"Female Orcs are exceptionally rare, but those who have met one claim them to be a lot stronger, quicker and smarter than their male counterparts. They also seem to be noticeably taller, although that might just be a result of them not assuming the hunched posture commonly associated with their species..."

Orcs might be iconic, but they still are one of those sadly underestimated fantasy species.

On an unrelated note, I actually used to draw (moderate) muscle fairly often back in the olden days.
