I was looking for an egg joke. It's as egg as the nose on plain's face.

I always thought from hearing it that it meant they ate a lot of raw eggs, since that is sometimes associated with bodybuilding. I guess it means you look like an animal that would normally be yoked together to pull a plough or some such

No actual bodybuilder eats raw eggs, raw eggwhites have significantly lower bioavailability than cooked ones. And if you live in the US they are a salmonella risk as well

Nope, just a homophone. Though several companies cash in on body building pseudoscience with that.
