"So" is used at the end of the sentence as a way of trailing off when you don't have anything else to say. Chandler didn't know what else to say after commenting about how strong Monica is, so he used "so" as a way to end the sentence. This is quite common in English. Ex: I tried to help him, but he didn't want it, so. Ex: We went to the office to see if he was there but we couldn't find him, so. Ex: I want to go, but I have to babysit, so.
