There is a good "Behind the Bastards" episode about this event.

Also the Chagossian man in the Wikipedia article is incredibly jacked. I am assuming that physique is just from physical labor but holy cow.

He's probably 5'4" - 5'8" (and standing alone) which helps significantly.

Even if he is small, his muscle definition is very impressive. It's pretty cool that you can have that physique from regular physical labor.
