Not entirely. In any of the throwing events, your form, speed, and technique play huge roles in your distance. You can have the biggest arms in your school, but if you can't pick up enough speed and your form is all wrong, you won't get too far. You might be able to reach 80 feet with just your muscles, but people with good technique and speed reach over 100 feet, and they can be the smallest, skinniest one on the team. So, no. Discus (along with the other throwing events) is not a muscular power event.
