I don't know if Abe is actually stronger than he used to be, although all that pulling up ledges would presumably have helped puff up the muscles. I have noticed that Abe is a lot more padded out, though. Either he went through Mudokon puberty and grew outwards a bit or he's been able to eat a lot after his days of malnutrition in RuptureFarms slavery.
Abe will always keep his feathers in a ponytail, though, because it's a symbol of what he used to be and what the Mudokons are fighting again, and also a grim reminder of what will happen should he fail his duty to Oddworld.
