>Bauman managed to rig his device outside the cage, feeding in a rope for the apes to work on. Then, amazingly, one of the Bronx chimpanzees—a former circus ape named Suzette—managed to pull 1,260 pounds. >Bauman took his study on the road, attempting tests at the Philadelphia Zoo and making inquiries as far afield as Chicago and Cincinnati. In 1926, he returned to the Bronx Zoo, successfully testing the largest chimpanzee then in captivity. That animal, named Boma, pulled 847 pounds one-handed.
> In tests at the Bronx Zoo in 1924, a dynamometer — a scale that measures the mechanical force of a pull on a spring — was erected in the monkey house. A 165-pound male chimpanzee named “Boma” registered a pull of 847 pounds, using only his right hand (although he did have his feet braced against the wall, being somewhat hip, in his simian way, to the principles of leverage). A 165-pound man, by comparison, could manage a one-handed pull of about 210 pounds. Even more frightening, a female chimp, weighing a mere 135 pounds and going by the name of Suzette, checked in with a one-handed pull of 1,260 pounds. (She was in a fit of passion at the time; one shudders to think what her boyfriend must have looked like next morning.) In dead lifts, chimps have been known to manage weights of 600 pounds without even breaking into a sweat. A male gorilla could probably heft an 1,800-pound weight and not think twice about it.
Imagine getting ripped to shreds by a pack of pissed off chimps.

>Hey Jamie pull that up
Landon Reed
Humans have lots of motor units (nerve + muscle) that are used sequentially for each separate contraction (first rep will use first set of motor units, second rep will use the next group of motor units, and so on). Chimps and apes can use all of those motor units all at once. This gives humans greater endurance, but pound-for-pound a chimp will rape your fucking face.
William Fisher
imagine an ape on steroids and given a compound lifting routine (Bench, military press, dead-lifts etc..)
i mean apes already make "strong men" look like gigantic vaginas.
Nathan Myers
That stuffs outdated, recently done tests put chimps in a range were they are pound for pound about twice as strong as a man
Maybe or chimps, silver back gorillas are still 5-7 times stronger then your average man and nothing but pure dense muscle.
Kayden Cooper
Chimps are still strong as fuck
>A chimpanzee had, pound for pound, as much as twice the strength of a human when it came to pulling weights. The apes beat us in leg strength, too, despite our reliance on our legs for locomotion. A 2006 study found that bonobos can jump one-third higher than top-level human athletes, and bonobo legs generate as much force as humans nearly two times heavier.
Dominic Miller
Chimpanzees have been seen regularly tossing around 600lb objects like you or I would scoot a chair around. I once heard an estimate that a gorilla that had trained and eaten right could very probably do 2000 pounds.

eat a lot more till ur tum tum gonna bust, then climb shit and trow down shit

Why are we so weak even if we train? And don't say its because of our mostly sedentary lifestyle because I don't think humans thousands of years ago were comparably strong. What evolutionary process made chimps so much stronger?
Leo Morales
you can never be as strong as them, the way they're built down to their muscle ligaments work and stretch in a different way than a human beings ever could without genetic modification
Juan Adams
We developed means of consuming energy that weren't so heavily reliant on pure physical strength.
Our species simply doesn't have the potential for strength that we did at the time of our most recent common ancestor with chimps and the great apes. Our evolutionary course has taken us a different direction.
Shorter rom. Their bench numbers are really good because their stumpy arms don't have to press the weight as far but their deadlift numbers are usually shit because they have to pull it further than the average guy.
Justin King
Evolution was a mistake.
Kayden Johnson
But they have less leverage?
Angel Gray
>And don't say its because of our mostly sedentary lifestyle because I don't think humans thousands of years ago were comparably strong. Don't be so sure. Lots of feats have been recorded from ancient times and they'd blow your mind, boy.
Colton Powell
Humans split in function. Apes can do lift more yes, but we can be in action way longer.
Neolithic man used to hunt by simply walking after prey and waiting for it to fall from exhaustion, and because human minds are better suited to abstraction, reflection, ect, humans could interpret what prey tracks ment, and have a picture in their head of the surrounding terrain allowing them to strategise and predict where their prey was.
Humans are to animals what the monster from it Follows are to teenagers

I don't see Gorillas putting humans in Zoo's.
Jack Jones
>Neolithic man used to hunt by simply walking after prey and waiting for it to fall from exhaustion More like run after it for hours and hours, and we could do that because we swear and animals need to lay down to cool down
black people are so far removed from apes, they are really not very different from white people
most of the theory surrounding these ideas were made by inference by 19th century "scientists" (who did make good work to progress from but they were retarded)

every 2 god damn days i have to explain this. theyre fucking retarded. theyre pea brains use very little caloric energy. a lot more for muscles plus mechanical advantage from being small. thats it. we’re just designed differently. NOW FUCK OFF FAGGOTS
