Your real best bet though is to be born Samoan
Let's take a list of all Samoans I have ever seen:
The Rock (very muscular)
Rakishi (fairly strong, intentionally obese)
Samoa Joe (reasonably muscular)
Umaga (HOLY SHIT IT'S A MONSTER!)
I think you may be onto something there...
*I am not responsible if your testicles shrivel and fall off.
I hear that it's only temporary shrinkage, although I haven't really put much research into it. Seeing as I can think of at least two reasons why it doesn't affect me. Three if we include the fact that I don't use 'roids.

Is there some odd reason that all these people are wrestlers? That's really frigging hilarious to me.
I shall now tell you of the most famous of Samoans He was not a wrestler. in fact, he wasn't even Samoan. he was just accused of being Samoan by Hunter S Thompson.
Dr. Gonzo. He was famous for his Samoan member. he wasn't a wrestler though. He was also just accused of being 300 lbs though. You might be onto something still. >=D

And the reason all the ones I list are Samoan is simple: they're advertised as being Samoan ("Oh my god, Umaga just nailed Austin with the Samoan Spike!"), and it seems a lot of them decided to go into wrestling, what with nature deciding to give them bodies designed for breaking people in half.
It's said that the Space Sharks* chapter of Space Marines should all be Samoan, with sharpened teeth. That'd actually be kind of cool. And they're just about big and strong enough without the gene enhancement and all that.
*Officially listed, canon etc. Yes, I know it sounds like a ridiculous fan-made one. But the Rainbow Warriors were also canon, so...

You don't have testicles (I think), but what's ... the third, if you can say?

Wow, at the moment I'm not even taking corticosteroids! There are usually a few times per year that I need to, generally for eye-related issues, but right now, I'm steroid-free!
And yeah, corticosteroids work differently, so I doubt taking masses of cortisone or eye drops will help you bulk out.
Yeah, Dr. Gonzo is where I first heard of the Samoan stereotype. Turns out he was actually Mexican.
Still, you have to imagine that the Polynesians that made those fucking epic trips on small planks of wood across the entire fucking Pacific had to be either pretty hardcore or shark food.

Liar. Everyone knows that it was hardworking Christian white people that discovered America even though there were already advanced cultures and civilizations here.

In short, your entire post is dismissive of not merely my intelligence, but my agency. And I don't mean agency as a player within one of your games, I mean my agency as a person. You do not want me to be informed when I make the fundamental decisions of deciding whether to join your game or buying your rules system.
This is when I write a god-damned long rant about reading good books but I know you and others on the board read good books and I've stopped writing stupid rants a long time ago. So I'll just give you two links.
