I can't answer that but it is certainly X chromosome linkage that is one thing of importance.

Currently, the best understood the mechanisms of sex related differences in skeletal muscle are due to hormone levels (Testosterone, Estrogen et al.) which promote differential gene expression.

Outside of specific genetic mutations related to muscle pathologies, I'm not aware of sequence data showing discrete differences at the DNA level that can explain gender difference in muscles, although there could be. The analysis of genomic information lags the genomic data generated from sequencing.
