skins directly onto a template in a program like Photoshop or GIMP, while others manipulate photo sources to create a unique skin. Both methods can be difficult, but get easier with practice.

If you want to make your own muscle skin you can download the body templates from SL's download page. Another good resource to help would be Chips' templates that lays a grid over them to more acuratly match up front/back torrso/legs.

If you're wanting a skin texture to alter, good luck finding that. You'll probally have to paint it yourself or take a shot at making a photorealism skin. Other 3d programs may offer a default skin for thier models, or have pay only skins. But even then files and formats are not aligned for SL and will still require work to line it up properly.

And if you are making your own skin, listen to Aodhans' warning.
