It's at least an interesting idea. Here's why; apes are ridiculously stronger than humans. A lot of that has to do with muscle attachment. Ape muscles are attached further from the joint, increasing leverage. Human muscles are attached closer to the joint. That makes us weaker- but it also gives us much better dexterity than apes of similar size. Same system, different trade-offs. So there's precedent, after a fashion.
