Perhaps their training to become a master is simply a small fragment of their life, and they very well may live in solitude for the majority of their lives.

I do wonder if there are some male viera that choose not to live in solitude. By completing the rite of passage, they are given permission to seek solitude, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's what all of them choose to do, is it? Maybe there are some male viera that prefer to remain in the groups they trained with or something?

As for your question, I do think male viera would have muscle, but I don't think they would be super buff. I've pointed at minafumi's artwork before as an example for how they might look. There's still muscle, and they are toned, but they are also very slim. Hmm.. if we're going by comic book heroes, I think spiderman would be a good comparison.
Actually this is the character Matsuno referred to when hinting at the body weight and muscle mass to Minafumi.
Some people here(you know who you are) are constantly referencing more bulky characters, but really, start arguing with me when you learn Japanese.
This is Toru Rikiishi from Ashita no Joe. Matsuno specifically said "his proportions before the rematch with Joe where he was at his lightest".
