Not sure if the "upper attributes" make any difference. Bracing against the body will give stability, it's just that there's different bits to brace against. I'd agree that being left handed is likely to help and if we're talking big heavy lenses then I dare say that stronger people (either gender) will be at an advantage.
With my weak and feeble arms, I'm ever so glad I have a monopod for my big lens.

P.S. Just about to hit the "Post" button and thought of a business opportunity. You can get gadgets for just about any aspect of photography, why not design and market a "photographer's bra", specially shaped to allow superior bracing. Deluxe model with extended bracket and 1/4" tripod thread built in?
