Which human would have more muscles? Rainbow dash or Applejack?

[leonbrony17 1,216]

Rainbow dash from her training?

 

Or applejack from the hard work everyday?

[Steve Piranha 29,424]

Dashie is more of a speed-type athlete. AJ works hard, so I bet she'll be the one getting more raw muscles 

[Red Cedar 1,408]

Dash is a sprinter. She'd be lean and toned but in no way as built as the picture above. Applejack has strength. She'd be bulkier overall.

[Ganondorf8 11,310]

Applejack has the strength given what she displayed during Legend of Everfree not to mention she lives on a farm. Working in one definitely requires having strength in order to handle some of the more intense chores. Rainbow Dash is athletic so she is more toned than muscular.

[Jeric 46,851]

Rainbow Dash. Applejack is more prone to working before her recovery period is complete resulting in inefficient restoration.

[Mortar 143]

Overall, I'd go with Applejack.  RD would have good upper-body strength, due to her wings, but AJ would be muscular throughout her body, particularly her legs, due to all the apple bucking, hauling, etc.

[AaronMk 280]

I imagine Rainbow Dash as being more an endurance athlete like a marathon runner, where-as Applejack's physical capabilities would fall more in line with what'd you'd expect in individuals like construction workers or demo crews; a lot of lifting and stuff, but not necessarily for long length of time.

 

On a short sprint the two may as well be matched. But translating athletic endurance flight to a human body suggests to me Rainbow Dash would have a leaner, more efficient muscle build. She'd be smaller, but can go further and longer than Applejack who'd have more muscle.

 

So AJ.

[Miss 6,229]

I would definitely say Applejack would have bigger leg muscles but maybe arm muscles would be Rainbow Dash she's a black belt and beat Applejack in arm wrestling (but you know could mean her triceps are just bigger)

 

But overall Applejack would have bigger muscles. However, if Rainbow dash's wing muscles somehow converted to her muscles as a human then Rainbow Dash would definitely be way stronger and have bigger muscles (wings ups, carrying giant statues (best night ever), etc.

 

Also if the military training in the woNDERBOLTS is anything like actual military then you know Dash is going to be stronger. Farm work is tough but I hardly see any swole/buff farm workers.

I Have noticed a trend in fan pix making AJ like a body builder type, seems quite popular.

Applejack. Doing work on the farm can build up quite some muscle.

[GrimGrimoire 4,973]

Applejack. RD is quite the athlete and could outperform AJ in a lot of areas, but I think when it comes to overall muscle and strength, AJ has her beat.

[TBD 17,254]

Applejack would have more muscle since she work everyday hours and hours.  while who knows how much time RD  spend on her exercise compared to her nap time.

Big Mac.

 

Eeyup.

 

'Nuff said.

[Fixedys 501]

I imagine Applejack to be the bulkier one of the pair because of how much she works on the farm all day. Rainbow Dash I say would be the one with more endurance.

[poniesrfun 469]

Applejack for sure as she works hard and pulls carts most of the time ,so she builds her muscles up

[RaccoonXD 0]

A wing is “an organ of propulsion and not of manipulation. It should therefore be regarded as a leg.” ~ Animal farm, George Orwell

Technically speaking RD’s wings would be  legs, thus both RD and AJ would be training their legs

So AJ.

Closest equivalent to a speedy Pegasus would probably be an Olympic swimmer. "Aero" dynamics is very important to both.

Also it brings up an interesting question though, where does your wing power end up if you step into E.G. world? Ponies have two sets of legs which would logically conform to upper and lower body strength, arms and legs. So what about the wings?

As a marathon runner though, I don't know. Dash actually said she's not good with endurance, that she's more of a sprinter.

[CypherHoof 26,483]

Assuming parity between worlds of course - but one plot point in /mare do well/ was that AJ was stronger than Dashie (as is Maud, of course)

[RDDash 19,180]

Applejack probably, Rainbow would be more flexible without turning into musclehead

[DonMaguz 1,023]

AJ probably has a stronger core and shoulders, Rainbow Dash bigger thighs and biceps.

[derpyluver 109]

rainbow dash.........

[Misty Shadow 7,871]

Fall Weather Friends implied that Applejack has stronger back leg strength and that Rainbow Dash has stronger foreleg strength. I think they'd both be evenly matched as humans too.

[Dreambiscuit 9,691]

AJ has the most strength because of her constant work on the farm. That would really strengthen her up. Rainbow is sleek and has a different type of muscle, like a swimmer compared to a weightlifter. She has strength in her wings and shoulders but I doubt she'd be as sturdy as AJ overall.

[Fluttershutter 2,457]

If they were both humans they would have the same number of muscles. If Rainbow Dash had wings she'd have more. 

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I think Applejack would have more muscles while Rainbow Dash would be faster.
