Characters[]
Synopsis[]
When exercise aficionados around the world behaving strangely, growing enormous muscles and developing strangely colored skin, super-human strength, and seriously uncontrollable tempers, Jerry puts the girls on the case. Their investigation leads them to an ex-Mr. Planet (1977) (think Arnold Schwarzenegger) whose brand new product, "Bulky Bar", is causing his competitors to go beserk. Alex defeats him by consuming a number of his muscle bars to become taller and stronger, matching and then exceeding his power, eventually causing him to surrender.
In a B-story, Alex meets Raymond, a really cute bodybuilder at her gym and they totally hit it off, that is, until he turns into a huge enormous musclebound bodybuilder. Alex tries to pick up where she left off with Raymond. Unfortunately the effects of the bars do not wear off immediately for her because he's too strong and massive, and as he is turned off by women who are more muscular than he is, he runs away just as an enraged Alex has to be restrained by Sam and Clover.

Trivia[]

Error[]
- Goof: Despite Raymond and Alex both being affected by the bars only Raymond reverts to normal immediately. This could be because Wernerstein only intended it to be eaten by men (his competition) and the bar has a longer effect on women.
- Goof: When Robert Biffcake eats the bar at the beginning of the episode, his muscles grow immediately after consuming it. However, later on, when Raymond eats the bar prior to the competition, his muscles grow some time after consuming it.
- Goof: When Alex cannot get the barbell off her chest her shirt is colored green instead of white.
- Goof: When Alex says Raymond is adorable Clover's belt is missing.
- Goof: When Alex shakes the box of of Oxygen Enhanced Gum her lipstick turns dark-ish red.
- Goof: When Clover seals Raymond's mouth shut, his skin and hair are lighter in color.
