I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like gym user md accepting bad clues?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'md accepting bad clues?' is the wordplay.
'accepting' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are accepted).
'bad' is an anagram indicator.
'clues' is an anagram of 'uscle'.
'md' going around 'uscle' is 'MUSCLED'.
