Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | LaTuta said:I would love to se a shaved or hairless gorilla. They would be way way slimmer as they look now.Especially their arms. Also i think the researches done with chimps and the dynamometer are bogus. The scientist claimed a chimp is 7 stronger than a man and gorillas 15 times or so. And people just repeat these urban legends and take it for a fact. In my opinion guys like benni,shaw and eddie are at least as strong as a gorilla or stronger. 7 or 15 times is almost certainly an exaggeration (which "Scientist" do you refer?) but otherwise I assume this is a joke? In certain respects Strongmen would be stronger, sure - as I inferred above, Primates have certain structural "limitations" we don't have - but in terms of "wrestling" etc (ie. fighting and not biting etc) it wouldn't even be funny. | ||

I am from Germany so i know what i talk about. Member 5171, 1049 posts SQ 217.5, BP 160, DL 233.5611.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Gordy said: https://i.redditmedia.com/laqoA8YLIC7_zicYWxe89slO52Dpimw5xfiLIj5U914.jpg?w=640&s=ee391fbbfe1cf689fd865b2842a16266 This is a hairless chimp, looks way bigger than it does with hair. I think a 500lb shaved gorilla would be terrifying. The advantages chimps/gorillas have over humans go way beyond just muscle mass, attachment points of muscles, bone/size density (you can use a moat without a fence to keep chimps enclosed, since their bone density makes it impossible for them to swim) etc etc. Benni/Shaw/Hall and co would be way out of their depth. Yes that chimp looks jacked.But if you see it in front of you it's small. These things weigh max. 70kg. Gorillas just don't weigh 500lbs. They weigh between 140-180kg. Above that weight you would just find a fat gorilla in a zoo. I've seen plenty of documentaries where scientists claim a chimp is 7-8 stronger than the strongest humanbeing. Which is just plain stupid. Then there was a recent test where they tested chimps arm strength and the outcoming was that they are pound for pound 2 times as strong as normal man. | ||

No me neither those f**kers can become extremely angry and aggressive. Their teeth are monstruous. But purely strengthwise they are not what they often are made to be. | ||
