Super human disease?

Question

I just read about a condition called "Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy". Apparently, Myostatin is a protein that breaks down muscles. When a person has a deficiency in Myostatin production, they exhibit a ridiculous amount of strength and muscle mass, up to 40% more than a normal human being. One example is 19 month-old Liam Hoekstra, who has thigh muscles reminiscent of Lance Armstrong, and performed his first iron cross at 5 months. What i'm wondering is if this condition makes person super strong, would it be so far-fetched to think that historical figures such as Hercules and Sampson had this genetic mutation? Surely anyone with super strength in that time period would have become legendary?
