Strongest Man: 1,102 lb (500 kg) Eddie Hall set a world record by completing a half tonne deadlift in Leeds, UK.Shorter legs and longer arms make gorillas mechanically favored for this lift. This would easily be the gorillas best event. Gorilla: 2,000 lb (905 kg) They spend most of their time crab walking – meaning that their legs are not nearly as developed nor as strong as their arms.Strongest Man: 1,036 lb (470 kg) by Andrey Malanichev at Boss of Bosses II in Mountain View.But they also spend most their time on four legs – keeping their leg muscles from developing even more impressive strength. Gorillas have shorter legs, limiting the range of motion – make that lift easier. Here’s a spirited discussion on a gorillas prospects for being a bench press champion. World Record for Heaviest Bench Press (Male) Strongest Man: 885 lb (401.5 kg) by Blaine Sumner.But let’s just have fun and go with it anyway. Bench Press: Gorilla vs Manīecause of their disproportionate arm/leg length ratio, they are not really built for this type of competition. Here’s how a gorilla would do with some common lifts used to measure human strength. For a proper comparison, we would need to compare two individuals of equal size and training. Limitations: Gorillas don’t have training in lifting or fighting. How much stronger is a gorilla than a human? At least 6X stronger than a human, everything else being equal. Let me know in the comments what you think! In this post, I’ve accumulated a collection of facts and some assumptions to get the conversation started. There is a surprising absence of real data on the strength of a gorilla. This post is a combination of facts and conjecture. ![]() And no one has fought a gorilla against a bear (thankfully). They haven’t competed in strong man (ape) competitions. No one really knows how strong a gorilla is.
