Traditionally Aries, Leo, Taurus, and Scorpio are seen as the physically muscular Ascendant to have and are the top dogs as far as physical prowress is concerned.However what constitute "muscular" has various meanings and there are different sub branches of muscular.
In fact this question I asked shows the various subsets of "Muscular".

I am also aware life style affects how muscular one is. An Aries Riser who is a Boxer would have much stronger upper body build than a Leo Riser who's a track runner and appear more muscular.
But I'm assuming based on traditional descriptions 
.
Here is my take.
Aries Rising-tends to be towards the Athletic type of muscular. Not visibly seen with big viewable muscles but you can see toned legs and arms. Most capable of various Athletic abiliies from pole jump to hurdle jump, to swimming.
But not as much physical brute strength as oher type of muscular. However makes it up with lots of stamina for strenerous activities like running a marathon,steeplechase,etc. Can adapt easilyt to a variety of sports.
Taurus Rising-tends to be large and bulky muscular. WTF strong but stereotypically Arnold Schwarzenneger body.The stereotype is slow as a result of being so muscular. But has the most stamina for a pure contest of brute strength and lasts the most blows physically.
Leo Rising-Boxer's build. Strong upperbody thats really muscular and like Boxers also fit for athletics. But more emphasize on upper body and stereotypically Leo Rising is not the type for pole vaulting, steeplechase, climbing,etc that Aries Rising is.
Scorpio Rising-Jack of all trades.Has lots of stamina and quite athletic like Aries Rising. Howeve crr also obviously muscular just like Leo Rising is and stereotypically they can have an upperbody as muscular as a boxer's build (except more even proportion to the legs and lower body strength as opposed to Leo Rising being upper body concentrated). However lots of strong staying power and brute strength and lots terms of enduring physical blows and weariness from continuos vigorous exercise like Taurus Rising.
Basically has the easiest potential of reaching various different type of athleticism and assuming all things equal in training and nutrition, would score high in general athletic stats (but not being the best unless the individual specifically decides to specialize in a certain area of strength).
So by stereotype visibly muscular but also strong in different athletics from rope climbing to gymnastics with lots of staying power. But not the strongest in any of these traditionally.
What do you think? I based the above descriptions on various stuff I seen on the internet.
I can be wrong but thats the conclusion I seen and people who I knew IRL who are the athletic conditioned types tended to fit the above stereotypes as far as Rising Signs are concerned. The most versatile athletes I knew either had Aries Rising or were Aries dominant. They had pretty good records for running, pole vault, swimming, and are often involved in a several different sports that require different exertion of muscles.
The Taurus Rising I know IRl, while a lot suited for athletics than the stereotype (Saggie influence), is overall strongest in brute strength and ability to overpower other conditioned people with ease.
The Leo Rising I know are muscular upperbody and often make great athletes in strength concerning upperbody anaerobic sports like boxing, Tug of war, canoing,etc.
The Scorpio Rising I met who are athletic have a balance of the different types of strengths mentioned though not on the level of the above.
Of course as I mentioned different lifestyle an individual live can modify heavily-an Aries Riser who isn't into sports will probably be at best have more stamina than the average Joe. A Scorpio Riser who does weight lifting can become as bulky as the stereotypical Taurus Riser and so forth.
Whats your opinion on the types of muscular for the traditional physical powerhouses of the Signs?

But it's half and half too. Earth signs can be very physically oriented and excel or they can just not care about it and focus on else things. Fire is second, but are more notable, especially in (team) sports.
