How much can a gorilla bench press?

I thought someone on the Anabolic Board said 4,000 pounds. Does anyone know? My friends and I were having this discussion tonight after our basketball game. Men only talk about important things.

I say their biomechanics would not be suited to the bench press. I promise you there is no footage of a 4000 pound bench press.

It sounds feasible though. I would think they are probably 10 times as strong as the average man. Have you seen them up close? Huge arms and hands.
 
The average man who does not lift weights probably has a bench press of less than 150 pounds. Ten times that = 1500 pounds which I find almost feasible.

If you trained a gorilla to work at the bench press, maybe hebreaks 2000. Maybe.
 
Type in Gorilla benchpressing in your search engine. I just saw the article that said a Gorilla has the strength equivalent to bp 4,000 pds. and that they are 40 times as strong as the average man. I didn't see any research to back up the claim though.

There is a plethora of claims of animals having unworldly strenght. Man is the most amzing animal and a healthy one holds his own strenght wise. Shoot....my dog is plumb worn out after walking a mere 10 miles.

Personally, I don't believe animals to have a neuromuscular efficiency more than 2 times that of a very strong man.
 
Gorilla's BS about how much they can bench all the time... but their lifts are never qualifed by judges on the competition platform. They always try to use their feet and dumb ass shit like that.

Your EF search engine will show that I claim to wear a 14" Michelin tire as a cock ring. Doesn't necessarily make it true. Sorry to disappoint AAP et al.

You can't let President Bush outbench you. I read that he does 185.

That's what I thought at first, then I seen a post last night where she quoted you and then said something like "very correct as usual sofageorge"
i think she is seriously on your stick dude
 
I saw a steer flip over a car one time, so I wouldn't dought a gorilla being strong as hell.

I read that he benches 200 or 205 actually dude.

And I work about a block from where he lives so that makes me right.

Don't know about Gorilla but the Pope looks like a perfect deadlifter. :D Vince Anello of Vatican...
 
Little 95lb chimps can pick up 200+lb men and throw them out of a wrestling ring. Can seriously maul even some of the strongest humans. (seen this on TV)

I have also heard of studies done that Gorillas can one arm pull 600lbs- done to get food in experements. The female gorrilla generally had the larger pulls.

I would imagine that they could reach 800+ lbs pretty easy. Of course they might be able to reach 1500lbs if they lifted regulary and ate a good diet. ;)
 
This was actually on Animal Planet's Most Extreme show once. It was the top ten strongest animals for their size.

I can't remember exactly how strong they claimed, but they took the biggest gorillas (Silverback) and it was unreal how strong they were.

They said a gorilla could easily shoulder press a bar with a car on each side. No joking.

I guess a gorilla could give MassiveGunz a run for his money....
 
Ronnie Colemen looks like a gorilla.

We should all pool some money together, but a really big gorila, and put him to the test.

Dont let it live with beastboy though... he'll violate that poor primate 7 ways from sunday.

i seen a gorilla cable pull 2700 lbs with no effort.

your right, the show I watched with the study was with chimps. A female chimp one arm pulled 647lbs or some such. (600 something) Gorrillas are much stronger
 
the mountain gorriallas in the foot hills of Zambia, Mala Mala, and Cameroon are 30 times stronger then an average human...
 
Actually the mountain gorillas in the foothills of Zambia, are 1,258 times stronger then an average human.

I made some preliminary calculations and have determined that a juiced gorilla would able to jump to the moon.
 
I have trained with gorillas before, and they're really not that strong. Don't know why this thread is going nuts. They're also lazy fucks and never puts their dbs back up in the rack.

yeah, and those fuckers never do squats or deads....they only bench and curl....
 
Good thread. I was just at the zoo with bitch about 5 weeks ago and visited the gorilla exhibit. One came right up to the window and we just sat there and stared at each other. I have to say at least 3,000 if trained. I think a few bad ass humanoids need to step into the ring and get their attitudes adjusted. What a fucking joke that would be. Humans think there so bad, yet we are so vulnerable. A lot less than a fucking ape could kill us that is for sure.

None of us could even kill a healthy badger with our bare hands.
 
they lack the opposable thumb....therefore the grip would be incorrect, and the lift wouldnt count. damn... they may be 40 times stronger than the average man but at least we can rub one out if we want to.

Gorillas rock. I heard they can single hand lateral raise more than their bodyweight with great ease.

I think theres this faces of death video out where this gorilla rips a man to shreds.

the physics of gorilla anatomy are better. the formula of force * arm

causes the great difference. their muscles are attached differently, at the almost ideal angles
 
notice how long their arms are though. bad for bench press

now what I'd really like to do is get one under a squat bar


also imagine how much they could deadlift!!!!!!!!!

ROM would be like 3" if that

silverbacks eat their own excrement

they spend the day eating enormous amounts of bark, leaves, roots and other fibrous items. they litter the jungle with enormous green logs. i have seen several documentaries on gorillas on discovery et al and every one of them has footage of the gorilla catching a log as it emerges and then hastily consuming the homeade fecal treat. im sure this topic has been on the board before, but perhaps the quantity of nitrogen, methoxy and hmb in the silverback logs acounts for the strength of these primates. maybe silverback logs could be the next hot supplement? toilet mint would be a good initial flavor.

When I was in anth class one time, we were talking about primates, and how baby gorilas and chimps interact with thier mothers but both often get scared or defensive when males come around. However, when human researchers (usually caucasian) come around the females and babies are fine.

I wanna know what would happen if a Ronnie Coleman in dark/fleshy colored posing trunks were put in a room with a baby gorilla. I wonder if he would be accepted faster into a family of gorillas than a skinny white scientist like Jane Goodall.

Ronnie Coleman is the only man I can see holding his own against a Gorilla, provided they are both the same weight.

I'd like to see him battle a Silverback Gorilla of the same size and weight to see how shit goes down.....
