Definitely a little but probably not as much as you'd think.

Humans produce a protein that forcibly limits our muscle growth and its impact is kinda crazy. Gorillas produce a bit of it too, but it's a drastically lower amount. It's called myostatin if I remember right, there is a dog that sometimes has a mutation where they barely produce it too and the differences between a regular one and a mutated one is pretty extreme. Look into 'Bully Whippets' if you want some interesting reads.

I've seen photos of super muscular cattle, it's crazy to the point that cows have difficulty birthing calves.

If this web search leads me to some fetish site I'm gonna get mad at you. Or a bit horny, depends on the kink I guess.
