Heavily built, yet am shoved around (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meaty

'heavily built' is the definition.
(with a lot of flesh or meat)

'yet am shoved around' is the wordplay.
'shoved around' indicates an anagram (letters shoved into new positions).
'yet'+'am'='yetam'
'yetam' with letters rearranged gives 'MEATY'.

(Other definitions for meaty that I've seen before include "Full of substance, nourishment" , "Substantive -- like beef or pork?" , "Hearty" , "Fleshy, or full of informative matter" , "Brawny; full of substance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
