"Bill, Bulk and the Body Buddies" is the 212th episode of the FOX animated television series "King of the Hill".

Plot

Bill has an upcoming Army physical, which he is in no shape to pass, as he only passed the last physical through a mistake. Knowing he will have to shape up, he starts by buying a set of weights and machines, converting his garage into a home gym. When he goes to a GNC-style supplement store to buy vitamins, he meets a group of bodybuilders who are friendly but way too macho. With the help of his new friends, Bill manages to bulk up, but becomes aggressive himself and develops a bad attitude, alienating Hank and the gang.

Bill collapses during a work out, but his bodybuilder friends misunderstand his condition, forcing him to continue working out all night instead of taking him to the hospital. Hank, still angry, is reluctant to help him at first, but eventually he and the gang come to the rescue, tricking the bodybuilders by pretending to argue about which one has the best physique. Soon, the bodybuilders are caught up in posing against each other in front of their mirror, and Hank is able to sneak Bill away from them.

Bill again escapes having to pass the Army physical when it turns out that he will be unable to walk for weeks. He will also lose the bulk he gained by then, but he and Hank (now reconciled) agree that it is for the best.
