How much could a gorilla deadlift ?

they would end up with body dismorphia like 99% of fit and brownsing this taiwanese forum instead of lifting

It's all science and mathematics, my friends. Let's just think about it logically. A gorilla is certainly strong, but primarily in movements that are natural to its adaptations. I like the GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORD'S 1985 edition estimate that a STRONG and healthy AVERAGE silverback gorilla could probably deadlift about 2 times that of the world's strongest man (if it were trained). The scientists used actual performance of chimpanzees in specific movements to estimate that an average highly trained (500 lb.) silverback gorilla might deadlift 1,800 lbs whereas the world's strongest men might deadlift 900 lbs. An average man might deadlift 200 lbs.

No other research to date has been based on as much hard evidence. Even so, these estimates are very rough.

Case in point: This evidence indicates that an average 500 lb. silverback gorilla MIGHT be 9 times stronger than an average man and 2 times stronger than the world's strongest man (but only in movements that it excels at).

The estimates used by shows on the Discovery channel argue that silverback gorillas are 20 times stronger than average humans. These estimates are not valid because they are based on gorillas breaking bamboo. Why are the estimates invalid? The gorilla often bites the bamboo which makes it easier to break. Hence this is not a pure arm strength measurement! The Discovery channel pretends it is scientific estimate of the gorillas arm strength.

These estimates are even more ridiculous because they assume that just because the gorilla is much stronger than humans in certain movements that this automatically transfers to a lot of other movements. In other words, Discovery took the bogus 20 times stronger figure and applied it to overhead lifts (which gorillas would suck at). This is just absurd and is very poor scientific thinking. The whole thing is ridiculous.

A gorilla CANNOT lift 4,000 lbs. overhead. This is not an opinion. It is a fact. I say this with almost absolute certainty. A gorilla CANNOT lift 2,000 lbs. overhead. This isn't because a gorilla is weak. A gorilla would struggle to maintain balance if it tried to press a weight greater than its own bodyweight overhead. Its legs don't have the right balance of stabilizing muscles, its back is not erect enough, and its arms are too long. An overhead press would not even be a fair test of the gorilla's strength! The bench press would be easier for the gorilla, but the gorilla still has mechanical disadvantages (i.e. extremely long arms). I would be absolutely shocked if a gorilla could bench press anywhere near 2,000 lbs even with extensive training. (And yes, I'm assuming the gorilla cooperated.)

If the strongest man on the planet can bench-press 700 lbs. (without support gear), a trained healthy male silverback gorilla may or may not be able to match that. I don't know. We just don't know the gorillas potential. So many factors make it difficult to guess. Physical strength is a very complex characteristic involving multiple factors (mass, neuroligical efficiency, tendon shape etc.).

In conclusion, a gorilla is certainly much stronger than an average man in MOST movements, but possibly weaker than the world's strongest men in some movements. Humans are good at overhead lifts. World class power lifters are well designed for bench pressing. Gorillas might beat the strongest men in most upper body movements, but not all of them.

yeah i also read dont remember where the average gorila is 9 times stronger than the average walking normie

so if an average man deadlifts 200 lbs the average gorilla has probably the strenght to deadlifts 1800

also, i bet they can straight curl something between 80-90 KG

look how long their damn arms are. it's like a 6 inch ROM. i bet they could do like 4000 considering how dense they are with muscle and bone

The real question is how much a legit retarded silverback could lift

i think gorillas couldnt make certain movements due the case they bodies arent adapted to it

but if we put the strongest man vs the average gorilla to a pulling-pushing conquest the gorilla will overpower him

everyone look at this

youtube.com/watch?v=3T0z1CT-nR8

see how those gorillas weighting somewhat around 450 pounds move, how fast they are and how high and long they jump

it could give an estimate of the strenght they have

that acceleration at 0:34

More than you
More than you

>first post isn't "a gorillion pounds"

why did they put two silverbacks in the same fucking cage?

...

imagine gorillas playing football that would be fucking wild how is this not a thing yet

Boot up carnage the gorilla green text please

Jaime, pull that up...

>how much could a gorilla deadlift?

I read some where that they can rip car doors from their hinges and uproot small trees with one hand. They can also completely and with no effort lift their body weight when climbing all day long without feeling winded of tired.

So to answer your question. What would take the worlds strongest man years of training and steroids to lift a gorilla could lift easily and with no effort or training.

The late Lioyed Pye (B.S. in psychology and joined the United States Army as a military intelligence specialist) said if you want to know how strong a creature is relative to a human you only need to look at its skeleton. Bones hold us together and have to withstand a lot of force and pressure from labor and feets of strength. The thicker the bone the stronger the creature.

How is this relevant to his purported knowledge of anatomy and physiology?

what did he mean by this??

Yeah, not fair at all.

The pevlis and spine get me. Christ that skeleton looks indestructable.

Why cite someone with a bs?

So does that mean that a barrel chested and wide shouldered person is stronger than a narrow structured one?

It shows that he is not some random guy who just spouts nonsense. Also he became obsessed with crypto zoology and started researching animal anatomy as well as human anatomy after we was given a skull that looked alien to him. He dedicated the rest of his life to studying bones and running a lot of bone test on the skull.

shut up human, don't remind me

No. It just refers to the thickness of the bone relating to the muscle strength of the animal. A skeleton has to take the weight and pressure of any activity the body is design to do. Thick bones on a gorilla show how much power and force the bones are made to withstand since every muscle is anchored to the bones.

Compare a cheetah skeleton vs a lion skeleton. one is thin and light for speed while the other is thick and sturdy for strength.
