+ | SpongeBob starts his day off by posing in front of a mirror as he gets ready to make himself "large and wide." He goes to his [[stuffed animal barbell]] weights, and with great effort manages to lift them over his head before falling to the side. Just then, Sandy comes inside, and SpongeBob shows off his stick arm "muscles," bragging about his "state of the art weight set." However, Sandy bluntly tells him that he is not going to gain any muscle mass lifting those. She then shows him her arms and asks if he wants arms like them. He then decides he could use some help and Sandy recommends he starts using her own personal training program. SpongeBob is ecstatic, imagining himself being big and muscular in various situations - flipping Krabby Patties, jellyfishing and sleeping - with a bodybuilder's physique and agrees to come to {{Link|Sandy's treedome}} at 5 AM to begin his new workout. |

+ | At the treedome, SpongeBob is put through a progressively intense series of warm-up exercises from push-ups to boxing to running on a giant hamster wheel, each resulting in his arms separating from his body. Sandy now takes the less than enthusiastic sponge to the "arm cruncher," to which the sight of the contraption drives SpongeBob away, only leaving a phone in Sandy's grasp. Back home, SpongeBob is despondent and in pain at how difficult working out actually is until a voice addresses him from the TV, calling him a wimp. It is a commercial for the [[Anchor Arms]], a set of inflatable muscle balloons with options ranging from normal to "veiny," and "for the ladies... hairy!," with the shark demonstrating its uses. Gary meows skeptically, but SpongeBob is interested and goes to buy some. |

+ | Later, while wearing the Anchor Arms, SpongeBob heads towards [[Mussel Beach]], freaking out everyone else along the way. Once he gets there, everyone is awestruck by "MuscleBob BuffPants," and follows him to the [[Juice Bar]]. Sandy comes along asking where SpongeBob is and finds him surrounded by his new fans. A short moment where SpongeBob cannot move his drink reveals the downside of his Anchor Arms: because the "muscles" are just air inside an arm-shaped balloon, he is still a weakling, but manages to avoid detection by sipping the straw from a distance. Sandy is naturally confused as to how he managed to gain muscles so quickly, to which SpongeBob replies that he found his own secret workout. Intrigued, Sandy asks what the secret was; putting SpongeBob on the spot as everyone else also wants to know. |

+ | SpongeBob manages to fool them by claiming armpit farts are his secret workout, pushing aside skepticism by pointing out the results. Everyone else promptly begins armpit farting, while Sandy congratulates SpongeBob for finally finding a workout that works for him. To SpongeBob's surprise, she then suggests he needed to put those muscles to the test, and it just so happens the [[Anchor Toss]] Competition is today. Completely caught off guard, SpongeBob doesn't notice a drink being placed on top of his Anchor Arms and tries to tell Sandy he is not interested, but she decides to go sign them up anyway. Scared of being exposed, he tries to stop her but finds himself pressured down by the drink. The panicking SpongeBob finally catches up to Sandy after the waiter takes the drink off of his hand, sending him flying into the pole next to her. Unfortunately, Sandy has already signed them up, and there's no turning back. |
− | At the Anchor Toss, everyone is preparing themselves, except for the worried and unsure SpongeBob. He nervously says he is ready when Sandy comes by to check, but quickly begins inflating more into his Anchor Arms in desperation when she turns away. Perch Perkins announces the start of the 8th Annual Anchor Toss Competition, with Don the Whale making the first toss. His anchor lands at 200 yards, with an "instant replay" crushing the helpless measurer. Next up is Larry the Lobster; the measurer, not wanting to be crushed again, tries to run out of firing range, but the anchor tracks him and crushes him at 210 yards. Sandy is up next |

Next up is Larry the Lobster; the measurer, not wanting to be crushed again, tries to run out of firing range, but the anchor tracks him and crushes him at 210 yards. Sandy is up next and launches her anchor with her signature karate kick; the measurer desperately tries to outrun the anchor but is hit at 510 yards, putting Sandy in the lead. |

+ | It's finally SpongeBob's turn, with the crowd chanting his name as they do his armpit farting workout. SpongeBob tries to lift the anchor, but only manages to pull it on top of himself. He manages to pass it off as a joke but knows that he can't keep the charade up; he is going to be exposed as a phony. However, he decides he has to try anyway and blows his arms up to the "jerk" size, apparently breaking them. He puts all of his might into lifting the anchor, but all it does is push the air into various parts of his body and eventually the Anchor Arms explode out of overinflation, revealing SpongeBob to be a fraud. Upon realizing this, the crowd exclaims that he lost and start cheering for Sandy, since she won. Sandy herself is very angry and disappointed in SpongeBob for lying to everyone, tapping her foot incessantly; SpongeBob gets the hint, realizing he never should've taken the easy way out of exercising as there's no substitute for hard work and trudges after her. |
+ | |||
+ | The episode ends back at the treedome, as SpongeBob's new exercise is changing the TV channel 100 times with his thumb, much to his discomfort. Sandy figures they have finally found an exercise that works for him right before SpongeBob's arm falls off again and he asks if she can pick it up. Sandy seems to just sit there closing out the episode. |

Synopsis
SpongeBob starts his day off by posing in front of a mirror as he gets ready to make himself "large and wide." He goes to his stuffed animal barbell weights, and with great effort manages to lift them over his head before falling to the side. Just then, Sandy comes inside, and SpongeBob shows off his stick arm "muscles," bragging about his "state of the art weight set." However, Sandy bluntly tells him that he is not going to gain any muscle mass lifting those. She then shows him her arms and asks if he wants arms like them. He then decides he could use some help and Sandy recommends he starts using her own personal training program. SpongeBob is ecstatic, imagining himself being big and muscular in various situations - flipping Krabby Patties, jellyfishing and sleeping - with a bodybuilder's physique and agrees to come to Sandy's treedome at 5 AM to begin his new workout.
At the treedome, SpongeBob is put through a progressively intense series of warm-up exercises from push-ups to boxing to running on a giant hamster wheel, each resulting in his arms separating from his body. Sandy now takes the less than enthusiastic sponge to the "arm cruncher," to which the sight of the contraption drives SpongeBob away, only leaving a phone in Sandy's grasp. Back home, SpongeBob is despondent and in pain at how difficult working out actually is until a voice addresses him from the TV, calling him a wimp. It is a commercial for the Anchor Arms, a set of inflatable muscle balloons with options ranging from normal to "veiny," and "for the ladies... hairy!," with the shark demonstrating its uses. Gary meows skeptically, but SpongeBob is interested and goes to buy some.
Later, while wearing the Anchor Arms, SpongeBob heads towards Mussel Beach, freaking out everyone else along the way. Once he gets there, everyone is awestruck by "MuscleBob BuffPants," and follows him to the Juice Bar. Sandy comes along asking where SpongeBob is and finds him surrounded by his new fans. A short moment where SpongeBob cannot move his drink reveals the downside of his Anchor Arms: because the "muscles" are just air inside an arm-shaped balloon, he is still a weakling, but manages to avoid detection by sipping the straw from a distance. Sandy is naturally confused as to how he managed to gain muscles so quickly, to which SpongeBob replies that he found his own secret workout. Intrigued, Sandy asks what the secret was; putting SpongeBob on the spot as everyone else also wants to know.
SpongeBob manages to fool them by claiming armpit farts are his secret workout, pushing aside skepticism by pointing out the results. Everyone else promptly begins armpit farting, while Sandy congratulates SpongeBob for finally finding a workout that works for him. To SpongeBob's surprise, she then suggests he needed to put those muscles to the test, and it just so happens the Anchor Toss Competition is today. Completely caught off guard, SpongeBob doesn't notice a drink being placed on top of his Anchor Arms and tries to tell Sandy he is not interested, but she decides to go sign them up anyway. Scared of being exposed, he tries to stop her but finds himself pressured down by the drink. The panicking SpongeBob finally catches up to Sandy after the waiter takes the drink off of his hand, sending him flying into the pole next to her. Unfortunately, Sandy has already signed them up, and there's no turning back.
At the Anchor Toss, everyone is preparing themselves, except for the worried and unsure SpongeBob. He nervously says he is ready when Sandy comes by to check, but quickly begins inflating more into his Anchor Arms in desperation when she turns away. Perch Perkins announces the start of the 8th Annual Anchor Toss Competition, with Don the Whale making the first toss. His anchor lands at 200 yards, with an "instant replay" crushing the helpless measurer. Next up is Larry the Lobster; the measurer, not wanting to be crushed again, tries to run out of firing range, but the anchor tracks him and crushes him at 210 yards. Sandy is up next and launches her anchor with her signature karate kick; the measurer desperately tries to outrun the anchor but is hit at 510 yards, putting Sandy in the lead.
It's finally SpongeBob's turn, with the crowd chanting his name as they do his armpit farting workout. SpongeBob tries to lift the anchor, but only manages to pull it on top of himself. He manages to pass it off as a joke but knows that he can't keep the charade up; he is going to be exposed as a phony. However, he decides he has to try anyway and blows his arms up to the "jerk" size, apparently breaking them. He puts all of his might into lifting the anchor, but all it does is push the air into various parts of his body and eventually the Anchor Arms explode out of overinflation, revealing SpongeBob to be a fraud. Upon realizing this, the crowd exclaims that he lost and start cheering for Sandy, since she won. Sandy herself is very angry and disappointed in SpongeBob for lying to everyone, tapping her foot incessantly; SpongeBob gets the hint, realizing he never should've taken the easy way out of exercising as there's no substitute for hard work and trudges after her.
The episode ends back at the treedome, as SpongeBob's new exercise is changing the TV channel 100 times with his thumb, much to his discomfort. Sandy figures they have finally found an exercise that works for him right before SpongeBob's arm falls off again and he asks if she can pick it up. Sandy seems to just sit there closing out the episode.

Trivia
General
- According to production art, this episode had the working title of "Pump It Up" in production.
- The shark in the commercial for Anchor Arms breaks the fourth wall when he says "Hey, hey you!" in the first part of the commercial. This means he was talking to the people who were watching the TV, but also to SpongeBob.
- This is the first episode for a few things:
- The first episode to reveal Sandy Cheeks' last name.
- The first episode to use the track "Pell-Mell."
- The first episode where SpongeBob says, "This squirrel is trying to kill me." The second is "Prehibernation Week."
- The billboard sign with beachgoers working out reads "Mussel Beach" instead of "Muscle Beach." This is a reference to the tiny shell-covered creatures commonly found on beaches.
- Tiny Tim is referenced in this episode when SpongeBob says "Who were you expecting, Tiny Tim?" He is the singer of "Livin' in the Sunlight, Lovin' in the Moonlight," which was used in "Help Wanted."
- During a rerun of this episode (which aired as a part of March Toon Mania), the narrator erroneously claims this segment as "The Chaperone."[4]
- The Juice Bar in this episode is later seen in the video games Battle for Bikini Bottom and Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated in the Goo Lagoon area. It is also seen in Lights, Camera, Pants!, SpongeBob's Truth or Square (PSP version), SpongeBob Moves In!, SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off, and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix.
- Anchor Toss scores:
- Sandy Cheeks: 510 yards (466.344 meters) (winner)
- Larry the Lobster: 210 yards (192.024 meters) (second place)
- Don the Whale: 200 yards (182.88 meters) (third place)
- SpongeBob SquarePants: 0 yards (000.000 meters) (loser/disqualified)
- Larry's grunt while tossing the anchor was portrayed by Bill Fagerbakke instead of Doug Lawrence, his usual voice actor.[citation needed]
- Frank is another competitor in the Anchor Throwing Contest, but does not get a chance to throw his anchor.
- Sandy technically didn't throw her anchor like the others; she just threw it in the air and kicked it when it came back down so her throw would have resulted in a disqualification.
- In the scene where the Anchor Arms blow up, they are then deflating in a similar manner as a rubber balloon: floating randomly as they lose air and making a characteristic noise.
- SpongeBob makes a confused face in the bar that looks similar to SpongeTron's face.
- Sandy seemed to have won the contest, beating Larry. However, in "Ripped Pants," Larry seems to be stronger than Sandy with weight lifting.
- The Anchor Arms are later used by the SpongeBot SteelPants in the 2003 video game Battle for Bikini Bottom and the 2020 video game Battle for Bikini Bottom: Rehydrated after it is defeated by the player and before SpongeBob enters its head.
- The plot of this episode is similar to that of "Ripped Pants." In both episodes:
- Both episodes take place at Goo Lagoon.
- SpongeBob tries to do something to impress Sandy.
- Everyone starts liking him.
- A mistake happens that leaves SpongeBob exposed and not loved anymore.
- NOTE: Unlike in "Ripped Pants", where everyone gets disgusted with SpongeBob after he's exposed, here, only Sandy is disgusted.
- The ending reveals Sandy likes SpongeBob just the way he is.
- According to The Ultimate SpongeBob SpongeBash, Jerry Trainor ranked this episode as his favorite.
- Some clips of this episode are shown in the 2008 film, Cloverfield.
- Scooter mentions the episode's title when he says, "You mean MuscleBob BuffPants? He's in there."
- During the SpongeBob vs. The Goo marathon, this episode was paired up with "Ripped Pants."[5]
- On Amazon Prime Video, this episode, along with its sister episode, is locked on a child's account. The only way to watch it is for a parent to put a PIN in. [citation needed]
- SpongeBob's muscle arms from this episode appears in SpongeBob Simulator on Plankton's Power-Ups but was later removed but they are also on the Deluxe Lifter SpongeBob pet.
